COVID-19 UPDATE 

We continue to live our lives under the Governor’s Safer at 

Home Order through June 30. The new 

Orders allow us to enjoy the indoor dining at 

restaurants, bars, and breweries. Playgrounds, 

summer camps, campgrounds and swimming 

pools are also open with social distancing 

measures. It is great news that our State is 

opening back up. 

In Greenwood Village, many businesses have 

opened their doors. The Village has opened 

City Hall and the Maintenance Facility. 

Playgrounds are now open such as Westlands 

George Lantz and Silo Park, Carson Skate Park, Village 

glantz@ 

Greens Mountain Bike Course and the Disc 

greenwoodvillage.com 

Golf Course. Summer camps are being hosted 

303-486-5741 

by the Village with strict social distancing 

measures in place. 

As our lives return to a more normal state, the threat of 

COVID-19 remains real until there is an effective treatment 

or vaccine. Because a vaccine will take many months, it is 

very important to continue practicing safe habits. Please 

remember, limiting face-to-face contact with others outside 

your household is still the best way to reduce the spread of 

COVID-19. 

Remember these six important ways to protect yourself 

and others: 

1. Regularly wash your hands with soap and water. 

2. Clean and disinfect high touch surfaces. 

3. Wear a face mask in public places. 

4. Keep at least 6 feet apart from others. 

5. If you are sick, stay home and quarantine yourself. 

6. Stay connected with family and friends. 

Let’s continue to take care of ourselves, our families, and our 

community. We will get through this together.

UPDATE ON VILLAGE PROJECTS 

I wanted to share an exciting update on the progress of three 

Village projects. 

Goldsmith Gulch-Huntington Acres Park to Tommy Davis 

Park — The improvements to the Maplewood Avenue 

entrance and Tommy Davis Park are nearing completion 

which will allow for the eastern trail along Tommy Davis Park 

to be opened in the next two weeks. Channel work and trail 

improvements will continue through Huntington Acres Park 

with substantial completion of the complete project in mid- 

August. 

Belleview Medians — Great progress continues to be made 

with the largest hurdle of getting horizontal boring for 

irrigation water sources and electrical sources out to the 

medians nearing completion. Final phases of plantings and 

mulch installation has begun on the west end moving east 

with substantial project completion anticipated for the end of 

June. 

Bridgwater Pond Improvements Project — Construction 

activities for the Bridgwater Improvements project are 

underway. The scope of the project is to improve water 

quality in the Goldsmith Gulch corridor and remove two 

buildings from the regulatory floodplain. Improvements 

completed to date include the installation of a grouted 

boulder drop structure and bridge/ water quality structure. 

The project is anticipated to be substantially complete in June 

with wetland plants and vegetation to be planted in July. 

You can read more about two other Village projects on pages 

6 and 7 of this Newsletter.

VILLAGE HEROES 

Congratulations to siblings Hannah and Kevin 

Reyes for being named Villager Heroes. These two 

teens are being recognized for making a difference 

in making, selling and donating masks to the 

community. Hannah, who has a hair accessory 

business, was inspired by the call to action to make 

masks since she has the supplies from her existing 

business. She has made more than 600 masks to 

date. Hannah, who is 13 years old and a freshman 

at St. Mary’s Academy worked with her brother 

Kevin, 17, a senior at Regis Jesuit on the 

production, delivery, and donation of masks to 

customers and recipients. The brother and sister 

team spent months during their free time working 

on their mask production. They have donated 

masks to restaurant and delivery workers, post 

office personnel, people at bus stops, and will soon 

donate to the Children’s Hospital Colorado. They 

were recently recognized by the Denver Area Council of the 

Boy Scouts of America for their donation of masks that will 

benefit the summer operations staff. Kevin is an Eagle Scout 

and belongs to Troop 457 of Greenwood Village.

Congratulations to Martin and Jenny Rankin for being 

named Village Heroes. Their recognition is a result of their 

efforts during the pandemic to provide home-made masks 

and soaps to their neighbors through a barrel located outside 

their home. Nearly, 2,500 homemade masks have been 

distributed to Greenwood Village residents and businesses. 

