THE MAYOR’S message 

ARAPAHOE COUNTY 

APPOINTS ITS FOUNDATIONAL 

BOARD OF HEALTH 

I want to update you on the formation of the new Arapahoe 

County Public Health Department. 

Commencing on January 1, 2023, the new 

Arapahoe County Health Department will be 

responsible for public health services. Until 

that time, Arapahoe County residents will 

continue receiving all public health services 

from Tri-County Health Department 

(TCHD). 

In June, a critical milestone 

was reached as five individuals 

were appointed to the 

Foundational Board of Health 

George Lantz (BOH). The Arapahoe County 

glantz@ 

Board of Health has 

greenwoodvillage.com 

303-486-5741 responsibility for the County’s 

public health department. The 

foundational BOH members will focus on 

ensuring that Arapahoe County Public Health 

is operational by January 1, 2023. 

Following an extensive outreach process and 

consistent with the State Statute, the 

Arapahoe County Commissioners appointed 

five individuals with staggered terms. 

The Commissioners selected: 

Arapahoe County Commissioner 

Nancy Sharpe, Board Chairman 

(term to expire on December 31, 2023) 

Arapahoe County Commissioner 

Nancy Jackson 


Bebe Kleinman 


Dr. Heather Signorelli 


Shawn Davis 


On June 29, the new health board appointed 

Jennifer Ludwig as the new Director. Most 

recently, Ms. Ludwig was the Deputy 

Director of the Tri-County Health 

Department.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE 

DAY IS BACK 

The City Council and I are excited to host Greenwood 

Village Day, July 30 from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m. This special 

event has been canceled the past two years due to the 

pandemic and related uncertainty. Our Parks, Trails and 

Recreation staff has been planning the event for several 

months. The event will include games, music, and a 

magnificent fireworks display as the finale. You will need 

tickets for this Greenwood Village special event. You may get 

tickets for you and your immediate family at

FINAL PHASE 

HUNTINGTON- 

CALEY 

MASTER PLAN 

IMPROVEMENTS 

You may be wondering about 

all of the dirt being moved near 

South Yosemite and Caley. This 

is the final phase of the 

Huntington-Caley park project 

along the Goldsmith Gulch 

corridor. The project began in 

2014 with the creation of a 

master plan, following input 

from the surrounding 

neighbors. The master plan 

includes the pedestrian 

undercrossing of Caley Avenue, 

an extension of the regional trail, 

braided gardens, improvements to the 

pond, stream and wetland restoration, 

and park landscape improvements. 

This final phase will provide sculpted 

berms along Yosemite Street and Fair 

Avenue, a large informal lawn for 

recreation, a natural play area, a 

parking area off Caley Avenue, shade 

structures with swinging benches, and 

more. 

Village employees Henry Sliwinski, 39 

years, and Guy DuCharm, 41 years. 

CELEBRATING OUR 

EMPLOYEES 

I would like to congratulate 

two Village employees who 

celebrated their 30+ year 

work anniversary during the 

second quarter of 2022. 

Their efforts help make 

Greenwood Village a special 

place to live and work. 

Guy DuCharm, Parks, 

Technician II, 41 years 

Henry Sliwinski, Fleet 

Manager, 39 years 

Thank you for your service! 

VILLAGE HERO

GOVERNMENT 

COMPOSTING EVENT 

On a blazing hot day in June nearly 50 people gathered in 

the parking lot behind City Hall to get the breakdown on 

composting. 

Julia Lace, a Greenwood Elementary student now 

transitioning to middle school, gave an engaging talk on the 

importance of composting and how she launched a grassroots 

effort to bring home pickup of compostable kitchen and 

garden waste to Greenwood Village. Julia informed event 

attendees about how composting can reduce waste going into 

landfills, where it produces methane gas harmful to the 

environment, by about 30 percent. She shared with her 

listeners how she first heard about composting from her aunt 

and decided that a weekly composting pickup service would 

be valuable to have in Greenwood Village. Over the next year 

and a half, she went door to door in her neighborhood until 

she had convinced 50 households to sign up for a home 

pickup service. 

Volunteers from Denver Urban Gardens (DUG), and the 

Arapahoe County Colorado Master Gardeners SM , were 

available to answer the many questions attendees had about 

how to begin or improve their composting at home. There 

were also vendors onsite to give information on composting 

related products and services. Wompost (wompostcoop.com) 

and Compost Colorado (compost-colorado.com) are the two 

companies providing service to Greenwood Village. They 

offer home pickup of compostable kitchen and garden waste, 

which is composted and returned to customers to use in their 

gardens. The Greenwood Village Lowe’s was on hand to 

showcase the compost and soil amendments sold at the store 

and guide visitors to products like composting bins that are 

available online. Backyard Boxes showed off their made-toorder 

home composting bins and raised garden beds. 

DUG, www.dug.org, offers learn to compost workshops and 

a master composting training program. The Master Gardener 

volunteers, who plant and tend the Silo Park gardens, provide 

help with home gardening, lawn, and tree care questions. 

They can be contacted via their website, 

https://arapahoe.extension.colostate.edu/colorado-mastergardener/, 

or by phone at 303-730-1920. GV 


GOVERNMENT 

ENSURING A SAFE 

community 

The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protect residents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain a crime-free 

environment requires an active, engaged, and aware community. Remember — the most important single act you can do is to be aware of 

your surroundings at all times and call the Police to report crimes or suspicious activities! As an observer, if the situation doesn’t look or 

feel right, it probably is not. By going with your instincts, your actions could help deter a crime in progress or save your life or the life of a 

neighbor. 

