celebrate Greenwood<br />
Village Day. It was<br />
wonderful to see<br />
everyone back<br />

The Council and staff are exploring<br />
the costs and associated implications<br />
of installing fiber optic cable to<br />
support the increased capacity and<br />
higher speeds residents are<br />
requesting. Our goal is to<br />
understand how to improve internet<br />

ARAPAHOE<br />
ENTERTAINMENT<br />
DISTRICT —<br />
MOBILITY STUDY<br />
In December 2019, the City Council<br />
approved a new zoning overlay district<br />
known as the Arapahoe Entertainment<br />
District (AED). This area is located<br />
west of I-25, north of Arapahoe Road,<br />
east of Syracuse Way, and south of<br />
Peakview Avenue. Since the AED’s<br />
inception, a number of new businesses<br />
have been part of the area’s<br />
revitalization program. These<br />
businesses include Pindustry, The<br />
Grange, Shake Shack, and Starbucks.<br />
In an effort to continue improving the<br />
area, City Council engaged a<br />
consultant to conduct a mobility<br />
study. The purpose of the study is to<br />
determine ways to facilitate walkability<br />
and pedestrian safety within the AED<br />
and to/from surrounding areas;<br />
improve convenience and safety as it<br />
relates to first/last-mile users in the<br />
area, and reduce auto/pedestrian<br />
conflicts that exist or may be created<br />
with anticipated future area<br />
development.<br />
The study will also include the area<br />
near the AED; Fiddler’s Green<br />
Amphitheater, the Arapahoe at Village<br />
Center Light Rail Station, and<br />
connected employment centers. The<br />
consultant will identify recommended<br />
improvements to the physical<br />
infrastructure (sidewalks, roads,<br />
lighting, signage). These improvements<br />
will be funded through business<br />
participation and future Capital<br />
Improvement Program projects.<br />
I wish you a continued safe and<br />
fun-filled summer!<br />

spotlight<br />
Is your student easily distracted with the influx of social media or having difficulty<br />
managing stress and the pressures teens feel due to adversity, trauma, or social<br />
media? Could your student benefit from assistance in honing their timemanagement<br />
skills or prioritizing tasks to meet their goals? Today’s teens face<br />
unique challenges unlike ever before. Earn It Youth bridges the gap between<br />
academic success and life skills through executive function coaching.<br />
Earn It Youth offers small group and one-on-one<br />
coaching for six essential skills every teen needs to<br />
master. Executive function and self-regulation<br />
skills are the mental processes that enable us to<br />
plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and<br />
juggle multiple tasks successfully. Mindset<br />
coaching creates a growth mindset instilling a love<br />
of learning and resilience that is essential for great<br />
accomplishment. Goal accountability means you<br />
are 100% committed to completing the tasks<br />
necessary to achieve your goals, even if the tasks<br />
and route changes. Time management skills<br />
include the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between<br />
different activities to work smarter and get more done in less time. Organizational<br />
skills create structure and order, boosting productivity. Integrated resilience skills<br />
help students manage stress and feelings of anxiety and uncertainty.<br />
Earn It Youth was established in April 20<strong>22</strong> by the mother-daughter team of Ann<br />
Moore and Molly Valenta. Ann and Molly are both former Cherry Creek School<br />
District teachers with 24 years combined experience working with students of all<br />
backgrounds and abilities and a passion for impacting student’s lives. According to<br />
Ann and Molly, “Since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, teens have<br />
struggled with underdeveloped executive functions skills. Normal school growth<br />
during middle school and high school was gravely interrupted at a time when<br />
students are learning how to deal with social pressures, increased academic<br />
expectations, and how to navigate responsible independence.” Earn It Youth aims<br />
to help students learn how to set goals, manage their time, and grow into a<br />
successful high school mindset with self-confidence and resilience.<br />
Ann taught English at Cherry Creek High School and served as a dean of students<br />
for five years in the Cherry Creek School District. She developed an intervention<br />
class based on an academically rigorous curriculum, which engaged critical<br />
thinking, reading, and writing skills and empowered students to succeed in life<br />
after high school. This curriculum is now being used in high schools across the<br />
United States.<br />

The name Earn It Youth was inspired by the movie Saving<br />
Private Ryan, when army captain, Captain Miller (portrayed<br />
by Tom Hanks) is dying on the bridge and whispers to<br />
Private Ryan (portrayed by Matt Damon) “earn this.” This<br />
iconic moment exemplifies that just because you have made<br />
it this far, you still must earn it and accomplish it on your<br />
own. Students with the support of their parents and their<br />
school should take responsibility for their own growth and<br />
accomplish the skills needed to move on to live a good and<br />
fulfilled life.<br />

