THE MAYOR’S message 

TOMMY DAVIS 

PARK 

I hope the spring 

weather and the budding 

flowers are brightening 

your day. This month, I 

want to share some 

interesting facts about 

another beautiful park. 

Tommy Davis Park is a 

walk-to park located at 

9200 East Orchard 

Road. The park consists

of 9.29 acres built along 

the west branch of 

Goldsmith Gulch. After 

being annexed in 1987, 

the Huntington Acres HOA donated 

the majority of the park’s land to the 

Village, retaining title to the existing 

pool, tennis court and parking rights 

to half of the pool parking lot. The 

Sundance Valley HOA donated the 

land along the western edge of the 

park. The Village completed the park 

in 1989. The park was originally 

named Huntington Acres Park before 

being renamed in memory of Tommy 

Davis, a Greenwood Village resident 

and Chairman of the Parks, Trails and 

Recreation Commission. 

The park’s amenities include a 

playground, volleyball court, 

basketball court, small informal 

baseball field and a pond. The park’s 

pond has hosted the Village’s Annual 

Fishing Derby for over 25 years. The 

Village developed a park Master Plan 

in 2007. The first phase included a 

pond expansion which was completed 

in 2008. In 2010, the Orchard Road 

pedestrian trail undercrossing was 

completed connecting Tommy Davis 

Park to Orchard Hills Park. An 8-piece 

exercise equipment circuit was updated 

in 2013. The final Master Plan phase 

was completed in 2020 when the 

channel, bridges and connection to 

Caley Avenue were completed.

KNOW THE SOUNDS OF THE LIGHTNING 

DEVICES AT MAJOR VILLAGE PARKS 

During the summer storm season, Village park users and visitors may be exposed to potential 

dangers of a lightning storm while being outside. In efforts to provide a safer environment while 

attending events at Village Greens Park, Curtis Park, Westlands Park, Silo Park, and Tommy 

Davis Park, the Village has installed lightning prediction and warning systems to alert park users 

of the potential for lightning before it strikes. 

The lightning systems in designated Village parks are prediction systems not detector systems. 

These systems measure the shift of the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere and in the 

ground that could create an energy flow that may result in a lightning strike once a conductive 

cloud to ground path is available. The lightning prediction and warning system senses and 

evaluates these shifts and changes in the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of an 

actual lightning strike and activates an audible, as well as, visual warning alerting of the 

dangerous conditions. 

The systems are set to monitor a 2.5 mile radius from its location. When the conditions are ripe 

for lightning at the parks or within the 2.5 mile radius, a continuous audible horn is activated for a period of 15 seconds alerting users of the 

potential for lightning and activating yellow strobes on the roofs of the structures located within the parks. These strobes will stay activated 

throughout the period of potential lightning activity and will shut off only after an all clear signal consisting of three five second audible horn 

blasts. The systems are operational between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week, through the spring and summer months. 

For more information, please call Dustin Huff, Parks Manager, at 303-708-6155. 


GOVERNMENT 

NEW RESIDENTIAL 

TRASH AND 

RECYCLING 

PROVIDER 

Greenwood Village has provided trash 

and recycling services to single-family 

residences since 1996. Republic 

Services has been provider of this 

service for many years, and their 

contract with the Village expires at the 

end of 2021. Village staff requested 

bids from trash companies to continue 

this service beginning in 2022, and 

after an extensive review of the 

proposals, the Village has selected 

Waste Connections of Colorado to 

continue this service beginning January 

1, 2022. Residents will continue to 

enjoy the same levels of service that are 

currently provided by Republic, 

including containers provided by the 

company, every-other-week recycling, 

and the ability to place an unlimited 

number of additional bags out beside 

the containers for collection. 

Q: Why is the Village changing from 

Republic Services? 

A: Republic’s current contract expires 

at the end of 2021. While choosing 

a provider to continue this service, 

the Village’s main goal was to 

continue the service levels that 

residents currently enjoy. 

Unfortunately, Republic is unable 

to continue providing the same 

level of service moving forward. 

Waste Connections, however, can 

continue the current service levels 

and currently provides a similar 

service to the City of Lone Tree. 

The Village also spoke with Lone 

Tree and other communities in the 

metro area that use Waste 

Connections and heard high 

remarks about their service. The 

Village is confident that Waste 

Connections can provide a high 

level of service to Greenwood 

Village residents. 

The Village is thankful to Republic 

Services for their many years of 

excellent service to Greenwood 

Village, and are looking forward to 

continuing this service with our 

new partner, Waste Connections. 

