GOVERNMENT 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. PG. 20 GV NEWSLETTER | JUNE 2020
