UPDATE ON GV PROVIDING 

GIGABIT HIGH SPEED 

INTERNET TO RESIDENTS 

Last summer, the City Council Infrastructure Committee, 

comprised of Councilmembers Dave Bullock (chair), Dave 

Kerber, Libby Barnacle, and Judy Hilton began exploring 

options to provide high speed (gigabit) internet 

to residents and businesses in Greenwood 

Village. City Council wanted to understand 

how the increased internet demand brought 

about by changes in how people work, shop, 

and experience entertainment could be 

addressed. I am pleased to report the City 

Council has authorized a comprehensive study 

by industry consultants. 

At the February 7, City Council Study Session, 

staff recommended hiring a consultant to help 

understand the options and expense to provide 

George Lantz 

fiber to the premise internet service. The three 

glantz@ 

greenwoodvillage.com options that will be studied include a service 

303-486-5741 provided by private industry, a public-private 

partnership, or the Village providing the 

service. The study’s results will include network designs and 

the associated cost estimates. We are anticipating the study 

will be completed this summer. 

PROPERTY TAX 101 

Like many of you, I recently received my property tax 

statement from the Arapahoe County Assessor’s Office. I am 

regularly asked who receives the property taxes and what 

services are provided. To help explain those questions, we 

have included a copy of our property tax brochure enclosed 

with this month’s Newsletter. This brochure summarizes a 

Village homeowner’s property tax statement (per $500,000 

value). Your individual property tax statement will vary based 

on the appraised value of your home and the school district 

where your property is located (Littleton Public Schools or 

Cherry Creek Schools). I hope the brochure provides some 

valuable information on your property tax dollars and the 

benefitting taxing entities. You will find it interesting that the 

City of Greenwood Village receives less than 4% of your 

property taxes. 

TRASH CODE REMINDER 

Now that the trash provider transition has been completed, 

please note that the Greenwood Village Code regulates the 

placement and storage of your trash and recycle containers to 

protect the aesthetics of our neighborhoods. 

• Timeframe for Container Placement at Curb 

Trash and recycle containers may be placed at the curb no 

more than one (1) day before a scheduled pickup and 

must be removed from the curb no later than midnight 

following a scheduled pickup. 

• Screening and Storage 

By City Ordinance, trash and recycle containers must be 

stored in such a position on the property as to be

SPRING CLEANING 

Although the temperatures still feel like winter, Spring will 

shortly be here. Warmer temperatures are a great time to 

clean out the garage and discard those household items 

that no longer serve a purpose or collect unwanted dust. 

For your convenience, Village residents are able to use our 

Large Item Pick Up Service. This service is used to dispose 

of many items including homeowner-removed branches 

or brush (Note: The branches must be cut into sections 10 

foot in length or less.) Other items include unwanted 

furniture, mattresses, box springs, hot water heaters and 

rugs. 

The following items are not accepted for large item pickup: 

commercial or contractor generated waste; concrete and 

asphalt; roofing and siding; fences and decks; drywall and 

framing; landscaping materials — including sod, soil, mulch, 

bark, rock and pavers; branches or brush removed by a 

contracted service; or items generated from projects requiring 

a Building Permit. 

All large items pickups must be scheduled with the Public 

Works Department at 303-708-6100 before placing them at 

the curb. Happy Spring cleaning! 

THANK YOU TO OUR 

SNOW REMOVAL CREWS 

If you live or work in Greenwood Village, you can appreciate 

the snow removal activities performed by our crews from 

Public Works, Parks, Trails and Recreation, and Community 

Development on our streets, sidewalks, trail systems, and 

Village facilities prior to, during, and after every snowstorm. 

For many years, our staff has delivered a level of snow 

removal services that makes Greenwood Village one of the 

best cities in which to live and work. 

I extend my appreciation to every staff member who works 

during our snowstorms. Every storm requires staff members 

to become snowplow operators, ATV plow drivers, snow 

throwers and shovelers, and mechanics. When a storm hits, 

our affected employees shift their work schedule to provide 

the Village with around-the-clock coverage.

MAKING A difference 

GVPD ANNOUNCES 

PASSING OF 

K-9 RIGGS 

We are heartbroken to announce the passing 

of Greenwood Village Police K-9 Riggs. K-9 

Riggs a 5-1/2 year old Belgian Malinois, 

passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, 

February 13, 2022, from a cancerous tumor. 