Q: Will I receive new containers? 

A: Yes, Waste Connections will be 

providing all single-family 

residences with one 95-gallon trash 

container, and one 95-gallon 

recycling container free of charge. 

Residents may request one 

additional 95-gallon recycling 

container, free of charge, if one 

container is not enough. Waste 

Connections will be reaching out to 

residents later this year to confirm 

recycling container needs. 

Remember that all containers need 

to be screened from the road when 

not placed at the curb. 

Republic will be collecting all 

Republic-branded containers at the 

end of the year. 

Q: Will my trash day change? 

A: Republic Services currently collects 

trash and recycling in Greenwood 

Village Mondays through 

Thursdays, starting on the west side 

of town. Waste Connections will 

continue to service the Village 

Monday through Thursdays, and 

the Village has requested that 

current pick-up days are 

maintained. If any changes are 

made, they will be minor and 

Waste Connections and the Village 

will communicate the change to the 

affected residents. 

Q: Will recycling collection be the 

same? 

A: Yes, Waste Connections will 

continue to be collected recycling 

every-other-week. This will continue 

to be single-stream recycling (no 

need to sort items), and Waste 

Connections will provide resources 

on what items are recyclable. 

DID YOU KNOW? 

Greenwood Village offers a variety of 

trash and recycling collection services. 

In addition to the weekly household 

trash and recycling service, residents 

can contact the Village to dispose of 

large bulky items, large branches, 

appliances or other household 

electronics, and household hazardous 

waste such as yard chemicals. Please 

visit greenwoodvillage.com or call 

303-708-6100 to learn more. GV

TRAIL ETIQUETTE — MIND YOUR MANNERS 

Just like dining in a fine 

restaurant, there is proper 

etiquette when using area 

trails. Though multi-use 

trail signs may vary in the 

way they look, the rightof-way 

is universal: 

bicyclists yield to 

everyone; pedestrians 

yield to horses 

(equestrians); equestrians 

yield to no-one and 

always have the right-ofway. 

Pedestrians — of course it’s more fun to walk side-by-side to talk with your walking 

buddies than to walk single file, but please be aware that taking up the whole trail 

makes it difficult for bicyclists and equestrians to pass safely. Stay to the right and close 

to your walking partner. 

Equestrians — It is safest to ride single file, but as with pedestrians, many prefer to 

ride side-by-side to talk with friends. Be aware that two horses riding take up a lot of 

trail space, making it difficult for others to pass safely. Trails in the Village are multiuse, 

so you will encounter bicyclists and pedestrians; it is the rider’s responsibility to 

ensure that their horse in under control. Also keep in mind that many people are not 

familiar with horses and do not understand that objects such as bikes and runners 

coming up behind them can scare your horse. Be courteous and notify pedestrians 

when passing. 

Bicyclists — bicyclists yield to both pedestrians and horses. Be courteous to other 

users, and keep right when possible. Verbally alert others when you are approaching to 

pass; call out “on your left” or “on your right” as equestrians and pedestrians may not 

hear you approaching. GV 

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED A HORSE JUMP? 

Here’s why: horses are easily scared. In nature, horses are prey. Horses’ eyes are situated 

on the sides of their heads which causes objects to appear to jump from one side of their 

vision to the other. This can trigger the horse’s instinct to flee. 


GOVERNMENT 

COVID-19 UPDATE 

we’re all in this together! 

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDERS 

TRI-COUNTY MASK ORDER — 

MASKS REQUIRED INDOORS ONLY 

On April 5, the Tri-County Health Department (TCHD) 

amended its face covering order in place for Adams, 

Arapahoe and Douglas counties to remove the requirement 

that face coverings be worn in outdoor public spaces. The 

TCHD order will remain in place until June 30, 2021, 

unless rescinded, amended, or extended. Increasing spread 

of potentially more severe and contagious variant strains 

and changes in individual behaviors are major sources of 

uncertainty at this point in the pandemic. 

The face covering order requires that individuals older than 

10 years old must wear a face covering over their nose and 

mouth when entering or within any public indoor space. In 

addition, parents, custodians, and caregivers are strongly 

encouraged to have their children between two and 10 years 

old wear a face covering, with supervision. 

This order is currently relevant to all parts of Adams, 

Arapahoe, and Douglas counties that did not opt out of the 

order. Face coverings should be worn regardless of COVID- 

19 vaccination status. 