Martin and Jenny’s work in the community is part of their 

greater philanthropic efforts through an organization they 

founded named the Greenwood Hobbits. The Greenwood 

Hobbits is a group of neighbors that work together to 

help other neighbors. You can learn more about them online 

at Greenwoodhobbits.com. 

If you would like to nominate a Village resident who has 

contributed to the community as a Village Hero, please email

TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLED 

After many years of discussion and work with the 

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to 

obtain approval, the new traffic signal at Belleview 

Avenue and Steele Street was installed in May. The cities 

of Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills Village partnered 

to design and construct the traffic signal. The traffic 

signal will be “turned on” in June. The traffic signal will 

improve safety and reduce side street delays for residents 

leaving Steele Street or those leaving the Glenmoor 

Country Club. The new signal will be maintained and 

operated by CDOT.

GOVERNMENT 

GREENWOOD VILLAGE 

ACQUIRES XCEL 

STREET LIGHTS 

It’s official. All of the Xcel street lights in the Village are 

now owned by the City. The Village took over ownership 

of 762 lights from Xcel Energy in May 2020, bringing the 

total City-owned street lights to 924. The primary reasons 

for taking over the ownership of all street lights is to lower 

annual electricity costs, improve the efficiency of 

maintenance, and to leverage the street light poles for 

additional infrastructure needs. 

Street lights in Greenwood Village are typically located 

within the right-of-way and provide roadway lighting and 

decorative lighting at entrances to neighborhoods. Of the 

924 street lights, 762 were previously owned and 

maintained by Xcel Energy. With Xcel owned lights, 

Greenwood Village paid monthly for energy consumption 

and routine maintenance. Most street lights do not need 

monthly routine maintenance and therefore monthly costs 

will be reduced to electric costs only. 

In addition to lowering costs, the acquisition of street 

lights will allow the Village to respond to street light 

damage and make repairs more quickly. Moving forward 

please report all street light outages to Public Works at 

303-708-6100. 

Finally, the Village will be able to maintain our unique 

street light appearance while adding additional technology 

to street lights. This may be in the form of small cell 

infrastructure or new technology that assists in the 

deployment of autonomous vehicle technology.

COVID-19

GOVERNOR’S SAFER AT 

HOME ORDER AND IN THE 

VAST, GREAT OUTDOORS 

— THROUGH JUNE 30 

Colorado has slowed the spread of 

COVID-19 through Stay-at-Home and 

Safer at Home orders; however, the virus is 

still present in Colorado and can re-surge at 

any time. Everyone needs to continue to do 

their part to protect themselves, their loved 

ones, and our communities. 

At this time, Colorado transitioned to Safer 

at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors. 

While it is strongly encouraged that people at 

risk of severe illness from COVID-19 remain 

at home, the new Order allows limited 

reopening of postsecondary institutions and 

certain businesses. People are able to practice 

greater social distancing in our vast outdoors 

than in confined indoor spaces. 

Activities that are done with 10 or fewer 

individuals, following Social Distancing 

Requirements for non-household members 

are authorized. Individuals may participate in 

local and personal recreation in outside 

public spaces, as an authorized Necessary 

Activity, in groups no larger 

than 10 and practicing social 

distancing maintaining 

6 feet between participants. 

Much of Colorado is now open 

with restrictions to prevent the 

spread of COVID-19 and 

protect those at highest risk for 

severe illness. Here are just a 

few of the things you can now 

enjoy: 

• Camping 

• In-person dining 

• Organized sports leagues 

• Parks & playgrounds 

• Swimming pools 

• Gyms 

• Spring skiing 

• Guided tours 

• Retail shopping 

• Short term rentals 

Private campgrounds may open for 

use. Playgrounds and outdoor sports 

facilities, such as tennis and pickleball 

courts, may be open for use for no 

more than 25 people at a time. 

Outdoor swimming pools may open at 

50% capacity, limited to no more than 

50 people. Organized recreational 

youth or adult league sports may 

resume activities with no more than 

25 players outdoors or 10 players 

indoors. Parents may attend youth 

sports activities but must remain 

6 feet apart from non-household 

members. Spectators are strongly 

discouraged for adult sports. 

