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 />
providing the community<br />
with the services it has come<br />
to expect.<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 />

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 />
Trail Rehabilitation Program<br />
(City-wide)<br />
Project Description: The project<br />
provides for the structural repairs,<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 />
cross pans, and on-street drainage<br />
structures. Also included in the<br />
program funding are concrete<br />
improvements to address ADA<br />
requirements and funding to respond<br />
to isolated concrete repair requests.<br />
Pavement Preservation Program<br />
(City-wide)<br />
Project Description: The program<br />
provides for the ongoing preservation<br />
of asphalt streets throughout the<br />
Village.<br />

PG. 8 <strong>GV</strong> NEWSLETTER | JANUARY 2021
GOVERNMENT<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 />

sections are maintained by an existing<br />
HOA and Koelbel Library. However,<br />
the remaining sections do not have<br />
irrigation and consist of a low quality<br />
vegetation. This project would consist<br />

near the Maplewood Avenue entrance<br />
was replaced with a longer bridge. It is<br />
proposed that the removed bridge<br />
from this location be relocated to<br />
Carson Park as it wider at eight feet<br />
and in great condition. Additionally it<br />
would match the bridge to the west<br />
near Quebec Street.<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 />
