WESTLANDS PARK<br />

Greenwood Village has many<br />

wonderful amenities, among the most<br />

cherished is our wonderful park and<br />

trail system. In order to<br />

highlight these parks and<br />

trails, I plan to feature<br />

one monthly in the<br />

Village <strong>Newsletter</strong>.<br />

Westlands is one of the<br />

Village’s favorite parks.<br />

It is located at 5701<br />

S. Quebec Street. The<br />

park’s original land was<br />

an undeveloped parcel<br />

purchased in 1994 and a<br />

George Lantz<br />

glantz@<br />

two-phase development<br />

greenwoodvillage.com plan was approved in<br />

303-486-5741 December 1998. In<br />

2012, the Village<br />

acquired additional land which<br />

included the three ponds that are<br />

located in the park. There have been<br />

several additions in the ensuing years.<br />

These include:<br />

• Conversion of the middle “dolphin”<br />

pond for irrigation water storage –<br />

2014;<br />

• Landscaping and seating wall<br />

improvements around the<br />

playground and water feature –<br />

2015;<br />

• Addition of shade structure over<br />

the large slide – 2015;<br />

• Addition of musical instruments –<br />

2017;<br />

• Conversion of hockey rink to pickle<br />

ball courts – 2020.<br />

The Westlands playground includes<br />

three play areas sized for toddlers to<br />

teens. There are two large climbing<br />

structures which captivate a child as<br />

well as a technical climber. In addition<br />

to the main play area, there are three<br />

multi-use playing fields, interactive<br />

water feature, a hike/bike trail and<br />

three pavilions to host your special<br />

event.<br />

The nearly 28-acre park has been<br />

featured in Landscape Architecture<br />

Magazine, The Denver Post, and was<br />

honored with the “Top of the Rocky<br />

Top Playground,” awarded by the<br />

Rocky Mountain News three years in a<br />

row! Westlands Park was also featured<br />

in 5280 Magazine as the Editor’s<br />

Choice as the Top Playground<br />

destination in the metro area. You may<br />

read more about Westlands Park or<br />

make reservations to use a pavilion by<br />

visiting our website at<br />

greenwoodvillage.com. I hope you will<br />

take the opportunity to enjoy<br />

Westlands Park.<br />

2021 ANNUAL<br />

OPERATING BUDGET<br />

AND CIP APPROVED<br />

The City Council recently adopted<br />

our 2021 Annual Operating Budget<br />

and Capital Improvement Program<br />

(CIP). Due to the pandemic and the<br />

uncertainty of its long-term economic<br />

impact, the City Council adopted a<br />

fiscally conservative budget. Some<br />

special events such as Greenwood<br />

Village Day were not included. City<br />

Council will continue to evaluate our<br />

revenues and make adjustments as<br />

necessary. You should know the<br />

adopted 2021 Annual Budget will not<br />

impact our service delivery related to<br />

safety, trash and recycling, large item<br />

pickup and recreation reimbursement.<br />

You can read more about the 2021<br />

Budget on pages 6-7.<br />

COVID-19 UPDATE<br />

Please continue to follow public health orders<br />

including practicing social distancing, wearing a<br />

mask, and washing your hands. We continue to<br />

work with Arapahoe County to secure assistance for<br />

our businesses. We just completed a third round of<br />

the Greenwood Village CARES grant program. In<br />

2020, Greenwood Village distributed over $6.1<br />

million to small businesses in Greenwood Village.<br />

Currently we are working with Arapahoe County<br />

on the State’s Five Star Program. This program<br />

allows businesses, like restaurants, to operate at<br />

increased occupancy level. A number of business<br />

