THE MAYOR’S message<br />

COVID-19<br />

The Stay-at-Home Order has accomplished just what we<br />

wanted — slowed the spread of the virus; and bought us time<br />

to build health care capacity; acquire masks,<br />

gloves, and ventilators; and to grow testing<br />

capacity. I am very proud of the residents and<br />

businesses of Greenwood Village who were<br />

compliant with the Order.<br />

As we transition into the Safer at Home phase,<br />

we are not back to normal, but we will get<br />

through this together. Even though we have<br />

begun to open our businesses and people can<br />

return to work in a modified and restricted<br />

setting; the virus will remain with us until we<br />

develop a vaccine. It is critical that we all take<br />

the recommended precautions and practice<br />

social distancing in the weeks and months<br />

ahead.<br />

Please continue to stay home as much as possible, wear face<br />

masks when out, and limit your direct exposure to people<br />

outside your household. It’s unfortunate but it is estimated<br />

that many more people will be exposed and fall ill to<br />

COVID-19. We are in this for the long haul so please take<br />

this new phase seriously.<br />

Monitor your health. If you have a Fever OR Cough OR<br />

Sore Throat OR Shortness of Breath, please stay home to<br />

protect others. You might have COVID-19. You may not<br />

have symptoms but you could still have COVID-19. There is<br />

a wealth of helpful COVID-19 information throughout this<br />

<strong>Newsletter</strong> beginning on page 4. You may also visit our<br />

GREENWOOD VILLAGE DAY<br />

CANCELED<br />

The City Council, City Manager and I have been closely<br />

monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and Tri-County<br />

Health Department’s Orders to help us understand the<br />

ramifications to our July 25th Greenwood Village Day<br />

celebration. With the number of unknowns and the need to<br />

protect the health of our residents and staff, the difficult<br />

decision has been made to cancel the event.<br />

VILLAGE HEROES<br />

Village Heroes come in all sizes! Congratulations to Kate<br />

Lederhos for being named a Village Hero. Seven-year-old<br />

Kate noticed two broken sprinkler heads in Westlands Park.<br />

Kate quickly notified me of the broken heads. Because of<br />

Kate’s swift action she prevented a significant loss of water<br />

and the resulting damage. Way to go Kate and thank you for<br />

being such a great community steward.<br />

If you would like to nominate a Village resident as a Village<br />

Hero who has contributed to the community in a small or<br />

big way, please email mgallegos@greenwoodvillage.com.<br />

JOINS LEGAL ACTION TO<br />

CHALLENGE METROPLEX<br />

Earlier this year, we informed you the Federal Aviation<br />

Administration (FAA) was going to implement the Denver<br />

Metroplex project. Metroplex is part of the FAA’s NextGen<br />

effort to modernize the national air transportation system.<br />

Denver was one of 11 Metroplexes around the country<br />

studied or implemented by the FAA. In general, Metroplex<br />

implementation uses new technologies to enable aircraft to<br />

fly shorter routes and enables air traffic controllers and pilots<br />

to track aircraft more precisely.<br />

The potential Metroplex impacts on Centennial Airport, the<br />

second busiest general aviation airport in the country with<br />

over 340,000 flight operations in 2018, has been a major<br />

concern to Greenwood Village residents.<br />

The Denver Metroplex was implemented on March 26 and<br />

included route changes for aircraft flying into and out of<br />

Denver international Airport and Centennial Airport. These<br />

new routes could potentially result in a greater or fewer<br />

number of aircraft flying over Greenwood Village and at<br />

what altitude. Due to COVID-19, flights have reduced by<br />

90% so the impact of Denver Metroplex new flight paths is<br />

currently unknown.<br />

Because your quality of life is a high priority in Greenwood<br />

Village, we joined Centennial Airport and Arapahoe,<br />

Douglas, and Gilpin counties and filed legal action in the<br />

U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit<br />

in March, a few days before the plan’s implementation date.<br />

We have requested the court to review the study of the plan’s<br />

potential impact on noise and the environment.<br />

