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

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

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

SPRING ILLUMINATION<br />
The Parks, Trails, and Recreation Department has a special<br />
evening for you and your family! Registration is now open for<br />
the Spring Illumination Event at Carson Park. This event was<br />
originally planned for December. However, due to COVID-19<br />
restrictions the event was delayed and re-engineered as a Spring<br />
event. Please join us as we illuminate Carson Park while you<br />
enjoy a magical storybook stroll. Register at<br />
greenwoodvillage.com/specialevents and choose your time<br />
slot on <strong>April</strong> 29 through May 1, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. For<br />

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT<br />
In March, Congress passed the COVID-19 Stimulus<br />
Package, also known as the American Rescue Plan Act. This<br />
package will provide relief to state, county and local<br />
governments. It is expected federal aid of nearly $130.2<br />
billion will be distributed across the country based on<br />
population. Although we do not have confirmation, we<br />
anticipate <strong>Greenwood</strong> <strong>Village</strong> will receive approximately<br />
$3.3 million in relief funds. At this time, the guidelines,<br />
regulations and restrictions along with the exact funding<br />
have not been finalized. As these elements are completed,<br />
the City Council will determine how to use these funds. I<br />
will keep you updated.<br />
Hope you enjoy a wonderful Spring!<br />

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

pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorcycle safety,<br />

Department at 303-773-2525. GV<br />

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

to balance the urgent need to contain the virus with the need<br />

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

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

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