were inspected and gained Five Star Program<br />

approval in late December. It was rewarding to see<br />

several restaurants begin offering indoor dining on<br />

New Year’s Eve. With the Governor moving<br />

Arapahoe County to “Level Orange” additional<br />

businesses will now be opening.<br />

MAKING A difference<br />

2021 BUDGET<br />

WHAT DOES THE<br />

BUDGET SAY ABOUT<br />

THE VILLAGE’S<br />

FINANCIAL CONDITION?<br />

This past December, City Council<br />

adopted the 2021 Annual Operating<br />

and Capital Improvement Budget.<br />

The primary purpose of the Village’s<br />

budget and budgetary process is to<br />

develop, adopt and implement a<br />

fiscally sound and sustainable plan to<br />

accomplish the established goals of<br />

the upcoming year, while remaining<br />

consistent with the long-term vision<br />

of the community. Despite the<br />

economic challenges presented by the<br />

pandemic, the 2021 budget maintains<br />

the high-quality services residents<br />

expect, provides for reinvestment in<br />

the community’s infrastructure, and<br />

does so without the imposition of<br />

new taxes or the use of debt.<br />

WHERE DOES THE<br />

MONEY COME FROM?<br />

The Village receives revenue from<br />

several sources. Taxes and assessments<br />

represent the largest category,<br />

accounting for more than 80% of all<br />

Village revenue. Other sources<br />

include intergovernmental revenues<br />

comprised of sources which are<br />

collected and shared with the Village<br />

by other governments, as well as<br />

federal, state and/or county grants,<br />

the sale of various licenses and<br />

permits, user charges and fees<br />

intended to offset certain costs,<br />

punitive fines and forfeitures for the<br />

commission of minor crimes, and<br />

lastly, investment earnings and<br />

miscellaneous revenues. For 2021,<br />

the above sources are expected to<br />

WHERE DOES<br />

THE MONEY GO?<br />

The Village’s budget is<br />

composed of an operating<br />

budget, which details<br />

expenditures for the<br />

upcoming year, and a capital<br />

budget, which shows the<br />

financial plans for current<br />

and long-term capital<br />

improvements, facilities, and<br />

equipment. Additionally,<br />

revenue streams collected by<br />

the Village are often<br />

restricted for specific<br />

purposes, as determined by<br />

existing laws and/or<br />

regulations. The table on<br />

Page 6 illustrates how<br />

available resources are<br />

allocated so as to continue<br />

with the services it has come<br />

RESIDENTIAL CODE<br />

ENFORCEMENT<br />

POLICY AMENDED<br />

On <strong>January</strong> 4, City Council updated the<br />

Village’s Code Enforcement Policy for<br />

residential areas in order to alleviate the<br />

need for residents to continuously register<br />

complaints for the same violations.<br />

Typically, in residential areas, nuisance<br />

code violations are only investigated upon<br />

receipt of a complaint. That is, staff does<br />

not proactively patrol residential areas<br />

looking for violations. However, in order to<br />

not require residents to continually<br />

complain about repeat violators, the City<br />

Council adopted a policy allowing staff to<br />

proactively monitor properties for<br />

compliance where two code cases have<br />

been verified for the same or similar<br />

offense within an 18-month period.<br />

The Village’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies planned public infrastructure projects. This list shows the planned<br />

projects for 2021. For updated information and status on these projects, please visit the Capital Projects page on the Village<br />