In addition to wearing masks, the spread of the virus can be 

reduced or prevented through social distancing, testing, 

isolation if a person is sick, quarantine if a person has been 

exposed, case investigation, contact tracing, and vaccination. 

For more information visit www.tchd.org/covid. 

GOVERNOR’S NEW ORDER 

EFFECTIVE MAY 2 

The Colorado statewide mask mandate has been 

updated. Masks are no longer required in indoor 

public spaces if 80% of people in attendance 

have provided proof of COVID-19 vaccination or 

by restaurant employees if 85% of staff are fully 

vaccinated against COVID-9. 

For more information or clarification, 

please visit: tchd.org. or 

covid19.colorado.gov/mask-guidance. 

TCHD ADOPTS SIMPLIFIED VERSION 

OF THE STATE COVID DIAL 

The COVID-19 Dial issued by Governor Polis and the 

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment 

(CDPHE) expired, and counties across Colorado issued their 

own guidance for their citizens. On April 8, 2021, the Tri- 

County Health Department’s Board of Health (BOH) 

authorized and directed the Executive Director of Tri-County 

Health Department (TCHD) to issue a Public Health Order 

for a simplified version of the Dial with the goal to continue 

to control and/or slow the spread of COVID-19. 

The TCHD Public Health Order (PHO) is in effect from 

April 16 through May 15. Highlights of the Public Health 

Order include: 

• Phase 1: Moving Toward Full Re-Opening, April 16 - 

May 15 (30 days): Counties will move to a new level on 

the Dial, one Level less restrictive than the level indicated 

by their metrics on April 15. For example, a county at 

Level Yellow metrics on the current state Dial on April 15 

will move to Level Blue on April 16 and remain there 

until May 15. 

• Phase 2: Observation Period, May 16 - August 16 (90 

days): Counties will move to Level Clear, which has no 

restrictions, subject to TCHD observation of hospital 

admission rates in the County. In Level Clear, businesses 

will be able to operate at 100 percent capacity with no 

Mitigation Requirements, although face-covering 

requirements may still apply. 

To enhance personal safety and help reduce levels of 

COVID-19 transmission across our communities, our 

residents should continue to social distance; wear masks in 

public indoor areas; avoid large gatherings or crowds, 


GOVERNMENT 

especially indoors; stay home while they are sick and get 

tested for COVID-19 if they have symptoms; wash their 

hands often; and get vaccinated as soon as possible. 

Phase 1 took effect at 12:01 a.m. on April 16, 2021, and 

expires at 11:59 p.m. on May 15, 2021. The Phase 2 

observational period will continue from May 16 through 

August 15 in order to evaluate the need for any subsequent 

restrictions. During any time of restricted capacity, counties 

may continue participating in the 5-Star program for 

businesses. 

For more information, please visit tchd.org. 

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

Because of the potential introduction and spread of new 

variants of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and 

differences in rates of disease and level of vaccination around 

the world, CDC is providing the following guidance related 

to international travel: 

• Fully vaccinated people can travel internationally without 

getting a COVID-19 test before travel unless it is required 

by the international destination. 

• Fully vaccinated people do not need to self-quarantine 

after returning to the United States, unless required by a 

state or local jurisdiction. 

• Fully vaccinated people must still have a negative 

COVID-19 test result before they board a flight to the 

United States and get a COVID-19 test 3 to 5 days after 

returning from international travel. 

• Fully vaccinated people should continue to take COVID- 

19 precautions while traveling internationally. 

FEMA TO HELP PAY FUNERAL COSTS 

FOR COVID-19-RELATED DEATHS 

The Federal emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will 

began providing financial assistance for funeral expenses 

incurred after Jan. 20, 2020, for deaths related to COVID-19 

to help ease some of the financial stress and 

burden caused by the pandemic. The funeral 

assistance call center is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. 

EDT, Monday through Friday. Applicants can 

call 844-684-6333. There is no deadline to 

apply for assistance since funding is not going to 

run out. 

Once that waiting period has been completed, provided 

below are 14 things you can do safely: 

Outdoor activities you can do without a mask 

• Exercise outdoors alone or with members of your 

household 

• Attend a small, outdoor gathering with fully vaccinated 

family and friends 

• Attend a small, outdoor gathering with fully vaccinated 

and unvaccinated people 

• Dine at an outdoor restaurant with friends from multiple 

households 

Outdoor activity with a mask 

There’s only one outdoor activity listed on the CDC 

guidelines that requires a mask. 

• If you attend a “crowded, outdoor event, like a live 

performance, parade, or sports event” you should be 

masked even if you’re fully vaccinated. 