We will keep you advised as to the status of our court filing.<br />

Residents may contact Greenwood Village City Council<br />

liaison to Centennial Airport, District 4 City<br />

Councilmember Tom Dougherty at 303-804-4132 or<br />

tdougherty@greenwoodvillage.com.<br />

Stay healthy and enjoy the beautiful spring weather!<br />

GOVERNOR’S<br />

SAFER AT HOME<br />

ORDER – EFFECTIVE<br />

THROUGH MAY 27<br />

GREENWOOD<br />

VILLAGE UNDER<br />

SAFER AT HOME ORDER<br />

Tri-County Health Department<br />

(TCHD) along with other Denver<br />

metro health departments allowed its<br />

Stay at Home order to expire <strong>May</strong> 8 at<br />

midnight for Adams and Arapahoe<br />

counties which includes Greenwood<br />

Village. With that expiration, each of<br />

Tri-County Health Department’s<br />

counties — Adams, Arapahoe and<br />

Douglas counties — will be under the<br />

State’s current Safer at Home order.<br />

The Safer at Home Order is set to<br />

expire 30 days from April 27 but can<br />

be amended or extended at any time.<br />

IN GREENWOOD VILLAGE<br />

This means that on <strong>May</strong> 9, critical<br />

businesses can remain open, and many<br />

non-critical businesses can begin to<br />

open with some restrictions according<br />

to the state’s Safer at Home order.<br />

Retail businesses can open for curbside<br />

delivery and can phase-in a public<br />

opening if they are implementing best<br />

practices.<br />

Personal services such as hair and nail<br />

salons, dog grooming, and personal<br />

training can open if they are<br />

implementing best practices.<br />

Elective medical and dental procedures<br />

may resume if facilities are following<br />

required safety protocols.<br />

Offices can reopen at 50% reduced inperson<br />

staffing capacity, if best<br />

practices are being implemented to<br />

protect the health and safety of<br />

employees. Businesses are encouraged<br />

to allow employees to continue<br />

telecommuting at higher levels if<br />

possible.<br />

Childcare facilities can also expand or<br />

reopen if they are following Safer at<br />

Home requirements.<br />

Restaurants, bars, nightclubs, gyms,<br />

spas, schools, playgrounds and picnic<br />

areas all remain closed during this<br />

period. However, restaurants and bars<br />

can still provide curbside pickup and<br />

delivery.<br />

Safer at Home is meant to provide a<br />

more sustainable way of living for<br />

Coloradans, while managing the<br />

spread of the virus to ensure our<br />

healthcare system has the capacity to<br />

manage an influx.<br />

Goals of this period include:<br />

• Managing the spread of the virus<br />

(R0 between 2 and 1).<br />

• Accessing to world-class health care<br />

for every Coloradan that gets sick.<br />

• Finding a more sustainable way to<br />

live.<br />

• Helping more Coloradans earn a<br />

living, while protecting health and<br />

safety.<br />

• Minimizing secondary health<br />

effects (mental and behavioral<br />

health impacts).<br />

Individuals are strongly advised to<br />

continue staying at home to the<br />

leaving for essential activities. People 65<br />

and older and those will underlying<br />

medical problems are at greater risk of<br />

severe illness from COVID-19 and<br />

should continue to stay at home unless<br />

leaving is absolutely necessary.<br />

Everyone should continue to take these<br />

disease prevention actions to protect<br />

themselves as well as others in their<br />

family and community:<br />

• Wear a non-medical mask or face<br />

covering when away from your<br />

home, particularly in indoor settings<br />

where social distancing is difficult.<br />

• Stay at least six feet away from<br />

others if you must go out.<br />

• If you have symptoms of COVID-<br />

19, isolate yourself and contact your<br />

health care provider.<br />

• Do not go to work or other public<br />

spaces if you are sick.<br />

• Wash your hands frequently with<br />

soap and warm water for at least 20<br />

seconds.<br />

• Only travel when absolutely<br />

essential.<br />

SAFETY TIPS<br />

PROTECT YOURSELF<br />

AND OTHERS<br />

FACE COVERINGS<br />

The public is strongly encouraged to<br />

wear face coverings to cover your nose<br />

and mouth in settings where contact<br />

with others may occur. According to<br />

