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 

George Lantz

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.

During the storm, we set up an operation center to keep up 

with the rapidly changing conditions. Many crews work 

double shifts to keep our roadways clear. 

I am pleased to report the staff kept the major roadways and 

main arterials open throughout the storm and the day after the 

storm they were cleaning up the neighborhoods.

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. 

The Colorado COVID-19 dial is a tool that allows Colorado 

to balance the urgent need to contain the virus with the need 

for localized guidance during the pandemic. Learn more 

about the dial.

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.,

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.