TORNADO 

PREPAREDNESS 

When a tornado is coming, you have a 

short amount of time to make critical 

decisions. Advance planning and quick 

response are the keys to surviving a 

tornado. Greenwood Village does not 

have a tornado siren system. Instead, 

we would utilize the Citizen Alert 

System to notify residents and 

businesses of any impending danger. 

KNOW HOW TO 

SPOT A TORNADO 

• An approaching cloud of debris can 

mark the location of a tornado even 

if a funnel is not visible. 

• Some tornadoes are clearly visible, 

while rain or nearby low-hanging 

clouds obscure others. Occasionally, 

tornadoes develop so rapidly that 

little, if any, advance warning is 

possible. 

• Before a tornado hits, the wind 

may stop and the air may become 

very still. 

• Tornadoes generally occur near the 

trailing edge of a thunderstorm. It 

is not uncommon to see clear, 

sunlit skies behind a tornado. 

• They may strike quickly, with little 

or no warning. 

• They may appear nearly transparent 

until dust and debris are picked up 

or a cloud forms in the funnel. 

• The average tornado moves 

Southwest to Northeast, but 

tornadoes have been known to 

move in any direction. 

• Tornadoes are most frequently 

reported east of the Rocky 

Mountains during spring and 

summer months. 

• Tornadoes are most likely to occur 

between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., but can 

occur at any time. 

WHAT TO DO 

BEFORE A TORNADO 

• Develop a plan for your family and 

your home. 

• Conduct frequent drills. 

• Designate an area in your home as 

a shelter. 

• Discuss difference between 

WATCH and WARNING. 

• Listen to television and radio for 

information. 

• Develop an emergency 

communication plan. 

• In the event family members are 

separated during a storm, have a 

plan for getting back together. Ask 

an out-of-state friend to serve as the 

“family contact.” After a disaster, it 

is often easier to call long distance. 

Make sure everyone in the family 

knows the name, address, and 

phone number of the contact 

person. 

• Have disaster supplies on hand. 

WHAT TO DO 

DURING A TORNADO 

If At Work Or School 

• Go to the basement or to an inside 

hallway at the lowest level. 

• Avoid places with wide-span roofs 

such as auditoriums, cafeterias, 

large hallways, or shopping malls. 


GOVERNMENT 

• Get under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a 

workbench or a heavy table or desk and hold on to it. 

• Use arms to protect head and neck. 

If Outdoors 

• If possible, get inside a building. 

• If shelter is not available or there is no time to get 

indoors, lie in a ditch or low-lying area or crouch near a 

strong building. 

• Be aware of the potential for flooding. 

• Use arms to protect head and neck. 

If In A Vehicle 

• Never try to outdrive a tornado. Tornadoes can change 

direction quickly and can lift up a car or truck and toss 

it through the air. 

• Get out of the vehicle immediately and take shelter in a 

nearby building. 

• If there is no time to get indoors, get out of the vehicle 

and lie in a ditch or low-lying area away from vehicle. 

UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE 

BETWEEN WATCH AND WARNING 

Tornado Watch 

The National Weather Service issues a tornado watch when 

tornadoes are possible in the area. Remain alert for 

approaching storms. This is the time to remind family 

members where the safest places within your home are 

located, listen to the radio and television for further 

developments. 

Tornado Warning 

A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has been 

sighted or indicated by weather radar. This is the time to 

be in the safest places. GV

2022 YOUTH ACADEMY 

The Greenwood Village Police Department hosted the 2022 

Youth Academy. This was the first full class the police 

department hosted since 2019 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. 

During this week-long class, students were taught the behindthe-scene 

look into the everyday life of how the police 

department functions. Students were shown the 911 Center, 

booking area, patrol vehicles, emergency driving, firearms, 

de-escalation techniques, emergency response team, Crisis 

Negotiations Team 

functions, traffic 

enforcement, and DUI 

investigations. The week 

ended with a celebration 

where Deputy Chief 

Dave Oliver presented a 

certificate of completion 

to all students. This year, 

the Police Youth 

Academy was attended by District 2 Councilmember Dave 

Kerber. Congratulations to our graduates.

lamps, pillows, and throws to help personalize your space. 

Lulu’s also carries an impressive collection of gift ideas for 

many occasions. They carry Lafco and Nest candles, books, 

personal care items, Houston Llew Spiritiles, Caddis glasses, 

Blenko glass and just recently added Sid Dickens Memory 

Blocks. 

Knowing where to find the furniture and decorative items is 

only part of the process though, the harder part is knowing 

what you want or what will work well together. The experts 

at lulu’s furniture & decor can help with that too. The 

mother and daughter owners both grew up in the furniture 

business and have over 30 family members that are currently 

or have worked in the industry. This has not only given them 

experience, but connections and the ability to buy from 

hundreds of vendors as well. Lulu’s furniture & decor, 

Christy Vranesic Brant and Caitlin Marsh have been featured 

in numerous publications and are available to help create 

the space you have always wanted or to figure out what that 

may be. 

Lulu’s furniture & decor is open seven days a week. Their 

hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to 

Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. They can be 

found at 5910 South University Boulevard in Suite E, online 

at www.lulusfurniture.com, or on Instagram at #lulusdecor.

Recreation and all the professionals who build 

strong, vibrant and resilient communities 

through the power of parks and recreation.

service of equity, climate-readiness, and 

overall health and well-being.

following activities and events.