Tri-County Health Department<br />

(TCHD), and endorsed by the CDC<br />

and the Surgeon General, there is<br />

laboratory-based evidence that<br />

sufficiently supports the use of nonmedical<br />

or cloth face masks. Face<br />

coverings are believed to be particularly<br />

important in preventing transmission<br />

to others, especially among the large<br />

percentage of COVID-19 infected<br />

persons who are asymptomatic and<br />

don’t realize that they have a risk of<br />

transmitting infection to others.<br />

Wearing cloth face coverings is an<br />

additional public health measure<br />

people should take to reduce the<br />

spread of COVID-19. CDC still<br />

recommends that you stay at least 6<br />

feet away from other people (social<br />

distancing), frequent hand cleaning<br />

and other everyday preventive actions.<br />

Cloth face coverings can be made from<br />

household items or made at home<br />

from common materials at low cost.<br />

Surgical masks and N95 respirators are<br />

in short supply and should be reserved<br />

for healthcare workers or other<br />

medical first responders.<br />

For more information on masks, please<br />

CDPHE SYMPTOM<br />

TRACKER NOW<br />

FULLY FUNCTIONAL<br />

The Colorado Department of Public<br />

Health and Environment (CDPHE)<br />

Symptom Tracker is up and running!<br />

The survey is designed to track<br />

COVID-19 symptoms among people<br />

who may not be able to or need to get<br />

tested for the virus. People who use the<br />

symptom tracker can choose to receive<br />

text messages. CDPHE will check on<br />

their condition, direct them towards<br />

resources to help manage symptoms,<br />

help people access medical care and<br />

services, and provide information<br />

about how to get tested if necessary.<br />

In addition to providing those with<br />

COVID-19 symptoms information,<br />

the symptom tracker will provide<br />

Local Public Health Agencies (LPHA)<br />

with data for their geographic coverage<br />

area. This could help public health<br />

officials understand when outbreaks<br />

are occurring in given locations and, in<br />

some cases, follow up with certain<br />

individuals who may need additional<br />

support. By using symptom tracker,<br />

users consent to share this information<br />

with and receive messages from their<br />

local public health agency. Data is only<br />

shared with CDPHE and the local<br />

public health agency for responding to<br />

COVID-19.<br />

For more information, visit<br />

appears that it can spread from people<br />

to animals in some situations.<br />

Therefore, the CDC is recommending<br />

that people who have tested positive<br />

for COVID-19 or who have<br />

• Denver Health Urgent Care<br />

• Zip Clinic Urgent Care<br />

• Advanced Urgent Care and<br />

Occupational Medicine<br />

• National Jewish<br />

• And many local doctors are also<br />

testing their own patients<br />

Please check websites and reach out to<br />

any facility you would like to go to for<br />

hours, testing info, and associated costs.<br />

In addition to general information on<br />

symptoms of COVID-19 treat their<br />

pets as they would other people in<br />

their household. That means selfisolate<br />

from your pets, too! You can do<br />

this by:<br />

• Having other people in your<br />

household take care of your pet, if<br />

possible.<br />

• Avoid contact with your pet. This<br />

includes petting, snuggling, and<br />

sharing food.<br />

• If you are unable to have someone<br />

else take care of your pet, wear a<br />

cloth face covering and wash your<br />

hands before and after you<br />

testing for COVID-19, the Web page<br />

also covers what to do after testing.<br />

TCHD encourages anyone with a<br />

fever, cough, sore throat, or shortness<br />

of breath to self-isolate until:<br />

• You have had no fever for at least 3<br />

days without using a fever-reducing<br />

medication, and<br />

• Your symptoms have greatly<br />

improved for at least 3 days, and<br />

• At least 7 days have passed since<br />

your symptoms first appeared.<br />

• If after 7 days, fever is still present<br />

— or — respiratory symptoms are<br />

not improving, then stay home for<br />

10 full days.<br />

TCHD is frequently updating the<br />

Web page with new information so<br />

interact with them.<br />

In addition to keeping sick people<br />