With his police handler, Jeff Mulqueen and 

his family by his side, K-9 Riggs was 

euthanized while chewing on his favorite 

Kong toy. K-9 Riggs was cremated, and his 

ashes were laid to rest at his home next to 

former Greenwood Village Police K-9s, 

Magnum and Max, who were also police 

dogs of Officer Mulqueen. 

Since he joined the police department in 

2018, K-9 Riggs played an instrumental role 

for the Greenwood Village community as his K-9 skills 

helped solve countless narcotic cases. K-9 Riggs was trained 

in patrol work which included searching and apprehending 

suspects; narcotic detection; and participated in numerous 

tactical operations with the department’s Emergency 

Response Team. K-9 Riggs also was known to lend a paw to 

other police agencies when in 

need including the Arapahoe 

County Sheriff’s Office and 

North Metro Drug Task Force 

and the police departments of 

Cherry Hills Village, 

Englewood, Lone Tree, and 

Parker. 

When not working the streets 

or hanging out at home resting 

from his police work, K-9 Riggs 

enjoyed making guest 

appearances at community 

events hosted by the Police 

Department and other K-9 

organizations such as Heroes 

with Paws and Back the Blue 

K-9 Force. 

With the passing of K-9 Riggs, 

the Police Department K-9 

team includes K-9 Miner and handler, Juan Villalva. The 

Police Department and Officer Mulqueen announced they 

will be acquiring a new K-9 dog to add to the department’s 

K-9 team in the future. For more information, please visit 

the Greenwood Village Police Foundation at 

gvpolicefoundation.org. 

Rest in peace K-9 Riggs. We will miss you! GV

building permit is generally required 

for: 

• Any new building, addition, 

alteration, repair, or 

• Exterior site improvements 

If your construction project does not 

comply with building codes, the value 

of your investment could be reduced. 

If you decide to sell a home that has 

modifications without a permit, you 

may be required to tear down the 

addition or conduct costly repairs. 

Your first step is to hire a licensed 

contractor. The property owner is 

responsible for verifying building 

permits have been secured prior to the 

commencement of any work.

OUR NATURAL environment 

SPRING COYOTE BEHAVIOR 

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. 

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. 

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 

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

MAKING A difference 

VILLAGE EFFORTS 

TO BURY POWER 

LINES CONTINUE 

IN 2022 

One of the reasons why people live and 

work in Greenwood Village is due to 

the majestic views and the quality of 

parks, trails and open space areas. The 

burial of power lines, through the 

Village’s Utility Undergrounding 

Program, is a shared investment of the 

entire community which has 

contributed to enhancing and 

preserving these views. 

In 2019, the City Council adopted a revised Utility 

Undergrounding Policy to expedite the undergrounding of 

overhead lines along roadways in residential areas based on 

recommendations of the City Council Infrastructure 

Committee. The committee is comprised of Councilmembers 

Dave Bullock, Dave Kerber, Judith Hilton, and Mayor 

George Lantz. Potential projects are prioritized based on 

factors including, cost savings, safety, the number of homes 

served, and complexity. Additionally, the Policy was modified 

to focus on residential projects within public rights-of-way, 

and to distribute projects equitably throughout the 

neighborhoods. When a project begins, residents could 

expand the scope of work outside the right-of-way at their 

own expense. 

Most of the undergrounding projects are managed through 

the Village’s Utility Undergrounding Program, which is 

funded by Xcel Energy based on its franchise agreement with 

the Village. Xcel Energy allocates one percent (1%) of their 

preceding year’s electric revenues for utility undergrounding. 

These funds are held by Xcel Energy and are not part of the 

Village’s annual budget. 

In addition, utility undergrounding can also be accomplished 

through other funding mechanisms. New development or 

redevelopment projects typically require adjacent overhead 

lines to be buried. Undergrounding projects can also be 

coordinated with Capital Improvement Projects, in 

partnership with adjacent municipalities, or utilities can be 

undergrounded through the formation of a Local 

Improvement Districts (LID) where the Village pays the 

upfront costs and is then reimbursed by residents and 

businesses benefiting from the overhead conversion through a 

property tax assessment. 

To date, approximately 13.5 miles of power lines have been 

undergrounded throughout the Village. Approximately 12.5 

of the 13.5 miles of lines have been funded through the 

Utility Undergrounding Program at an approximate cost of 

$8,900,000. The first undergrounding project was along 

Clarkson Street, Belleview Avenue, and University Boulevard 

in 1993. 

Projects completed since 2019 include: 

• Red Fox Lane west of South Monaco Street; 

• East Garden Avenue west of South Colorado Boulevard; 

• East Berry Avenue east and west of South Monaco Street; 

• South Franklin Street from Franklin Circle to Cherryville 

Road; and 

• Cherryville Road west of South Franklin Street. 

