INCREASING CRIME AND
PENDING LEGISLATION
Recently, our Chief of Police brought to the
City Council and my attention a significant
increase in crime. The Chief and every law
enforcement agency in Arapahoe and Douglas
County correlated this increase to jail
restrictions put in place to reduce the spread of
COVID-19 in the jails. Since the restrictions
were imposed, Greenwood Village has seen:
• 96% Increase in Robberies
• 23% Increase in Thefts
• 34% Increase in Burglaries
• 157% Increase in Auto Thefts

The City Council and I recently sent letters to
greenwoodvillage.com
303-486-5741 our state legislative representatives expressing
concerns over two bills currently under
consideration. The first, Senate Bill 21-62, will make
permanent the temporary COVID-19 jail restrictions by
prohibiting custodial arrest for crimes listed above as well as
for kidnapping, assault with serious injury, and sexual
assault.
Our Chief of Police Dustin Varney, who has 30 years of law
enforcement training and experience, has stated, “If Senate
Bill SB21-062 passes, there is a strong possibility that law
enforcement will have significant issues preventing or
reducing the rise in crime that we are seeing metro wide,
putting the future of public safety in question.” Law
Enforcement agencies throughout the Denver Metro area
have not only seen similar increases in crime since the jail
restrictions were put in place but have also seen subjects’
actions being more egregious as it became known they would
not face arrest. Along with the City Council’s letter, Chief
Varney and every law enforcement agency in Arapahoe and
Douglas County sent a letter opposing the bill. This letter
accompanied the letters from Police Chiefs and Sheriffs
across the state.
The second bill of concern, Senate Bill 21-182, limits school
disciplinary options. This bill will prohibit schools from
contacting the police for harassment, theft, menacing, assault,
or possession of weapons, drugs or alcohol on school grounds
or at school activities. If the police are called by a parent of a
student who was victimized by another student on school
grounds or at a school activity the police will be unable to act
unless the student was severely injured or sexually assaulted.
The intent of the bill is to keep students from entering the
criminal justice system, but removing consequences for
criminal behavior in the school environment can lead to an
unsafe learning environment for the students, staff, and
community.

MARCH 2021 BLIZZARD
During winter storms I am always pleased and proud to
return to the Village’s boundary where I know the streets will
be clear. The recent blizzard was no exception. City Council
and I would like to extend our appreciation to the
departments and employees of Public Works; Parks, Trails and
Recreation; Police; and Community Development for their
efficient, professional, and quality response to the blizzard.
You may be unaware how much planning and preparation go
into a big snow event. In the days ahead of a storm planning
meetings are held, hotel rooms are reserved for the street and
trail crews, and food purchased so it may be prepared and
crews fed at our Maintenance Facility. The crews inspect and
repair the equipment to be utilized during a storm. Our staff
is outfitted with cold-weather personal protective equipment,
including snowsuits, jackets, snow boots, snow goggles,
insulated gloves, hand warmers, hearing protection, and twoway
radios and cell phones.
As the event draws near, staff is mobilized and the snow
removal equipment is loaded with sand or other material.

SPRING ILLUMINATION
The Parks, Trails, and Recreation Department has a special
evening for you and your family! Registration is now open for
the Spring Illumination Event at Carson Park. This event was
originally planned for December. However, due to COVID-19
restrictions the event was delayed and re-engineered as a Spring
event. Please join us as we illuminate Carson Park while you
enjoy a magical storybook stroll. Register at
greenwoodvillage.com/specialevents and choose your time
slot on April 29 through May 1, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. For
more information, please call Parks, Trails, and Recreation
at 303-486-5773 or email ptr@greenwoodvillage.com.
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
In March, Congress passed the COVID-19 Stimulus
Package, also known as the American Rescue Plan Act. This
package will provide relief to state, county and local
governments. It is expected federal aid of nearly $130.2
billion will be distributed across the country based on
population. Although we do not have confirmation, we
anticipate Greenwood Village will receive approximately
$3.3 million in relief funds. At this time, the guidelines,
regulations and restrictions along with the exact funding
have not been finalized. As these elements are completed,
the City Council will determine how to use these funds. I
will keep you updated.
Hope you enjoy a wonderful Spring!