GENERAL INTEREST<br />
OUR NATURAL environment<br />
AVOIDING HUMAN AND PET<br />
CONFLICTS WITH COYOTES<br />
June through November is the time of year when Greenwood<br />
Village sees the most conflicts between coyotes and humans<br />
and pets. Young pups born in the spring and early summer<br />
are leaving their dens and learning to hunt and establish their<br />
territory. Coyotes are most active during the hour before<br />
dawn and the hour after sunset when they are looking for<br />
sources of food.<br />
Coyotes are not dangerous to people, but they can be<br />
dangerous to unsupervised small pets such as cats and dogs.<br />
They will attack small pets in your yard if they are left alone,<br />
especially during their most active hours around dusk and<br />
dawn. If you let your pets out after dark, be sure to supervise<br />
them.<br />
Here are some tips to help you avoid conflicts with coyotes in<br />
your neighborhood:<br />
• Never feed coyotes! Intentionally feeding coyotes is illegal<br />
and this law will be enforced.<br />
• Remove attractants from your yard such as pet food, water<br />
sources, bird feeders, and fallen fruit.<br />
• Secure trash in containers with a locking lid.<br />
• Trim up vegetation to reduce hiding places.<br />
IF YOU ENCOUNTER A COYOTE<br />
The most effective method people can use is hazing to move<br />
the coyote out of the area or discourage undesirable behavior<br />
or activity. Coyotes that have been effectively hazed are much<br />
more likely to develop a fear of humans and move along to a<br />
new habitat.<br />
Recommended Methods Of Hazing:<br />
• Yell and wave your arms — “Go Away Coyote!” —<br />
Stand your ground and face the coyotes. Be as big, mean,<br />
and loud as possible. Shout in a deep, loud, authoritative<br />
voice. Do not turn your back or run away from the<br />
coyote.<br />
• Use Noisemakers — Make yourself loud with whistles, air<br />
horns, bells, soda cans filled with pennies, etc. Greenwood<br />
Village offers air horns to residents to aid in coyote hazing<br />
efforts.<br />
• Use Projectiles — Show your authoritative presence by<br />
exhibiting power with walking sticks, small rocks, cans,<br />
tennis, or rubber balls.<br />
• Use Repellents — Hoses, water guns, or spray bottles<br />
filled with vinegar water, pepper spray, bear spray, or<br />
Citronella spray such as Spray Shield are very effective for<br />
hazing a coyote.<br />
Don’t haze a coyote that appears sick or injured or if you<br />
think you could be near a coyote den where pups could be<br />
present.<br />
WHEN TO CALL THE GREENWOOD<br />
VILLAGE POLICE DEPARTMENT<br />
TO REPORT COYOTE ACTIVITY<br />
Always haze a coyote even if it seems non-confrontational,<br />
and then call the Police Department at 303-773-2525 to<br />
report any sightings or interactions with a coyote. The Police<br />
Department actively keeps a record of coyote activity in the<br />
Village which helps track the coyote population. Call 9-1-1<br />
immediately to report an aggressive coyote.<br />
WHERE CAN I FIND<br />
MORE INFORMATION?<br />
Greenwood Village has a Comprehensive Coyote<br />
Management Plan and informational brochure available on<br />
our <strong>web</strong>site at greenwoodvillage.com/coyotes. You can also<br />
find videos on Living with coyotes from our Animal Control<br />
Officers on the Village’s YouTube channel. <strong>GV</strong><br />

REIMBURSEMENT<br />
TIPS!<br />
Have you enjoyed being out on the<br />
golf course this summer or watching<br />
your kids participate in swimming,<br />
sports, and other fun activities? Is your<br />
desk cluttered with receipts that you<br />
are saving for reimbursement? Well<br />
now is a great time to submit those<br />
receipts before everyone gets caught up<br />
in the craziness of back to school!<br />
Here are some tips to understand what<br />
agencies are reimbursable, how to<br />
submit your request, and how much<br />
you will get back when you submit<br />
your form.<br />
HOW DO I KNOW<br />
WHAT ACTIVITIES<br />
CAN BE REIMBURSED?<br />
• We reimburse for two types of<br />
entities:<br />
1. Public recreation agencies<br />
include municipal parks and<br />
recreation districts, metropolitan<br />
districts that offer recreation,<br />
and municipal golf courses.<br />
Please note that not all courses<br />
that are open to the public are<br />
municipal courses.<br />
2. Nonprofit youth sports<br />
agencies. If you are unsure<br />
whether your child’s youth<br />
sports organization is a<br />
nonprofit, give us a call and we<br />
can look it up.<br />
• Agencies must be located within<br />
the Denver Regional Council of<br />
Governments (DRCOG) region<br />
(Roughly the Denver metro area<br />
from Longmont to Castle Rock).<br />
WHAT DO I NEED<br />
TO SUBMIT?<br />
• A completed form (you will find<br />
one in the middle of this<br />
<strong>Newsletter</strong>) with a phone number<br />
where we can reach you with any<br />
questions. If you live in an<br />
apartment or townhouse, be sure to<br />
include your unit number.<br />
• An itemized receipt showing the<br />
activity, the amount paid, and the<br />
date paid must be submitted for<br />
each activity.<br />
• Tip! Please do not use a highlighter<br />
on your receipts.<br />
WHAT WILL I GET BACK?<br />
• The maximum reimbursement per<br />
household is $500 in a calendar<br />
year.<br />
• You will get back 1/2 of the cost of<br />
the activity up to a maximum of<br />
$50 per activity. That means for<br />
receipts of $100 or less, you will get<br />
back 1/2; for receipts of more than<br />
$100, you will get back $50. We<br />
reimburse on the total cost of the<br />
activity. If you are taking advantage<br />
of a payment plan offered by the<br />
agency, we do not reimburse on<br />
those individual payments.<br />
• For annual dues only (12 months<br />
dues paid in advance) at a<br />
qualifying facility — you will<br />
receive 1/2 of what you paid up to<br />
a maximum of $500.<br />
