VILLAGE BUDGET: CITY COUNCIL CHARTSCOURSE FOR 2013 In November, the City Council adopted abalanced budget for the 2013 fiscal year after avery productive budget workshop with the citymanager and department directors. The 2013Budget includes an Operating Budget of$30,334,364 and the Capital ImprovementProgram (CIP) is $8,577,000. These two

components of the budget continue the traditionalstewardship policies of your city government with no impactto current service delivery provided to residents andbusinesses. The magnitude and quality of the servicesdelivered such as police protection, street maintenance, roadconstruction, snow and ice control, trash, recycling, and largeitem pick up, recreation reimbursement program, and amultitude of other services will remain “status quo” in 2013.

We hope that 2013 will be a growth year with newdevelopment and the opening of several businesses. Our pastprudent actions built a healthy savings account, a 25 percentoperating reserve, the payment of pension obligations on abi-weekly basis and no long-term or short-term debt.

If you have any questions about the 2013 Operating andCapital Improvement Program Budget, please call ShawnCordsen, Finance Director, at 303-486-8290 or [email protected]. A more detailed analysis ofthe 2013 Budget is featured on page 12 of this Newsletter.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE POLICE OFFICERS HONORED One of the reasons people favor Greenwood Village isbecause our Village rates as one of the safest places to live andwork. This rating results from the efforts of our top-notchPolice Department and citizens who work together to makethe Village safe.

In December, the CityCouncil and Irecognized severalpolice officers for theirservice to ourcommunity: OfficersMitch Parks, ScottThompson, JuanVillalva, JeremyWilson, Mark Dean,Cristy Floerchinger,and RodneyValenzuela. Theseofficers made criticaldecisions thatprevented a crime fromoccurring, stopped acrime already in progress, and reduced the chances of citizensbecoming victims.

In addition, I would like to recognize two members of ourcommunity, Jamie Ashworth and Joseph Jones. These twoindividuals were responsible for saving a driver from a carthat ignited on fire as a result of a two-car accident onArapahoe Road and I-25. Luckily, because of theircourageous efforts, the driver was not injured.

We are so fortunate to have such a stellar Police Departmentand citizens who are truly committed to prevent crime andkeep our citizens safe.

ONAL EXPENDITURES

WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM (CITY REVENUES)Village residents have long enjoyed high levels of service, beit the exceptional response to snowstorms by plowing ourstreets to our police response times. The Village is able toprovide this high level of service primarily due to the largebusiness presence in the Village. These businesses payproperty tax, occupational privilege tax, and they remit the

sales and accommodations taxes we all pay when we go outto dinner or buy that new outfit. In total, these taxes equateto a conservative estimate of $29 million in 2013 (at least 88percent of the Village’s total projected operating revenue.)Remember to support your local businesses by patronizingthem whenever possible. The Village’s website,www.greenwoodvillage.com, provides access to a businessdirectory organized by business category. GGVV

GV CHAMBERupdateIT’S HERE — IT’S NEW — IT’S… THE DTC|GREENWOOD VILLAGE BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIONOn January 1, The Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce became theDTC|Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce. So why the name change?

Since its founding in 1950,Greenwood Village has been one ofthe most desirable communitieswithin Colorado to live and work.As our Mayor Ron describes it onthe City website: The Village is adistinct community of families,business leaders, and professionalswho enjoy life to the fullest in a

backdrop of natural beauty, unique residential neighborhoods, and a robust andgrowing small business and corporate environment. Some of the State’s finestbusinesses for service, retail, restaurant, and entertainment call the Village homeand have made a lasting impression on their customers and clients.

The Denver Tech Center, or DTC as it has become known, was established in theearly 1970s and has grown to over 850 acres and has become one of the premierbusiness parks in the country. Kodak was one of the early stakeholders, as well asseveral major cable companies like United Cablevision, United Artists Cable, andAT&T all had their start in and around the Tech Center. If you travel for business,you know that people around the country are aware of the DTC name and itsbrand that is synonymous with high quality businesses, community, and lifestyle.

When you combine the quality of Greenwood Village and The Denver TechCenter, business and residential, you have all of the ingredients that make this awonderful place to live and work. The Chamber is committed to creating aninclusive forum that promotes businesses of all types and sizes, working inharmony with the residential community, state and local governmental agencies,and the surrounding communities. If you live here, work here, or are lucky enoughto do both, we would invite you to take a look at how you might become anengaged part of this great community and learn how you can benefit from all it hasto offer.

Our major events for 2013 are:March 15 — St. Patrick’s Day Party at Slattery’sMarch 21 — The DTC|Landmark Healthcare SymposiumJune 8 — The SummerfestJuly 25 — The Annual Golf TournamentAugust 24 — The Goose ChaseSeptember 19 — The Taste of Greenwood Village

Esprit has served the Village andDenver Metro Area since 1989, accommodatinghomeowners to savor all of the beauty and convenience of ahigh quality main floor master designed ranch home.Having that special home can afford you the opportunity toentertain family and friends, relax and take pleasure in yoursurroundings, and enjoy all of the amenities that match yourlifestyle!

The premier One Cherry Lane gated community offers adesign that brings all of the beauty of the Village into thehome. Their expansive use of doors and windows within eachof the courtyards and patios allows the outside to visuallybecome part of the home. The classic beauty and elegance ofeach home is unsurpassed. The rich, traditional design of theexterior of each ranch and main floor master home includesturret entrances, stately brick or stone and stucco exteriors,and stylish wrought iron accents. The standard home isapproximately 2,800-4,000 square feet of single level livingspace, available in four cherry themed floor plans, including apop-top option. And all streets within One Cherry Lane alsohave a distinctive cherry theme as well.

