SILO PARK

This month, I want to share some

information on Silo Park which is located

at 9300 East Orchard Road. The land

around Silo Park was homesteaded in

1891 by Frank William Pearce and

Francisza Weinmeyer Pearce. The Pearce

family, who owned land southwest of

Orchard Road and Dayton Street,

expanded their grazing lands north into

Orchard Hills and east as far as Havana

Street. Frank’s grandson, Robert Frank

Pearce, inherited the land in 1944. The

land south of Orchard Road between

Dayton and Boston Streets is now Silo

Park. The original barn burned down in 1947.

Fortunately, the concrete silo was saved. The current

barn, now a picnic shelter, was built in 1949.

equipment was replaced in 2018. Currently, Silo Park hosts

programs like the Village’s Fun-In-The-Sun and Art-In-The-

Park.

In January of 1994, the park land was being sold to a

developer for houses. A neighborhood group worked with

the City Council to acquire the property. Silo Park was

developed and opened in June of 1996. The Village retained

the original barn and silo while clearing the old farm house.

The barn now serves as a shelter which can accommodate

groups as large as 50. Adjacent to the barn are restrooms

with running water. The surrounding park land includes a

playground, demonstration gardens, a small amphitheater,

one multi-use playing field, and a natural area with a trail

which has been posted with interpretive wetland

information. This informative wetland information was

created by Greenwood Village resident Nick Greos as an

Eagle Scout project in 2003. The park’s original playground

Note, there is a community meeting scheduled in September

to discuss Silo Park’s demonstration gardens. You can learn

more about this event on page 12 of this Newsletter.

CONCERTS IN AUGUST

We hope to see you and your family at the neighborhood

concerts taking place every Thursday evening in August.

Each of the four Council districts will host a concert to make

it convenient for you to attend by simply walking or riding

your bike to the park. Every household should have received

a mailer with concert information. You can find specific

concert information on page 9. The City Council and I look

forward to seeing you and your family at a concert in your

neighborhood.

VILLAGE HEROES

Congratulations to Village resident Dawn Richard and her

dog, Nacho, for being named Village Heroes. While walking

her dog in the Village, Dawn noticed a suspicious vehicle

which turned out to be occupied and stolen. The Police

apprehended the suspects and they have been charged.

BALLOT QUESTION

APPROVED FOR

NOVEMBER 2, 2021

MUNICIPAL

ELECTION

VOTERS WILL DETERMINE

ORDINANCE PUBLICATION

REQUIREMENTS

At the July 12, City Council meeting,

the City Council unanimously

approved a resolution submitting to a

vote of the registered electors of the

Village a question whether the City of

Greenwood Village Home Rule

Charter should be amended to delete

the requirement that ordinances be

published in a newspaper and allow

City Council to establish publication

requirements by ordinance, which may

include electronic publication.

WHAT IS RESOLUTION NO. 18

The Village’s home rule charter

requires that ordinances adopted on

first reading be published in full by the

next publication date of the City’s

“legal newspaper.” The Colorado

General Assembly, as well as other

home-rule municipalities, have made

changes to requirements of publication

by newspaper given that legal

information can be provided to the

public in a more timely and costeffective

manner electronically. The

City Council desires to have the

option of publishing ordinances by

means other than a newspaper so a

Charter revision is required. If passed,

the amendment will allow City

Council the ability to determine by

ordinance how ordinances are

published.

BALLOT QUESTION:

Shall Section 6.04, Procedure of

Passage, of the City of Greenwood

Village Home Rule Charter be

amended to delete the reference to

legal newspaper and allow City

Council to establish publication

requirements by ordinance, which may

include electronic publication?

Yes

No

IF PASSED, THE CHARTER

AMENDMENT WOULD READ

AS FOLLOWS:

An ordinance may be introduced as a

bill at any regular meeting by any

member of Council, or by petition of

the people as provided by this Charter.

Upon introduction, the title of the bill

shall be read by a member of Council.

A full copy of the bill shall be available

in Council chambers at the time of

the meeting at which the bill is

introduced and first voted upon by the

Council. If the bill is approved by

Council, it shall be published in full

by the next publication date of the

City’s legal newspaper as provided for

by ordinance of the Council. A bill,

before its final passage, shall be

presented and voted upon at one

additional meeting of the Council.

This meeting shall be held no earlier

than ten days after initial approval of

the bill except in case of emergency as

provided in Section 6.05. After final

passage, every ordinance shall again be

published by reference or in full as

determined by the Council. Any

amendment to the ordinance shall be

published in full. Except as otherwise

provided in this Article or specified in

the ordinance, all ordinances shall take

effect six (6) days after publication

following final passage. Any

publication by reference shall contain

a summary of the subject matter of the

ordinance and a notice that copies of

the ordinance are available at the office

of the City Clerk.

WHAT WOULD PASSAGE

ALLOW THE VILLAGE TO DO

THAT IT CANNOT DO NOW?

Publish ordinances electronically.