Gyms, recreation centers and indoor 

pools may open at 25% capacity, not 

to exceed 50 people, whichever is less, 

per room, maintaining 6 feet 

distancing. Competitive events such as 


GOVERNMENT 

races and endurance events are permitted as long as 

6-foot distancing and limitations on group size can be 

maintained. 

Guide services for fishing, hunting, biking, horseback 

riding, canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, 

ATV tours, and climbing are permitted in groups no 

larger than 10. River outfitters, rafting, or Jeep Tours 

in groups of up to 2 households in a boat or jeep 

only in groups of no more than 10. 

As schools plan for the 2020-21 school year under 

the extraordinary circumstances brought on by 

COVID-19, the Colorado Department of Education 

working alongside school district leaders and the 

Colorado Department of Public Health and 

Environment has developed initial and draft guidance 

for reopening schools in the fall. 

Existing guidance for businesses that can operate is 

available at covid19.colorado.gov/safer-at-home. 

The State provided latest modeling data on 

pandemic. The report provides an estimate of the 

degree of distancing that Coloradans have achieved so 

far. It also provides projections based on various 

policy scenarios around physical distancing, maskwearing, 

and improved case detection and 

containment. The models are based on Colorado data 

and assumptions. 

Key findings from State’s modeling data: 

• Mobility data show a continued decline in time 

spent at home, likely reflecting the change from 

Stay at Home to Safer at Home. 

• The updated model findings, which cover the 

period through May 14, indicate that COVID-19 

continues to decline in Colorado, but the declines 

have begun to slow. 

• The extent the community is social distancing has 

dropped to 75% through May 14 as the entire state 

moved to Safer at Home. The reproductive number 

is increasing. 

• Modeling projections that extend into the summer 

and through November 2020 continue to indicate 

a need for social distancing of at least 65% unless 

most people 60 years and older maintain high 

levels of social distancing (80%) as seen during the 

Stay-at-Home period. 

• Relaxation of social distancing to lower levels (45% 

or lower) is predicted to lead to a surge in sick 

people in excess of hospital capacity by midsummer, 

even if implemented with mask-wearing, 

increased case detection and isolation, and higher 

levels of social distancing by all older adults. 

• Model findings indicate that increased maskwearing 

will help control the COVID-19 epidemic.

GOVERNMENT 


A MASK CAN SAVE A LIFE 

COLORADO GOVERNOR ISSUES 

EXECUTIVE ORDER ALLOWING 

BUSINESS TO REFUSE SERVICE 

TO MASKLESS CUSTOMERS 

In an effort to slow the 

spread of COVID-19 in 

the State, Governor Polis 

issued an Executive Order 

in June allowing 

businesses across 

Colorado to refuse service to customers 

who will not wear a mask. 

The public is strongly encouraged to wear 

face coverings to cover your nose and 

mouth in settings where contact with 

others may occur. According to Tri-County 

Health Department (TCHD), and 

endorsed by the CDC and the Surgeon 

General, there is laboratory-based evidence 

that sufficiently supports the use of nonmedical 

or cloth face masks. Face coverings 

are believed to be particularly important in 

preventing transmission to others, 

especially among the large percentage 

of COVID-19 infected persons who 

are asymptomatic and don’t realize 

that they have a risk of transmitting 

infection to others. 

Wearing cloth face coverings is an 

additional public health measure 

people should take to reduce the 

spread of COVID-19. CDC still 

recommends that you stay at least 6 

feet away from other people (social 

distancing), frequent hand cleaning 

and other everyday preventive 

actions. 

Cloth face coverings can be made 

from household items or made at 

home from common materials at 

low cost. Surgical masks and N95 

respirators are in short supply and 

should be reserved for healthcare 

workers or other medical first 

responders. 

FACE COVERINGS 

SHOULD: 

• Be clean and in good repair. 

• Fit snugly, but comfortably 

against the side of the face. 

• Be secure. 

• Include multiple layers of fabric. 

• Allow for breathing without 

restriction. 

• Be able to be laundered and 

machine dried on a daily basis. 

MASKS SHOULD NOT: 

• Have anything hanging off the 

facial covering 

that would create a food safety 

hazard. 

• Have holes or tears. 