BUILDING PROJECTS<br />

City Hall Phase 1 Security Upgrades<br />

(District 2)<br />

Project Description: The project<br />

consists of making a series of critical<br />

security upgrades to the public spaces<br />

within City Hall. $150,000 was<br />

budgeted for the most critical security<br />

upgrades in 2020, but due to<br />

COVID-19 impacts these upgrades<br />

were rolled into 2021 in conjunction<br />

with additional necessary security<br />

upgrades for all public spaces within<br />

City Hall.<br />

City Hall Front Entry Plaza<br />

(District 2)<br />

Project Description: The project<br />

consists of replacing deteriorating<br />

front entry plaza pavers and sidewalk<br />

with a more durable and long-term<br />

solution (i.e. concrete), while<br />

simultaneously integrating improved<br />

building/site security upgrades for<br />

City Hall. The plaza and site security<br />

upgrades will maintain and enhance<br />

the building, parking and landscaping<br />

aesthetics, providing a pleasing<br />

pedestrian environment that is lasting<br />

and safe. $25,000 was previously<br />

budgeted for design of the<br />

improvements in 2020, with<br />

construction anticipated for 2021.<br />

STREETS AND<br />

TRANSPORTATION<br />

Belleview Corridor Improvements<br />

EA (District 2)<br />

Project Description: The Belleview<br />

Avenue Corridor Study was finalized<br />

in 2016. The study was completed<br />

through a partnership of the<br />

Transportation Management<br />

Association (TMA), Arapahoe<br />

County, the City and County of<br />

Denver and the City of Greenwood<br />

Village. The study identified a<br />

recommended alternative, however in<br />

order to advance the project, an<br />

Environmental Assessment (EA) must<br />

be completed. The requirements of<br />

an EA are extensive and ultimately<br />

require approval of the Federal<br />

Highway Administration (FHWA).<br />

The cost of an EA is expected to be<br />

$1,500,000 and this is consistent<br />

with the cost of the EA completed for<br />

I-25 Arapahoe Road. Through<br />

discussions among Arapahoe County,<br />

the City and County of Denver, the<br />

City of Greenwood Village and the<br />

TMA, a funding strategy is proposed<br />

at $750,000 from the TMA with<br />

each local agency contributing<br />

$250,000 for the matching half.<br />

Status: Study underway. It is<br />

anticipated that a preferred alternative<br />

will be identified in 2021.<br />

Additionally, funding is required to<br />

complete the NEPA.<br />

Yosemite Overpass Bridge<br />

Rail Replacement<br />

(District 3)<br />

Project Description: A visual<br />

inspection and structural evaluation<br />

of the existing barriers along Yosemite<br />

Street adjacent to the bridge over I-25<br />

indicate portions of the railing are<br />

showing signs of deterioration and are<br />

in need of replacement. Design of the<br />

necessary repairs will be completed in<br />

2021 with repairs scheduled for<br />

2022.<br />

Belleview Avenue and Quebec Street<br />

Intersection Improvements<br />

(District 2)<br />

Project Description: Extend the<br />

existing eastbound right turn lane at<br />

the intersection to prevent the right<br />

turn lane from being blocked by<br />

vehicles queued in the through lane<br />

during peak periods.<br />

Pavement Rehabilitation Program<br />

(City-wide)<br />

Project Description: The project<br />

includes the on-going repair of<br />

asphalt streets throughout the Village.<br />

resurfacing, and rehabilitation of<br />

trails throughout the Village. The<br />

projects included in this program also<br />

typically include drainage<br />

improvements and regrading of areas<br />

adjacent to the trails.<br />

Concrete Replacement Program<br />

(City-wide)<br />

Project Description: The program<br />

provides for the rehabilitation of<br />

concrete facilities throughout the<br />

Village including curb and gutter,<br />

downstream retaining wall, railing and<br />

trail and the addition of a 54” culvert<br />

and necessary modifications in Silo<br />

Park to reduce the potential for<br />

overtopping of Orchard Road. The<br />

schedule is based on anticipated<br />

funding from the Mile High Flood<br />

District, previously UDFCD.<br />

Status: Project to start back up in<br />

2021.<br />

RECREATION<br />

Dayton Well Improvements<br />

(District 3)<br />

Project Description: Project is to<br />

reconstruct Dayton Well distribution<br />

system and bring above ground the<br />

booster pump to eliminate confined<br />

space restrictions. Well was acquired<br />

from the Orchard Hills Subdivision<br />

which was built in the 1960s and is in<br />

need of upgrades to remain reliable<br />

and safe. Irrigation for Dayton<br />

Streetscape and Silo Park is reliant on<br />

this source. It also provides as a<br />

backup irrigation source for Tommy<br />

we’re all in this together!<br />

ARAPAHOE COUNTY FIVE-STAR<br />

RECOVERY PROGRAM<br />

Arapahoe County received approval from the State to begin<br />

the Five-Star Recovery Partner Program. Businesses that are<br />

interested in participating can begin applying online at<br />

arapahoegov.com<br />

The variance means that approved Five-Star businesses will<br />

be able to operate at capacities one level higher than the<br />

County’s position on the statewide COVID dial.<br />

BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED VIA<br />

THE FIVE-STAR PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE TO<br />

OPERATE AT LEVEL ORANGE UNTIL THE COUNTY<br />

HAS MAINTAINED 7 DAYS OF DECREASING<br />

NUMBERS APPROPRIATE TO LEVEL ORANGE.<br />

CERTIFIED BUSINESSES WILL THEN BE ALLOWED<br />

TO OPERATE AT LEVEL YELLOW. WE ENCOURAGE<br />

BUSINESSES TO GO AHEAD AND APPLY FOR THE<br />

PROGRAM AND HAVE THEIR INSPECTION DONE<br />

SO THAT WHEN THE COUNTY’S METRICS DO<br />

IMPROVE AND SUSTAIN, APPROVED<br />

BUSINESSES WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE<br />