WHAT IF IT DOESN’T PASS?

Ordinances adopted on first reading

will continue to be published in a

local newspaper and not

electronically.

Election, please call the City Clerk’s

HUNTINGTON CALEY OPEN SPACE

MASTER PLAN IMPROVEMENTS

You are invited to a public information meeting to review the 90% design for

proposed improvements for the final phase of the Huntington Caley Master Plan.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 24 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the

Greenwood Village Maintenance Facility (10001 E. Costilla Avenue).

The Huntington Caley Master Plan was adopted by the City Council in 2014.

Previously completed master plan improvements include the pedestrian

undercrossing of Caley Avenue, extension of the regional trail, braided gardens,

Caley Pond improvements, stream and wetland restoration, and park landscape

enhancement. The current project being presented will include a small parking area

off Caley Avenue, sculpted and landscaped berms around the open space perimeter,

an informal lawn, and a play area.

SILO PARK GARDEN

COMMUNITY INPUT MEETING

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14

The Parks, Trails and Recreation Department is inviting the

community to bring ideas and give input on the future look

and purpose of the Silo Park gardens. Please join us on

Tuesday, September 14 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the Silo Park

barn, 9300 South Orchard Road.

The property that was to become Silo Park was acquired by

the Village in 1994. An involved citizen process guided the

design of the park. One of the features was a demonstration

garden that originally showcased primarily native grasses

along with some traditional crops such as wheat, barley, corn,

and pumpkins.

The content of the garden has evolved through the years, and

approximately 10 years ago, the Arapahoe County CSU

Extension Colorado Master Gardener volunteers took over

the planning, planting, and maintenance of the gardens.

Under their care, the gardens have become largely dedicated

to produce production. The vegetables harvested yearly are

donated to a local food pantry in Greenwood Village. While

a worthy cause, it has changed the aesthetics of the gardens

and the Master Gardeners volunteers at Silo Park have

requested a perimeter fence. The gardens were originally

ground level and were raised over time to protect them from

pedestrian traffic. The beds are now deteriorating due to age

and in need of updating to improve functionality and

aesthetics.

If you are unable to attend the community input meeting,

you can provide your ideas online at

greenwoodvillagevoices.com. For more information or

questions, please contact Suzanne Moore, Director of Parks,

Trails, and Recreation, at 303-708-6142 or

COVID-19 UPDATE

we’re all in this together!

TRI-COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

RECOMMENDS WEARING A MASK

UNTIL VACCINATIONS INCREASE

AND CASES GO DOWN

HIGHLY INFECTIOUS DELTA VARIANT

SPREADING QUICKLY AMONG UNVACCINATED

With the highly spreadable Delta variant surging across the Metro

Denver area and vaccination coverage increasing slowly, Tri-County

Health Department endorses the new guidance from the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention about wearing facemasks. Specifically,

TCHD recommends that all persons wear masks

in school settings regardless of vaccination status

and, as long as we have rising rates of community

transmission, that everyone including fully

vaccinated persons wear a mask in public indoor

settings.

CDC’s change in guidance is based on surges in

infection due to the Delta variant in many parts of

the US, evolving understanding of vaccinated

person’s ability to transmit Delta infection, and

slowing rates of vaccination. CDC’s

recommendation for universal mask wearing in

school settings is consistent with recent

recommendations by the American Academy of

Pediatrics and is based on the goal of keeping

schools as safe as possible while maximizing inperson

learning. Wearing masks in indoor settings

is an evidence-based, safe and effective way to

prevent the spread of COVID-19, and mask

wearing in schools is particularly important

because there are so many interactions in schools

between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, and

because children under 12 are not yet eligible to

receive COVID-19 vaccines. TCHD has been

working with our school districts to achieve

optimal in person learning and prevent

transmission of COVID-19 and will continue to

do so to help them understand how best to apply

this new guidance. Like much of the guidance

released by the CDC, CDPHE, and TCHD, for

the 2021-22 school year, at this point, universal

masking should be understood not as a

requirement but as a strong science-based

recommendation.

Currently, similar to the rest of the Metro area, all

three TCHD counties are in the CDC’s

“Substantial” zone of transmission with 7 day

incidence rates/100,000 persons >50, so the new

CDC guidance recommending that all persons,

vaccinated or not, wear masks in indoor settings

applies here.

The Delta variant spreads about twice as easily

from one person to another as previous strains of

the virus. As of Thursday, July 29, for Adams

County, the 7-day incidence rate per 100,000 for

COVID-19 cases was 76 per 100,000. This

represents an increase of 172% since June 26.

Arapahoe has an incidence rate of 70 per 100,000,


GOVERNMENT

an increase of 142% and Douglas

County has an incidence rate of 71 per

100,000 which is an increase of 163%,

respectively, over the same period.