BICYCLE SAFETY
AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE
Before you take to the road with your
bicycle, it’s imperative to know and
practice all the fundamentals of riding a
bicycle. Did you know bicyclists are
subject to the same rules, laws and
regulations as motor vehicles? Ignoring
rules of the road that regulate passing,
riding abreast, use of hand signals, stop
signs, and other etiquette will determine
your fate on the roadway. If all else fails,
always adhere to the lug nut rule: he who
has the most lug nuts wins. In other
words, a car will always win over a
bicycle. So ride carefully and cautiously
to avoid a costly mistake and a crash
course in bicycling.
• Always ride on the RIGHT.
Remember to “go with the traffic
flow.” Never ride against traffic. Cars
will not be expecting to find a biker
when they round a corner or go over a
hill.
• Ride single file. When passing other
bikers or pedestrians, let them know
your position by shouting something
like, “On your left!”
• When riding two abreast, do not
impede the movement of traffic. If you
are on a road with lanes, you must ride
within a single lane.
• Always check behind you when
changing lanes.
• Watch out for dangerous things on the
roadways or on trails. Road litter,
puddles of water, loose gravel, and
storm gates can cause you to lose
BICYCLISTS MUST OBEY AT ALL
TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES
JUST LIKE MOTOR VEHICLES.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE TRAFFIC
LIGHT IS RED, THEY MUST OBEY
THE TRAFFIC LAW AND STOP.
control of your bicycle.
• Stop at all stop signs and traffic lights.
Be extra careful at crossroads. Walk
your bicycle across busy intersections.
• Always signal before making a left or
right turn. To make a left turn, look
behind you, hold your left arm straight
out and proceed carefully. For a right
turn, hold your left arm out and up in
an “L” shape.
• Keep control of your bike. Do not
swerve or make sudden turns. Drivers
may not be able to react fast enough to
avoid colliding with you.
• Ride at least three feet away from
parked cars. Someone could open his or
her door unexpectedly.
• Listen for cars approaching from the
side or behind you.
• Do not follow cars too closely (you may
be in their blind spot).
• Know your road signs and obey them.
A smart bicyclist follows the rules of the
road.
• Always be prepared to stop. Keep your
hands on or close to the brakes.
• Do not forget to wear your helmet!
And do not wear headphones; you will
not be able to hear what is going on
around you.
For more information on driver,
pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorcycle safety,
please call the Greenwood Village Police
Department at 303-773-2525. GV

COVID-19 UPDATE
we’re all in this together!
ARAPAHOE COUNTY/
GREENWOOD VILLAGE
MOVES TO LESS-RESTRICTIVE
LEVEL BLUE ON THE
STATE’S COVID-19 DIAL
On Sunday, March 14, 2021, Arapahoe County/Greenwood
Village was moved to Level Blue on the State’s COVID-19
Dial after meeting the required public health metrics. This
meant that all County/Greenwood Village businesses can
operate at higher capacities, and/or with fewer restrictions, on
the state’s dashboard dial. The move included increased levels
of patrons at restaurants; gyms; group sports and camps; and
outdoor events and entertainment; restaurants and indoor
and outdoor events, including religious services.
STATE UPDATES
PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER
Effective March 7, Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment (CDPHE) released an amended public
health order that include:
• A new disease incidence metric buffer allows counties to
exceed their Dial level’s disease incidence metric and
remain in that level as long as they do not exceed the
minimum of the next more restrictive Dial level’s
incidence rate by more than 15% for five consecutive
days. This creates more predictability with Dial moves and
prevents counties moving back and forth unnecessarily by
ensuring a consistent trend is present first.
• Restaurants and seated indoor events (including at
casinos) in Level Blue may expand capacity to 225 people
without using the distancing space calculator.
• Restaurants and seated indoor events (including at
casinos) in Level Yellow may expand capacity to 150
people without using the distancing space calculator.
• Seated indoor events in Level Red may calculate
distancing without using the distancing space calculator.
• Last call to order alcohol at restaurants has been expanded
from levels Blue to Red:
– Level Blue: 2 a.m.
– Level Yellow: 1 a.m.
– Level Orange: 12 a.m.
– Level Red: 10 p.m.
• Masks may be removed in a school classroom setting for
the purpose of playing a musical instrument that cannot
otherwise be played while wearing a mask, but students
must continue to physically distance. Performers with
masks can be 12 feet away and without masks 25 feet —
and instrument players with bell covers could be 12 feet
apart and without 25.
• Performers at events who are wearing masks may be a
minimum of 12 feet away from spectators. Performers not
wearing masks must remain a minimum of 25 feet away.
• 5 Star-certified businesses in Level Blue may expand
capacity limits by 50 people above the Level Blue caps.