away from pets, the CDC is<br />

recommending that you don’t let your<br />

animals interact with people or<br />

animals from outside your household.<br />

What does that mean? Social<br />

distancing! So, how do you socially<br />

distance your pets?<br />

• Keep your dogs on a leash and<br />

maintain 6 feet from other people<br />

AND animals.<br />

• Keep cats indoors as much as<br />

possible to limit their interactions<br />

with other people and animals.<br />

• Avoid dog parks or other places<br />

where animals and dogs gather.<br />

FAIRGROUNDS<br />

TRANSFORMED<br />

TO ALTERNATE<br />

CARE MEDICAL<br />

FACILITY<br />

OPERATION WILL<br />

HOST RECOVERING<br />

COVID-19 PATIENTS<br />

AFTER DISCHARGE<br />

The Arapahoe County Fairgrounds<br />

have been converted to a tier 4<br />

alternate care facility for COVID-19<br />

patients to help alleviate crowding at<br />

regional hospitals. The temporary<br />

facility will host cases that don’t<br />

require acute or critical care. Upon<br />

opening, the site can hold 54<br />

individuals and can increase capacity<br />

up to 150 if the need arises. The<br />

medical shelter is the product of a<br />

multi-agency response team that<br />

completed the transformation in a<br />

matter of days with the help of the<br />

Colorado National Guard.<br />

The alternate care facility does not<br />

accept walk-up patients and is not a<br />

hospital. Rather, the facility operates as<br />

a medical shelter and is best<br />

suited for those patients who are<br />

ready to return to their original<br />

housing situation but are unable<br />

to do so because of their<br />

circumstances. Local hospitals<br />

will make direct referrals for<br />

guests to the facility. The<br />

temporary alternate care facility is<br />

being managed by the Arapahoe<br />

County Emergency Operations<br />

Center (EOC), with paramedics<br />

and medical students providing<br />

care and observation for<br />

recovering guests.<br />

The Emergency Operations<br />

Center — which operates under<br />

the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s<br />

Office — is managing the<br />

County’s response to the<br />

pandemic, working in<br />

partnership with the Board of<br />

County Commissioners, Tri-County<br />

Health Department, state and local<br />

officials. The EOC coordinates<br />

resources, implements emergency<br />

operations and handles logistics<br />

support for law enforcement and<br />

municipalities across the County.<br />

Building on established emergency<br />

plans, the EOC outfitted the facility,<br />

relocating existing supplies such as<br />

durable medical equipment and beds<br />

from across the County. Local<br />

municipalities and nonprofits also<br />

donated to support the facility,<br />

including use of a shower trailer<br />

donated by the nonprofit Aurora<br />

Warms the Night. The EOC also<br />

finalized contracts with local<br />

businesses for feeding, linens, sanitizer<br />

stations, janitorial services and<br />

security. GV<br />

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY<br />

COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS<br />

The following citizens were appointed by the Greenwood Village City Council to serve on the various boards and commissions:<br />

Carlton Jennings, District 1<br />

Board of Adjustments And Appeals<br />

Carlton and Judy Jennings and family<br />

located to Greenwood Village from<br />

Melbourne, Australia, in 2001. Very<br />

familiar with our state due to Judy’s<br />

historic family roots firmly fixed in<br />

Colorado since the late 1850s, the<br />

Jennings settled into the Village life easily.<br />

With children in school and Judy working<br />

with Cherry Creek Schools, Carlton established a business<br />

using his communications experience to provide operational<br />

data to large agricultural producers such as dairies, poultry<br />

businesses and agricultural logistic enterprises.<br />

Giving back to the community is a significant part of being a<br />

citizen of our local community and state. Carlton was the<br />

public member to the Colorado Medical Board for eight years,<br />

represented District 1 on the Village Transportation Committee<br />

group, and has headed his local homeowners’ association.<br />

A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Carlton flew as a Naval<br />

