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 />

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 />

BUSINESS<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 />

Private Ryan, when army captain, Captain Miller (portrayed<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 />

accomplish the skills needed to move on to live a good and<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 />

RECREATION<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 />