Indoor Activities ALL Require a Mask 

According to the CDC, the following indoor activities are all 

considered low risk for fully vaccinated people but only if 

you mask up properly. 

Precautions should still be taken as transmission risk in these 

settings is higher and likely increases with the number of 

unvaccinated people present. Thus, fully vaccinated people 

engaging in indoor social activities in public settings should 

continue to wear a well-fitted mask. 

1. Visit a barber or hair salon 

2. Go to an uncrowded, indoor shopping center or museum 

3. Ride public transport with limited occupancy 

4. Go to an indoor movie theater 

5. Attend a full-capacity worship service 

6. Sing in an indoor chorus 

7. Eat at an indoor restaurant or bar 

8. Participate in an indoor, high intensity exercise class 

9. Attend a small, indoor gathering of fully vaccinated and 

unvaccinated people from multiple households GV 

CDC ANNOUNCES NEW 

GUIDELINES FOR FULLY 

VACCINATED PEOPLE 

Are you full vaccinated? According to the CDC, 

you can now get more of your life back. 

Note you are not “fully vaccinated” until two 

weeks after you receive a single-dose of the 

Johnson & Johnson vaccine or the second dose 

of the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines.

THE LETUP EATERY 

The Shops at Greenwood Village • 9696 East Arapahoe Road 

Monday 7 a.m.-3 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday 7 a.m.-9 p.m., 

Closed Sunday • 720-387-7815 • theletup.com 

“Letup” is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as 

follows: to diminish or slow down; slacken; cease; stop or 

to become less severe. Given the fact that the world news is 

incredibly stimulating right now, don’t you think it would 

be nice to “letup” from the 

COVID chaos of 2020 and 

move forward to bigger and 

better things? This was the 

vision of Stephen and Teri 

Culler who opened The 

LetUP Eatery in Greenwood 

Village in April 2021. Their 

desire is for their down-toearth 

establishment to 

provide a state of ease for 

their patrons and lessen their burdens while enabling them 

to take comfort during their dining experience. 

Stephen and Teri moved to Colorado from Las Cruces, 

New Mexico in 2009. Stephen has spent over a decade in 

some of the best kitchens within the Denver area: Colt & 

Gray, The Populist, The Wooden Table, and Lucky Pie 

Denver among others. Stephen has been an Executive 

Chef, Sous Chef, and responsible for hiring staff and 

ordering and maintaining inventory supplies as well. Now, 

Teri has put aside any other career aspirations she may have 

had to help her husband with this incredible adventure. 

When the couple chooses to dine out, Stephen is usually 

craving a breakfast burrito and Teri’s indulgence is a juicy 

cheeseburger. Quite often after partaking in such a meal, 

they expressed their feeling of lethargy and desire to sleep 

the afternoon away. Part of their inspiration for The LetUP 

came from their active lifestyle and their desire to enjoy 

their favorite foods without feeling sluggish and apathetic 

afterwards. 

Thus, they set out on a journey to make their favorite 

foods in a healthier way using high-quality, locally sourced 

ingredients with the best cooking practices available. The 

LetUP purchases all their natural ingredients from many 

small businesses around Colorado. Some of the wonderful 

companies they support include Wisdom’s Natural Poultry, 

Raquelita’s Tortillas, Colorado Berkshire Pork, Lasater 

Grasslands Beef, Isabelle Farms, Kilt Farms, and Fresh Guys. 

If you have not already guessed, their delectable breakfast 

menu includes a wide selection of breakfast burritos as well 

as a Breakfast Sammy and Overnight Steel Cut Oats. The 

appetizing food selections on their current lunch and 

dinner menu range from beginners, which includes fries, 

rings, deviled eggs, and fried pickles, to burgers, wraps and

GENERAL INTEREST 

OUR NATURAL 

environment 

WATCH OUT FOR 

BABY WILDLIFE 

As spring progresses, the chance of encountering newborn 

animals such as baby birds, rabbits and deer in backyards or 

neighborhoods is very common. According to Colorado 

Parks and Wildlife, it’s normal for animals to leave their 

young alone while they go search for food. But encountering 

newborn wildlife can be an awe-inspiring event and can 

trigger emotions causing someone to want to “rescue” what 

they think is an animal in distress. 

If you encounter one of these wildlife babies who appear to 

be unharmed but alone, just observe from a distance and 

keep domestic animals and people away. Chances are quite 

likely the mother will be back shortly. In many cases, 

“rescuing baby wildlife by removing them from the wild is 

unnecessary and reduces their chances of survival. 