Staff will also be continuing work with Xcel and residents for 

undergrounding in the Cherry Creek Village North 

neighborhood. 

Projects for 2022 include: 

• Willamette east of University Boulevard; 

• Garden Avenue between University Boulevard to Steele 

Street; and 

• Prentice Street, Dorado Avenue, and Powers Avenue 

between Holly Street and Monaco Street. 

For more information, please call Justin Williams, Public 

Works Engineering Manager, at

CHOOK CHARCOAL CHICKEN 

Cherry Hills Marketplace • 2500 East Orchard Road, Suite C • 303-283-8399 

chookchicken.com • Open daily 11 a.m.-8 p.m. 

Are you looking for a quick lunch or an exhilarating evening 

excursion? Want a tasteful, responsible, nutritious, and 

affordable dinner for your family? Whether you dine in and 

savor delicious drinks or take away, Chook Charcoal Chicken 

aspires to provide delicious, responsible food that is easy to 

take home and equally enjoyable in a relaxing and thoughtful 

environment. 

What exactly is “chook” you ask? “Chook” in Aussie lingo 

means chicken. Can anyone say G’Day Mates? Chook 

Charcoal Chicken recently opened their fourth location in 

the Denver metro area right here in Greenwood Village in 

the Cherry Hills Marketplace at 2500 East Orchard Road, 

Suite C. 

Chook Chicken really started with the egg. Founder Adam 

Schlegel is also a co-founder of Snooze Eatery. While living 

in Melbourne, Australia, with his lovely Australian wife and 

two boys, Adam relished the local neighborhood chicken 

shops where chicken was cooked fresh and nutritiously over 

charcoal grills. Adam teamed up with James Beard Awardwinning 

and famed chef Alex Seidel, a force in the world of 

farm to table. Alex has built some of the top restaurants in 

the country and the idea of creating memorable delicious 

food that is affordable by all, something not just for special 

occasions, but for every occasion, was formed. The two 

teamed up with Randy Layman, a famed barman and 

hospitality extraordinaire, to build something great. 

Following a jaunt by the three founders back down to 

Australia in 2018, Chook was “hatched.” 

According to Adam, Greenwood Village was selected because 

“we’ve known and have loved this community for years. It’s 

such a strong community with families, schools, 

neighborhoods, and partnerships. We really believe that what 

we do, serving delicious, thoughtful food in a casual, fun 

environment, fits in well with the community.” 

Chook Chicken’s specialty is its delicious rotisserie chicken 

cooked over their charcoal grill. Their menu boasts whole, 

half, quarter dark or quarter white chicken with your choice

Chook partners with local farms from produce to wine. 

They are committed to purchasing greater than 50% of all 

products from local supplies. Chook also emphasizes wise 

rubbish and does their part to divert from landfill waste by 

composting and recycling. They strive to be a business for 

good, environmentally conscious, and are a certified B Corp 

business whose goal is to provide exquisite food at affordable 

prices. 

According to founder Adam, “Chook in an eggshell is simple. 

We live busy lives. We care about what we eat, what we feed 

our families, and where our food comes from. In the 

multitude of ways one can make a difference, Chook found 

theirs through food, in the great halls to gather, to break 

bread, to honor the past and build for the future.” One 

percent of all their sales goes right back into our community, 

focusing on core issues like health, sustainability, food, and 

education.

the same grill to cook several great veggie dishes including 

grilled mixed vegetables, an unreal delicate squash dish, and 

offer classics done well like Mac and Cheese and mashed 

potatoes. Delicious salads, scrumptious bowls, tasty 

sandwiches, and a yummy kid’s menu are also available. 

Their sweets are all handcrafted by Fudmill Bakery and 

include Lamingtons, Chocolate Chip Chookies and S’mores. 

Also available is a thoughtful array of fine Colorado beers 

and wines from Piemonte, Italy, on tap. You can also get your 

favorite cocktail served in a lively little pot. 

Looking for a family meal to eat in the comfort of your own 

home? Grab some delicious Chook, bring it home, reheat, 

replate, and show it off as your own. No offense taken. They 

will even happily supply Chef Alex’s recommendations for 

reheating Chook. 

What makes Chook so special? Their free-range chickens are 

sourced from Miller Farms, raised with no antibiotics and are 

vegetarian fed with no animal byproducts using non-GMO 

feed. According to Chef Alex, their chicken gets most of its