• Masks should not be shared with 

others. 

WEARING MASKS: 

• Wash your hands before and after 

putting a facial covering in place. 

• Do not touch the facial covering 

again until you remove it. 

• Masks should be positioned so 

that there is no need to adjust or 

otherwise touch the face 

frequently. 

• If your mask becomes soiled or 

hard to breathe through, you 

should remove and not wear 

again until laundered. 

• Remove your mask to eat and 

drink and if it is still in good 

repair, you may continue to use it 

for the duration of your day. GV 


GOVERNMENT 


GUIDANCE FOR SMALL GATHERINGS 

Colorado continues to operate under the Safer at Home 

Guidelines through June 30. This includes limiting 

gatherings to no more than 10 people. Although limiting 

face-to-face contact with others is still the best way to reduce 

the spread of COVID-19, here is some guidance on how to 

stay safe during small social gatherings such as birthday 

parties, barbecues, and picnics. 

THE BASICS 

Social distancing — keeping space between yourself and 

other people that live outside of your home — masking, 

hand washing and staying home when you are sick are still 

the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19. 

Guests should be asked to wear a cloth mask and keep 6 feet 

apart from each other at all times. Guests should self-screen 

themselves for symptoms before coming to a gathering and 

anyone showing symptoms should stay home. 

Providing easy access to hand washing and/or hand sanitizer 

is a good way to encourage guests to wash their hands 

frequently. Provide paper towels by all sinks to dry hands to 

avoid using a common cloth towel with people outside your 

household. 

Special care should be taken in social interactions involving 

those people most vulnerable to serious complications of 

COVID-19 (those > 65 or with underlying illnesses) and it is 

important that gatherings remain small with groups not 

exceeding 10 people at any time. 

THINGS TO CONSIDER 

Keeping Everyone Six Feet Apart 

• Use tape or other marker to identify where people should 

sit or stand or to illustrate personal distance among people 

when gathering. 

• Consider having your gathering outside to increase the 

amount of space and open air. 

• Remind guests to stay 6 feet apart. Signs can be a fun way 

to keep guests aware of spacing. 

• Have a separate entrance and exit to decrease the number 

of people passing each other. 

Preventing Unnecessary Contact 

During In-Person Gatherings 

• Set up a way to video-call in guests, especially family and 

friends that are vulnerable. 

• Have visitors come in shifts to decrease the number of 

people visiting at one time. Wipe down chairs and other 

touched surfaces between guests. Invite more vulnerable 

guests to visit earlier and alone if they do not remain at 

home. 

• Prop open doors and take lids off of trash cans to decrease 

the number of items touched. 

• Remove unnecessary items that guests may be tempted to 

touch like lawn games. 

Increasing Sanitation 

• Keep disinfecting wipes close to commonly touched 

surfaces like doors and bathrooms and encourage guests to 

use them. 

• If serving food, ask guests to use their own utensils to 

serve themselves rather than any shared serving utensils. 

Consider a picnic style gathering and ask guests to bring 

their own food and drink or serve a pre-packaged meal 

instead of buffet or family-style. 

• Identify someone to wipe down surfaces frequently. 

• Have hand sanitizer available in different areas and 

encourage people to use it frequently, in addition to hand 

washing. 

Other 

• Provide cloth face coverings to those guests that do not 

have one. 

• If possible, consider asking guests to bring their own 

chairs to decrease the number of touched surfaces. 

• Before allowing young children to participate, consider 

their ability to understand and adhere to social distancing. 

• If inside, consider opening windows to increase 

ventilation. 

• If you plan to use your own private pool, clean handrails 

often; avoid sharing pool noodles, goggles, kickboards and 

toys; avoid using slides and other structures designed for 

climbing or playing; take turns swimming to reduce the 

number of people in the pool at one time; remind visitors 

to keep their distance and use EPA approved disinfectants. 

• Consider the level of transmission in your area and in the 

areas where guests may be visiting from. If the 

transmission rate is high in your area it is riskier to gather, 

even in small groups of just family. 