to balance the urgent need to contain the virus with the need
for localized guidance during the pandemic. Learn more

COLORADO’S COVID-19
DIAL 3.0 RELEASED
As more Coloradans are eligible to get vaccinated and choose
to do so, the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) released the latest update to the
State’s COVID1-9 Dial framework: Dial 3.0 The updated
dial public health order was effective on March 24, 2021 and
will remain in effect until mid-April, at which point the state
plans to retire the dial and implement a new public health
order that gives greater control over capacity restrictions to
local public health agencies.
The dial framework, originally implemented on September
15, 2020, standardizes the levels of openness or restrictions
on a county level, based on the metrics of disease
transmission, the level of local testing, and hospitalizations.
It is a tool that allows Colorado to tailor its response on a
county level, recognizing that conditions will vary locally.
Dial 3.0 makes it easier for counties to move into Level
Green: Protect Our Neighbors, the least restrictive level on
the dial. It also removes many of the restrictions that
currently apply at that level. Additionally, several restrictions
in Level Blue are loosened in Dial 3.0.
The main changes in the Dial 3.0:
• The metrics for Level Green: Protect Our Neighbors have
changed. These changes make it easier for counties to
achieve Protect Our Neighbors status. Now, counties
qualify for Protect Our Neighbors if they have up to 35
COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people — up from 15
cases.
• There is no longer a certification process for Level Green:
Protect Our Neighbors. Counties will be moved into
Level Green once they maintain the appropriate metrics
for at least one week.
• Most restrictions in Level Green: Protect Our Neighbors
are now removed. Bars and indoor events must still adhere
to a 50% capacity limit or a 500-person cap, whichever is
fewer.
• The metrics range for Level Blue is now 36-100 COVID-
19 cases per 100,000 people.
• Bars can now open under Level Blue. The capacity limit is
25% capacity or 75 people, whichever is fewer.
• Outdoor events in Levels Green and Blue no longer have
state-level capacity restrictions under the dial. Counties
may choose to implement capacity restrictions on outdoor
events at the local level.
• Retail, offices, and non-critical manufacturing in Level
Blue may now open to 75% capacity, up from 50%.
• There is no longer a state limit on personal gathering
sizes. The state will follow CDC’s guidance on personal
gatherings. The CDC still strongly recommends avoiding
larger gatherings and crowds to prevent the spread of
COVID-19.
• 5 Star restaurants and gyms in Levels Blue and Yellow may
operate at 100% capacity with 6 feet of distance between
parties as a way to provide businesses with increased
flexibility, while still limiting indoor mass gatherings. The
state expects that maintaining a 6 foot distancing
requirement will be a limiting factor for most indoor
spaces.
• 5 Star certified seated and unseated indoor events may
operate at 50% capacity with a 500-person limit in Level
Blue. 5 Star seated indoor events in Level Yellow may
operate at 50% capacity with a 225 person limit and
unseated indoor events in Level Yellow may operate at
50% capacity with a 175 person limit.