DEER 

Newborn animals, like deer, 

are often found without any 

adult animals nearby, leading 

people to believe that the 

newborn has been abandoned. 

That, however, is typically not 

the case. If you find a fawn: 

• Mothers normally leave 

their babies to feed. They 

often return in the late 

afternoon or early dusk. 

• If the baby looks cold, hungry, diseased, or confused, 

or if dogs, other animals, or people threaten its safety, 

call 9-1-1. 

• Otherwise, leave the baby alone and leave the area. 

The mother will not return if people or pets are present. 

SQUIRRELS 

A baby squirrel has the best chance of survival when it is 

cared for by its mother. 

Sometimes healthy young 

squirrels found on the ground 

are not orphans — they simply 

need help being reunited with 

their mothers. Often, mother 

squirrels will “rescue” their 

fallen or displaced healthy 

babies by carrying them by 

the scruff back to the nest. 

RABBITS 

Baby rabbits leave the nest 

when they are three weeks old 

and are about the size of a 

chipmunk. If you find a 

chipmunk-sized but fullyfurred 

rabbit with eyes open, 

ears erect, and the ability to 

hop, they are meant to be on 

their own. As small and helpless as they may look, they are 

not an orphan and do not need your help. 

RACCOONS 

Raccoon mothers must 

leave their babies 

unattended for periods of 

time while they travel 

around to find food. In 

mom raccoon’s absence, 

the youngsters sometimes 

get in trouble (e.g. fall 

out of their nest tree) when they explore outside their nest. 

Another reason the raccoon kits may be alone is their family 

may have been displaced from their nest, and the mom may 

have had to go off exploring for a new den site. And even 

when she does find a new den, she can only carry one baby 

at a time. 

DISTEMPER IN RACCOONS REPORTED 

Raccoons can acquire canine distemper, a viral disease more 

likely to occur when raccoon populations are large or 

concentrated. Wildlife biologists note that it seems to run in 

cycles of 5-7 years. Not all raccoons get the disease and many 

do survive these outbreaks. The disease does not affect 

humans. 

The disease is spread when animals have direct contact with 

body fluids or droppings from an infected animal. Distemper 

is always present in the environment, so the best prevention 

for dogs is to make sure they are vaccinated. Contact your vet 

to make sure your dog’s shots are current. 

Symptoms of distemper may include discharge from the nose 

and eyes, a rough coat of hair, emaciated appearance, and 

unusual behavior such as disorientation or wandering 

aimlessly. The animals’ symptoms become progressively 

worse, and the disease is usually fatal. 

Keep children and pets away from sick raccoons. As the 

disease progresses, the animal may appear calm, but can 


GENERAL INTEREST 

become aggressive if approached too 

closely. 

To Discourage Raccoons: 

• Remove attractants from your yard. 

• Feed pets indoors. If you feed 

outdoors, bring in feeding bowls right 

after pets have eaten. 

• Make sure garbage cans have secure 

lids. Placing a solution of equal parts 

of ammonia and water in your trash 

will deter raccoons. 

• If you have a compost pile with fruit 

and vegetable scraps, make sure 

compost is securely covered in bins 

that raccoons cannot access. 

• Chimneys should have chimney caps 

on to prevent raccoons from accessing 

the interior of your home through the 

fireplace. 

WILDLIFE AND RABIES 

If you are assisting young wildlife, it is 

IMPERATIVE that you protect yourself 

and others from being bitten or 

scratched. Rabies, a deadly virus, is 

common in Colorado and possible 

exposures to the virus (mammal bites and 

scratches) MUST be taken very seriously 

and handled properly. If you are bitten or 

scratched by a wild mammal 

IMMEDIATELY wash the wound 

thoroughly for several minutes with soap 

and running water. Then call a doctor for 

further advice. 

If you, or your dog or cat comes in 

contact and is bitten or scratched by a 

raccoon, skunk, bat, fox or coyote, please 

contact Tri-County Health Department 

at 303-220-9200 and the Greenwood 

Village Code Enforcement/Animal 

Control.

SPRING 

ILLUMINATION 

As the story goes… Jake got lost in 

the backyard of City Hall in Carson 

Park and close to 700 residents went 

looking for him. They checked the 

Art Gallery, The Toy Shop, the Barn 

and even the Flower Shop. Only to 

find Jake had run home. Along the 

path residents enjoyed reading the 

story and admiring the over 20,000 

lights that lit up the park. A short 

dog tale ending nicely.

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