• Send your plan to guests ahead of time to allow them to 

prepare and ask questions: this is a time to be intentional 

about taking steps to protect yourself and family/friends 

and not leave it to chance.

the health, safety and well-being of the 

community by ensuring that all 

construction is completed consistently 

and within safety standards. A 

building permit is generally required 

for: 

• Any new building, addition, 

alteration, or repair, or 

• Exterior site improvements. 

If your construction project does not 

comply with building codes, the value 

of your investment could be reduced. 

If you decide to sell a home that has 

modifications without a permit, you 

may be required to tear down the 

addition or conduct costly repairs. 

Your first step is to hire a licensed 

contractor. The property owner is 

responsible for verifying building 

permits have been secured prior to the 

commencement of any work.

How To Apply For A Permit

Issuance Of Permit 

The permit is required to be posted 

within view of the public, until all 

inspections have been completed and a 

certificate has been issued.

12, 1988, an asbestos report for the 

area of work will be required in 

accordance with Colorado Department 

of Public Health and Environment. 

Helpful Tips For 

Hiring Contractors 

• Check references to make sure the 

contractor is qualified for the 

project. 

• Check with Community 

Development to verify your 

contractor is licensed. 

• Verify that the contractor has 

workers’ compensation, liability 

insurance, and the building permit 

before any work begins on your 

project. 

• Any agreement you make with your 

contractor should be in writing. 

Requiring a written contract will 

ensure that your project will be 

completed with the desired results, 

within the time frame specified, 

and within the price range you 

agreed to pay.

FENCES 

All fences in Greenwood Village must be constructed, repaired and 

replaced according to the Village’s fence regulations. A plan must be 

submitted to the Village before a fence permit can be issued. The fence is 

inspected after construction to ensure it is consistent with the approved 

plan. Depending on the zoning district, PUD and/or subdivision in which 

you live, there are many particulars concerning fences, such as allowable 

height, opacity, setback from property lines, types, and visibility triangle 

concerns. Essentially, fences built on berms or rear yards, cannot exceed 

six feet (6) in height, cannot be barbed wire, and cannot be erected in 

front yards, with certain exceptions. Side and rear lot setbacks, particular 

to your zoning district and Planned Unit Development, must also be met. 

Fences are required around an outdoor pool that is not equipped with an 

approved power safety cover.

OUTDOOR 

EATING AREAS 

TEMPORARILY 

PERMITTED IN 

GREENWOOD 

VILLAGE 

The Village has proactively 

created a pathway for 

restaurants to extend 

outdoor eating areas to 

assist with social distancing 

and occupancy 

requirements. 

Outdoor Eating Areas are 

temporarily permitted on 

walkways and in parking 

lots to assist restaurants and 

bars with COVID-19 social 

distancing and occupancy 

requirements, subject to the 

following: 

• Permits are required but 

the fees are waived. 


GOVERNMENT 

• Control of the premises (e.g. physical barriers or 

signage) is required for consumption of alcoholic 

beverages in the outdoor eating area. A 

modification of premises application may be 

required to expand onto a sidewalk or into a 

parking lot, but only those businesses with 

existing liquor licenses are permitted to expand 

outdoors. Contact the City Clerk for details via 

email at cityclerk@greenwoodvillage.com. 

• For outdoor eating areas located on sidewalks 

adjacent to the building, ensure safe pedestrian 

access is provided between the eating area and 

parking lot wherever possible. 

(Figure 1) 

• For outdoor eating areas extending into the 

parking area directly adjacent to the business, 

ensure adequate distance between the eating area 

and all auto drive aisles. 

(Figure 2) 

• For outdoor eating areas extending into the 

parking area and drive aisles of the parking lot, 

ensure adequate safety for pedestrians and 

customers by providing a barrier separating the 

eating area from the parking lot and auto drive 

aisles. 

(Figure 3) 

• Outdoor eating areas located in parking areas not 

adjacent to the business without proper barriers 

are not permitted. 

(Figure 4) 

• Tents associated with the outdoor eating area are 

permitted, but must be shown on the site plan 

diagram for the permit.