AUTOMATICALLY TO THE YELLOW LEVEL.<br />

HOW IT WORKS<br />

The Five-Star Recovery Partner Program is voluntary and<br />

open to all eligible businesses within Arapahoe County.<br />

Businesses are ineligible if they received any previous noncompliance<br />

citations from the Tri-County Health<br />

Department as of Dec. 18, 2020. While all businesses are<br />

eligible to apply, the program will initially prioritize<br />

restaurant, gym, and indoor event applications. There is no<br />

cost for the application.<br />

Businesses must complete the online application stating that<br />

the business is willing and able to meet all the criteria on the<br />

Business Certification Checklist. Please note: Businesses with<br />

multiple locations must certify each location separately.<br />

Accepted participants are not required to re-apply each time<br />

Arapahoe County’s position on the statewide dial moves, but<br />

they must remain in good standing to continue operating at<br />

the higher-level capacity restrictions.<br />

To facilitate the application process, businesses must file a<br />

site-specific implementation and compliance plan with the<br />

County as part of their application, to document how they<br />

will implement these requirements for their specific business<br />

and location; a template for this is available on the Five-Star<br />

website.<br />

To further facilitate certification, businesses should review<br />

the following prior to submitting the online form:<br />

Verify Location: Within the application, businesses will be<br />

asked whether their facility is located within unincorporated<br />

Arapahoe County or in a municipality. Failure to accurately<br />

denote location could delay application routing to the<br />

appropriate entity.<br />

Review Requirements: Consistent with the State of<br />

Colorado program requirements, businesses applying to the<br />

program will need to meet certain General Business<br />

requirements for certification. In addition, there are industryspecific<br />

requirements businesses will need to follow.<br />

Once a business has successfully submitted an application,<br />

the form will be forwarded to the appropriate city or County<br />

entity (depending on business location) for review, and for<br />

scheduling of a live inspection with the owner or manager.<br />

Inspectors are County staff who will visually validate business<br />

compliance with stated program requirements.<br />

Once businesses successfully pass inspection and submit any<br />

additional site-specific plans, they will receive an email<br />

informing them of program acceptance, along with a<br />

certificate to print and display in their window. Businesses<br />

that fail inspection will be able to correct any issues and<br />

reapply.<br />

CDC REDUCES<br />

COVID-19<br />

QUARANTINE<br />

LENGTH<br />

The Center for Disease Control<br />

(CDC) has published additional<br />

options to reduce the length of<br />

quarantine, while still continuing to<br />

recommend a full 14- day quarantine<br />

as the most effective way to reduce<br />

disease spread.<br />

A quarantine could only be<br />

shortened in the following situations:<br />

If exposed people do not develop<br />

symptoms, they may be released from<br />

quarantine after completing day 7 if<br />

they have a negative molecular or<br />

antigen test collected within 48 hours<br />

of ending quarantine. The test should<br />

be collected at least 5 days after their<br />

exposure.<br />

People may stop quarantining after<br />

completing 10 days of quarantine<br />

without a test if they do not develop<br />

any symptoms. Under no<br />

circumstances should the quarantine<br />

end before 7 days have fully passed.<br />

The new quarantine options also advise<br />

people to wait at least five days after<br />

their exposure date before getting<br />

tested, unless symptoms develop.<br />

Testing immediately after exposure isn’t<br />

helpful because it may be too early in<br />

the incubation period, and there isn’t<br />

enough viral material for the test to<br />

detect. Anyone with symptoms should<br />

get tested as soon as possible, stay away<br />

from others, and follow the<br />

instructions on how to isolate. Isolation<br />

is different from quarantining and is<br />

for people who are ill.<br />

Quarantine fact sheet or by visiting the<br />

The TruFit20 workout is scientifically proven and focuses on<br />

one-on-one high intensity training in slow motion. The<br />

workouts last 20 to 30 minutes and are gentle enough that<br />

they can be done in business attire with little to no sweating.<br />

The short 20 to 30-minute workouts once a week allow for<br />

continued improvement by increasing the weight during each<br />

session. This allows for more noticeable results than multiple<br />

workouts during the week of the same length with no weight<br />

increase. The slow deliberate motions used in these workouts<br />

help reduce the risk of injury and wear on your joints<br />

compared to running. This also makes the personalized<br />

workouts great for someone who may have an injury that<br />

would prevent them from participating in other workouts.<br />

TruFit20 also offers various add on services. Some of these<br />

services include Deep Tissue Hot Laser, Ion Cleanse Foot<br />

Bath, Prolon Detox, Nutritional Coaching and Integrative<br />

Health Coaching. There are no membership fees and<br />

payments can be made per session. Depending on what<br />

package is chosen the workouts range from $45 to $60 and<br />

the add on services are anywhere from $20 to $40. TruFit20<br />

is a unique but effective method and they offer everyone<br />

three free sessions to try it out.<br />

TruFit20 is located at 5351 South Roslyn Street, Unit 302 in<br />

the Landmark Medical Center. For more information they<br />

can be reached at 303-790-7662, or they can be found online<br />