Aviator and traveled extensively with Judy throughout the U.S.<br />

and overseas. Post-graduate degrees from Johns Hopkins<br />

(School of Advanced International Studies), and Catholic and<br />

Georgetown Universities rounded out an academic<br />

background.<br />

mental health care and a Master of Laws in International Trade Law.<br />

She has lived in a number of cities across the United States including<br />

Tucson, New York City, and Oakland before moving to Colorado. In<br />

2003 she was admitted to the New York Bar and continued a<br />

consulting career, publishing articles in both law and economics,<br />

before pursuing her life-long dream of becoming a fiction writer. Her<br />

published books include an Edwardian-era mystery series featuring a<br />

suffragette protagonist, Ursula Marlow, reflecting Clare’s passion for<br />

history as well as women’s rights.<br />

Clare was president of her sons’ elementary school PTCO and<br />

continued to be involved during their middle school years. She is<br />

currently actively engaged in her sons’ marching band and speech and<br />

debate parent<br />

associations at Cherry<br />

Creek High School, while<br />

she continues to write<br />

and work part-time as a<br />

legislative aide for<br />

Senator Rhonda Fields.<br />

In addition to her<br />

writing, Clare is an<br />

amateur painter,<br />

crossword enthusiast,<br />

and novice knitter. She<br />

loves to travel, visiting<br />

family in both Australia<br />

and the United Kingdom,<br />

and enjoys hikes and<br />

skiing in the Colorado<br />

mountains. Clare lives in<br />

Greenwood Village<br />

district 2, with her<br />

DENVER WATER TAKES AIM AT<br />

LEAD IN DRINKING WATER<br />

You may have heard through the local news stations that<br />

Denver Water is launching its Lead Reduction Program.<br />

Denver Water delivers a water supply without harmful<br />

contaminants however, in older areas of the Denver<br />

metropolitan area, some homes may have been constructed<br />

with lead service lines or interior plumbing that contains<br />

lead. Denver Water’s Lead Reduction Program anticipates<br />

replacing an estimated 64,000 to 84,000 lead service lines in<br />

its service area at no direct cost to the customer and<br />

providing water filters certified to remove lead to customers<br />

who have or are likely to have a lead service line.<br />

In Denver Water’s experience, homes built prior to 1951 are<br />

more likely to have a lead service line. Other sources of lead<br />

found inside a home’s plumbing include lead solder,<br />

commonly used to connect sections of copper pipe until<br />

1987, and faucets and fixtures manufactured prior to 2014<br />

that do not meet today’s requirements for “lead free” fixtures.<br />

In March Denver Water launched its Lead Reduction<br />

Program by raising the pH of the water it delivers to 1.5<br />

million people in the city and many surrounding suburbs.<br />

The program was approved by state and federal health<br />

officials in December 2019.<br />

This program will protect the health of our customers,<br />

especially children, saving generations from potential lead<br />

exposure through drinking water. Learn more about the Lead<br />

Reduction Program at denverwater.org/Lead.<br />

This unprecedented program will protect the health of our<br />

customers, especially children, saving generations from<br />

potential lead exposure through drinking water. Learn more<br />

about the Lead Reduction Program at denverwater.org/Lead.<br />

UPDATE ON THE PROJECT<br />

IN GREENWOOD VILLAGE<br />

Public Works and Community Development have been<br />

working with Denver Water to provide information regarding<br />

building construction to help eliminate potential properties.<br />

The initial efforts to research building permits and<br />

construction dates resulted in an estimation that less than<br />

100 properties in Greenwood Village are likely to contain<br />

lead service lines. Denver Water is proceeding with<br />

notifications and sending test kits to suspected lead service<br />

properties. In addition to the test kits, Brita pitchers will be<br />

mailed out in June to any suspected lead service property<br />

that does not mail back a test kit or the returned test kit<br />

shows the likelihood of lead service.<br />

Denver Water has developed a GIS map to show the<br />

current status of properties in their service area. You will<br />

have to zoom in to see Greenwood Village —<br />

bit.ly/3c9aXZQ. You may notice that the map also includes<br />

a designation of “unlikely lead services” based on the low<br />

probability of having lead (post 1951) and those properties<br />

may request a test kit but will not receive one<br />

automatically. It is recommended that owners request a test<br />

kit if one is available for your property.<br />

KNOW THE SOUNDS OF THE LIGHTNING<br />

DEVICES AT MAJOR VILLAGE PARKS<br />

During the summer storm season, Village park users and visitors may be exposed to potential dangers of<br />

a lightning storm while being outside. In efforts to provide a safer environment while attending events at<br />