MAKING A difference 

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY 

COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS 

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

Jeffrey Scott, District 1 

Parks, Trails and 

Recreation Commission 

Jeff Scott is a retired lawyer 

who has lived in Greenwood 

Village for 12 years. He recently 

worked for two summers as a 

part-time seasonal maintenance 

worker for the Greenwood 

Village Parks, Trails and 

Recreation Department focusing on the Marjorie 

Perry Preserve, which is near where he lives with his 

wife Gail and dog Ollie. Jeff has developed a certain 

expertise in dealing with weeds, especially 

Verbascum thapsus (Mullein), a Colorado Class C 

noxious weed, which he would like to see eradicated 

from our open spaces. 

Jeff and Gail enjoy walking on the High Line Canal at 

all times of the year and watching the wildlife and 

nature through the seasons. Ollie especially enjoys 

his walks along the canal and encountering the 

numerous dogs, squirrels and waterfowl with whom 

he shares the canal. 

Jeff looks forward to working with the PTR 

Commission to continue the great work of the PTR 

Department in protecting and enhancing the natural 

features of our special community, especially the 

open spaces within Greenwood Village we all enjoy. 

For more information on how to serve on a 

Village board or commission, please call the 

City Clerk’s Office at 303-486-5752 or 

email Susan Ortiz, City Clerk, at 

sortiz@greenwoodvillage.com. 

Jim Sidinger, District 4 

Parks, Trails and Recreation Commission 

Jim Sidinger and his wife Jean have resided in 

Greenwood Village since 2008. A Coloradan for 43 

years, Jim is unofficially a “semi-native.” He is a strong 

believer in contributing to his community through 

active citizen participation. Prior to his appointment to 

the Parks, Trails and Recreation Commission, Jim 

spent eight years on the Greenwood Village Arts and 

Humanities Council, seven as Council chair. 

Raised in semi-rural northern Illinois, and being an avid camper and hiker, he 

especially appreciates the importance of nurturing open spaces, parks, and trails 

for use by urban populations. As an active participant in amateur sports for much 

of his life, he also understands the value of recreation and arts programs like 

those supported here, including those of the Curtis Center. These interests led 

him to seek this position. He looks forward to being a contributing member of 

this Commission, created to develop and support these important city resources. 

Jim is a fine art, landscape photographer who works — non-digitally — with a 

large-format, film camera. He has a traditional, chemical darkroom in his home 

where he develops and processes his film and creates his hand-made traditional 

silver prints. The subject of much of his work is the landscape of Colorado. He 

has received many honors and awards for his photography. One he is especially 

proud of is having been chosen, along with Jean (a painter and writer), to be 

Artist-in-Residence for the National Park Service at the Great Sand Dunes 

National Park & Preserve — a place they revisit multiple times a year. 

He also serves on the boards of the two Homeowner Associations that govern 

the Cottonwood Grove community where he and Jean live. 

Prior to his artistic career, Jim was a software technologist who, after achieving 

his Mathematics/Physics BS and Mathematics MS, started at Bell Telephone 

Laboratories. His last position in this field was as founder and chief technologist 

of his Colorado based software consulting and development company. 

Jim is honored to have been appointed to the PTR Commission. He hopes to 

help Greenwood Village continue to be a leader in the development and support 

of these resources for the benefit all living in our first-rate city.

ARTS & RECREATION news 

NEW ART IN RUNNING FOX PARK 

At their January 6 meeting, the Greenwood Village City Council voted to purchase and install a 

piece of public art in the newly renovated Running Fox Park. The chosen work is “Within Reach” 

by Sedalia, Colorado, artist Laurel Gregory. The process originated with a request from Parks, Trails 

and Recreation Commission member Ellie Moller, to the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities 

Council. The Arts Council then opened a call for artists and received 29 submissions from 18 

Colorado based artists. After forming a selection committee, the GVAHC presented the chosen 

piece to the PTR Commission and then to the City Council for final approval. 

“Within Reach” is constructed of lost wax aluminum casting and depicts a playful fox sitting on a 

perch. The artist says of her work, “My art has 

always represented my vision and spirit. And if my 

current bronze sculpture series is any indication, 

that spirit is a tad whimsical.” This whimsy can be 

seen in “Within Reach.” The artwork was installed 

in May and is ready for you to view in person. 

Funding for this project was provided by the 

Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council, 

through fundraising initiatives.