Wearing masks during times of rising

community transmission provides added

protection to the individual wearing the

mask since, even though highly effective,

vaccines are not 100% protective. In

addition, masks can reduce transmission

to others, particularly those who have

not been vaccinated for COVID-19

such as children under 12, or persons

who don’t have a fully protective

response to vaccination.

All three COVID-19 vaccines

authorized in the United States protect

against severe illness, hospitalization,

and death from the Delta variant.

Although rare, some vaccinated people

can get Delta in a breakthrough

infection and may be contagious;

however, vaccinated individuals

represent a very small amount of

transmission occurring around the

country. TCHD continues to urge

unvaccinated individuals to take the

opportunity to get vaccinated as soon as

possible. GV AUGUST 2021 | GV NEWSLETTER PG. 15

Mark founded his own financial planning company in 1983 called

M.J. Smith & Associates. After moving around the Denver area, he finally

located his company within the boundaries of Greenwood Village. “I love

the easy access to world class office space environments and the various

retail and shopping areas located within the Village. It is centrally located

to our clients who are dispersed between Boulder and Colorado Springs.

It also pleases me that it is convenient for my clients who may easily park

directly outside our office building with a quick walk inside,” Mark states.

A year ago, he sold M.J. Smith & Associates to Mercer Advisors. After

speaking with many national firms, Mark chose Mercer Advisors because

they had additional services above and beyond what he had been able to

office approach to wealth management. Their office provides the following

services to their clientele: investments, retirement planning, tax planning,

estate planning, and risk management/insurance.

as Y2K, the 911 calamity, the dot com bubble of 2000-2002, the real estate

crisis of 2008-2009, and COVID. Many investors folded because they

panicked during times of stress. The firm has embodied stability and utilizes

a quality-focused portfolio that is meant to endure over a lifetime.

operates nationally with 45+ locations. They offer a full breadth of financial

planning and investment services to their clients. Mercer has multiple

GENERAL INTEREST

OUR NATURAL environment

COYOTE ENCOUNTERS

WITH PETS ON THE RISE

YOUNG COYOTES ARE OUT

OF THE DEN AND HUNTING

Wildlife experts indicate that most coyote and human

conflicts have been a direct result of human behavior such as

feeding coyotes, walking a dog without a leash, or leaving

food or water outside for your pets. Although these behaviors

may seem innocent, they are actually harmful to you and

your family, and to the health and safety of the coyote

population.

The Village has seen an increase in coyote-pet/human

encounters. Village residents are requested to do everything

possible to protect pets and themselves. Encounters involving

physical contact with people are rare, but people have been

bitten by coyotes. A common tactic for coyotes is to “play”

with dogs. Make no mistake, they are trying to lure dogs

away to attack them.

DO NOT FEED COYOTES

The feeding of coyotes by humans is one of the most harmful

actions man can inflict on coyotes and wild animal

populations. It is essential to minimize human/coyote

conflict as well as the health and well-being of coyotes to not

be fed by humans. Coyotes used to being fed become

habituated to human-provided food and alter their foraging

and hunting behavior. The feeding of coyotes encourages

them to remain in residential areas, increasing their

encounters with pets and humans.

What You Can Do:

• Never feed coyotes! Intentionally feeding coyotes is

illegal and these laws will be enforced.

• Keep pet food and water inside.

• Discourage others from feeding coyotes.

• Do not touch young coyotes. A coyote that appears

orphaned most often is not; the mother is usually nearby.

• Teach children not to feed, play with, or pet coyotes.

• Do not give coyotes the opportunity to get into your

garbage; keep garbage in sealed containers with secure lids.

• Remove attractants from your yard such as pet food, water

sources, bird feeders and fallen fruit.

• Fully enclose gardens and compost piles.

KEEP YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH

As coyotes adapt to their surroundings, they have discovered

that humans provide a sufficient source for food, water, and

shelter. Coyotes will feed on whatever is available to them,

including your household pets. While some attacks on pets

have been known to occur in backyards, many coyote-pet

interactions occur when a household pet is allowed to roam

free.

What You Can Do:

• Keep pets on a six-foot leash when walking at all times.

It is illegal to have your dog off a leash and the law will

be enforced.

• Never allow your pets to “play” with a coyote.

• Pick up small pets if confronted by a coyote.

• Always supervise your pet when outside, especially at

dawn and dusk.

• Never leave cats or dogs outside after dark.

• If you must leave your pet outside, secure it in a fully

enclosed kennel.

• Keep your pets up-to-date on vaccinations.

REPORT COYOTE

BEHAVIOR AND ACTIVITY

Please call the Greenwood Village Police Department at

303-773-2525 with information on coyote sightings. The

Police Department is actively keeping a record of coyote

activity in the Village which will assist the Village in tracking

the coyote population. GV

IF A COYOTE APPROACHES YOU

Be as Big, Mean, and Loud as possible

• Wave your arms and throw objects at the coyote

• Shout in a deep, loud and authoritative voice

• DO NOT RUN or turn your back on the coyote

• Face the coyote and back away slowly

• If attacked, fight back with your fists and feet