Village Greens Park, Curtis Park, Westlands Park, Silo Park, and Tommy Davis Park, the Village has<br />

installed lightning prediction and warning systems to alert park users of the potential for lightning before it<br />

strikes.<br />

The lightning systems in designated Village parks are prediction systems not detector systems. These<br />

systems measure the shift of the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere and in the ground that<br />

could create an energy flow that may result in a lightning strike once a conductive cloud to ground path is<br />

available. The lightning prediction and warning system senses and evaluates these shifts and changes in<br />

the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of an actual lightning strike and activates an audible, as<br />

well as, visual warning alerting of the dangerous conditions.<br />

The systems are set to monitor a 2.5 mile radius from its location. When the conditions are ripe for<br />

lightning at the parks or within the 2.5 mile radius, a continuous audible horn is activated for a period of<br />

15 seconds alerting users of the potential for lightning and activating yellow strobes on the roofs of the structures located within the parks.<br />

These strobes will stay activated throughout the period of potential lightning activity and will shut off only after an all clear signal consisting<br />

of three five second audible horn blasts. The systems are operational between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week, through<br />

the spring and summer months.<br />

of your project.<br />

Their showroom has beautiful<br />

examples of the products and finishes<br />

that customers can choose from<br />

displayed in multiple ways. They have<br />

kitchen layouts, a closet layout, a<br />

reading nook and even their office<br />

space is an excellent example of what<br />

they can offer. They are partnered<br />

with general contractors but are happy<br />

to work with their customers’<br />

contractors as well. They also have<br />

connections and contacts for anything<br />

that they are not able to do<br />

themselves and can help point<br />

customers in the right direction.<br />

They have finished more than 1,000<br />

projects in the metro area and<br />

continue to work on 40-50 projects a<br />

year. They are more than willing to<br />

put in every effort for their customers<br />

and can work within any reasonable<br />

budget. Their designs have won<br />

awards and they are experienced in<br />

specialty designs including kosher<br />

kitchens. Examples of some of these<br />

designs can be seen on their website.<br />

BRANCH AND POPPY’S<br />

EGGSTRAVAGANZA<br />

Our annual Egg Hunt was adapted into a proper social<br />

distancing neighborhood and virtual hunt.<br />

Residents got fresh air and had fun searching for pictures of<br />

Branch, Poppy and colorful eggs in their neighborhood. Many<br />

homes and parks displayed the pictures for kids to find. Families<br />

sent the total numbers they found, along with great pictures to<br />

the Greenwood Village Parks, Trails and Recreation Department.<br />

The virtual egg hunt took place on our registration pages<br />

connecting through the Greenwood Village website. At the end<br />

of the hunt families were instructed to send an email with the<br />

number of images they located on the pages.<br />

Winners of both egg hunts received wonderful prizes and their<br />

pictures were posted on the Greenwood Village Facebook page.<br />

Thank you to all participants!<br />

Residents start your engines!<br />

CALLING ALL GREENWOOD<br />

VILLAGE ARTISTS<br />

In 2014, a group of Greenwood Village artists, known as the<br />

Women of Steele, opened their studios to begin a tradition of<br />

celebrating the arts in our community. This year the City of<br />

Greenwood Village has partnered with the Women of Steele<br />

to expand the tour to additional studios in Greenwood<br />

Village.<br />

The Cultural Arts Program is seeking artists residing in<br />

Greenwood Village to share their studio and/or artwork.<br />

Accepted artists will have the choice of opening their studio<br />

to the public as part of the tour or to show their work in an<br />

“art festival” setting under a tent located outside of the<br />

Curtis Center for the Arts.<br />

The event takes place Saturday, September 12, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.<br />

An artists prospectus and application can be found at<br />

www.callforentry.org, using search word: Greenwood Village<br />

or find a link at www.greenwoodvillage.com/ culturalarts.<br />

For questions or additional information please contact Chris<br />

Stevens at 303-708-6110 or cstevens@greenwoodvillage.com.<br />

Dates may change due to COVID-19.<br />
