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 />

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 />

testing sites require a doctor’s referral<br />
and for you to make an appointment<br />

COVID-19 AND PETS<br />
Recently, the Centers for Disease<br />
Control and Prevention (CDC)<br />
released guidance about pets and<br />
COVID-19. At this time, there is no<br />
evidence that animals spread COVID-<br />
19, and the risk of pets spreading<br />
COVID-19 to people is low. We are<br />
still learning about this virus, but it<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