SKY NAILS AND SPA
9555 East Arapahoe Road, Suite #7 • 303-649-2272
Monday 9 a.m.-7 p.m., Wednesday-Friday 9 a.m.-7 p.m.,
Saturday 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Closed Tuesday
Everyone deserves to pamper themselves from time to time
especially after the events, or lack thereof, over the past
year. There is no better place to do that than Sky Nails &
Spa in the Arapahoe Center shops near the northeast
corner of Arapahoe Road and Boston Street. If you are
looking for a friendly atmosphere where you can have your
nails cared for, look no further than this quaint nail salon.
Sky Nails & Spa opened in Greenwood Village on January
1, 2015, and has been serving the community for over six
years. They chose Greenwood Village for their business
location because it is a major point of connection in the
area and it allows the business to be reachable for many
who live, work or travel through the community. With a
location just off I-25, it is convenient for more than just
locals.
Sky Nails & Spa offers a service that allows customers to
express themselves freely both inside and outside the salon
setting. They offer acrylic nails, dipping powder, waxing,
gel nails, manicures, and pedicures. The experts at Sky
Nails & Spa pay attention to new trends while maintaining
a high standard of quality in a welcoming environment.
In these days where everyone is focused on constant hand
washing and what we are touching, now is the perfect time
to give your hands a little attention. With all the added
attention given to our hands, why not make yours stand
out a little, try something new or combine your signature
style with your nails. The constant hand washing, and
sanitizing can also dry out and damage your hands. Giving
them a little extra attention can help to reduce that damage
and discomfort.
The benefits of treating yourself with a trip to Sky Nails &
Spa aren’t limited to just making your nails look better
either. Proper nail care can help with nail health and may
even reduce stress. A little change can have a great impact
and taking a little time for self-care can help make these
uncertain times a little easier. A simple manicure or new
color may be a small change, but it could also be just the
thing to brighten your day. The experts at Sky Nails & Spa
are taking all the necessary safety precautions for the
welfare of their staff and clients.
Sky Nails & Spa is located at 9555 East Arapahoe Road,
Suite #7 and is open Monday 9 a.m. through 7 p.m.,
closed Tuesday, and opens again Wednesday through
Friday 9 a.m. through 7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. through
6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. Sky Nails &
Spa can be found on Facebook and Instagram at
SkyNailsandSpa or can be contacted by phone at

ARTS AND RECREATION
CALLING GREENWOOD VILLAGE ARTISTS FOR STUDIO TOUR
In 2014, a group of artists located in rural Greenwood
Village joined forces to begin what is now known as the
Women of Steele Studio Tour. These women had been
surprised to learn that between them they had four active art
studios within a few hundred yards of each other. The
circumstances were ideal for an event that would celebrate
these artists’ work and workspaces. Thus began their annual
tradition of opening their art studios to the public for a day.
Now in its sixth year, the studio tour has become a muchanticipated
event with golf cart rides on dirt roads and guest
artists. Today that tradition has grown to encompass more
neighborhoods and more artists.
The City of Greenwood Village’s Cultural Arts Program is
seeking artists residing in Greenwood Village to participate
in the Greenwood Village Studio Tour on Saturday and
Sunday, September 11 and 12, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Accepted
artists will have the choice of opening their home/studio to
the public as part of the tour or to show their work at “Art
on the Green,” an art festival setting that will take place in
Curtis Park on the same dates.
Interested artists must meet the following criteria. Artwork
must be original and completed within the last five years.
Work done by a production studio or mass-produced items
are not acceptable. All work must be designed and executed
by the accepted artist. All work exhibited must be of the
quality, category, and body of work of that has been
presented. Artwork produced with commercially acquired
casts, molds, prefabricated forms, studio volume production
or other commercial methods will not be permitted.
Accepted media categories include: ceramics, digital art,
drawing, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media, painting,
photography, printmaking, sculpture and wood.
If you are interested in participating in the studio tour or the
Art on the Green art fair, please contact Chris Stevens at
303-708-6110 or cstevens@greenwoodvillage.com.
Deadline to reserve your space is Friday, May 21.