According to co-owner Scott Shraiberg, One Cherry Lane isthe only newly built gated community within the Village inthe last 10 years. “Ninety-five percent of our currenthomeowners have come from within a seven mile radius ofthe Village,” remarked Scott. “Greenwood Village was aperfect fit for Village based homeowners to “right-size” andaccomplish a lateral move, without sacrificing any amenities!”exclaimed Scott. The Esprit principals are primarily Villageresidents who have had a keen awareness and appreciation ofvibrancy, beauty, and quality of life that living in the Villageoffers. Convenient accessibility to shopping, business centers,recreation areas, Cherry Creek School District, and majortransportation and highways were key factors in selecting theVillage location for One Cherry Lane.

“Our research reflected a need for the “lock and leave”homeowner to continue to enjoy all of the benefits of acustom home, both indoor and outdoor, but without thebrain damage of maintenance and upkeep,” according toScott. Also a 24/7 guarded gate, security, snow shoveling,front yard maintenance, and lawn care, are just a few of theadditional services that are conveniently included in the realestate taxes instead of a separate HOA fee for each home.The network of reliable service providers that Esprit employsalso brings competitive prices and a timely response forremodeling, emergency repairs, and basic maintenance.

“One Cherry Lane” said Scott, “has all of the bells and continued on page 20

TAKEnoteOUTDOOR FIRE PIT SAFETY Outside fire pits may provide warmth and ambiance, butthey also pose dangers if not used correctly. In GreenwoodVillage, both wood burning and gas fire pits are allowed inneighborhoods. However, the Village encourages citizens touse the following safety precautions every time you start a fireon the fire pit.

• Make sure to install your fire pit per the instructions givenin the manual or hire a professional for installation. It

should be at least 15 feet from any structure.• Never use portable fire pits inside. This can lead to carbon

monoxide poisoning. • Place your fire pit on a solid surface and in an open area

avoiding buildings, trees, or overhanging rooflines. • Never allow children to light the fire or use accelerants to

light the fire. Do not allow children to play around thefire pit.

• Keep a considerable distance away from the fire pit. Clearthe area around the fire pit from any combustiblematerials. Dry leaves, paper, dry grass or pine needles cancatch fire easily from the sparks that come out of the firepit. Your garden furniture also should be away from thefire pit as they can be damaged by the fire sparks.

• Check the wind direction before you light the fire. Astrong wind can always make a small fire become aninferno with the addition of wind. If it’s too windy anddry, postpone your recreational fire until weatherconditions improve.

• Always have a fire extinguisher, a garden hose, a bucket ofsand near the fire pit in case a small fire breaks out.

• Make sure the fire is put out properly before you leave.• Use a fire pit screen to protect the sparks from coming out

of the fire pit. • Be aware that neighbors may be sensitive to smoke

because of asthma or other medical conditions. • South Metro Fire Rescue Authority (SMFRA) may be

called by your neighbors because they smell smoke and donot know where it is coming from. Residents are asked tocall SMFRA dispatch center’s non-emergency number at720-258-8911 before you ignite your fire pit.

For more information on outdoor fire pit safety, please callSouth Metro Fire Rescue Authority at 720-488-7200. GGVVOutdoor fire pits can be dangerous.

TAKEnoteWINTER DRIVING TIPSSevere weather can be both frightening and dangerous fordrivers. Drivers should know the safety rules for dealing withwinter road emergencies. Avoid driving while you arefatigued. Getting the proper amount of rest before taking onwinter weather tasks reduces driving risks.

• Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as agarage.

• Make certain your tires are properly inflated. • Keep your gas tank at least half-full to avoid gas line

freeze-up. • If possible, avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy

and snowy weather. • Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery

surface (wet, ice, sand). • Always look and steer where you want to go. • Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle.

Tips for long-distance winter trips: • Watch weather reports prior to a long-distance drive or

before driving in isolated areas. Delay trips whenespecially bad weather is expected. If you must leave, letothers know your route, destination and estimated time ofarrival.

• Always make sure your vehicle is in peak operatingcondition.

• Keep at least half a tank of gasoline in your vehicle at alltimes.

• Take a cellular telephone, blankets, gloves, hats, food,water and any needed medication in your vehicle.

• If you become stranded, stay with your vehicle. It providestemporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locateyou. Do not try to walk in a severe storm. It is easy to losesight of your vehicle in blowing snow and become lost.

• Do not over exert yourself if you try to push or dig yourvehicle out of the snow.

• Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a clothat the top of a rolled up window to signal distress. Atnight, keep the dome light on if possible. It only uses asmall amount of electricity and will make it easier forrescuers to find you.

• Make sure the exhaust pipe is not clogged with snow, iceor mud. A blocked exhaust could cause deadly carbonmonoxide gas to leak into the passenger compartmentwith the engine running.

• Use whatever is available to insulate your body from thecold. This could include floor mats, newspapers or papermaps.

• If possible, run the engine and heater just long enough toremove the chill and to conserve gasoline.

Tips for driving in the snow:• Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly

to accelerate is the best method for regaining traction andavoiding skids. Do not try to get moving in a hurry. Inaddition, take time to slow down for a stoplight.Remember: It takes longer to slow down on icy roads.

• Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snow-coveredroads. Accelerating, stopping, and turning — nothinghappens as quickly as on dry pavement. Give yourselftime to maneuver by driving slowly.

• The normal dry pavement following distance of three tofour seconds should be increased to eight to 10 seconds.This increased margin of safety will provide the longerdistance needed if you have to stop.

• Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes ornot, the best way to stop is threshold breaking. Keep theheel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your footto apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.

• Do not power up hills. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads just starts your wheels spinning. Try to get alittle inertia going before you reach the hill and let thatinertia carry you to the top. As you reach the crest of thehill, reduce your speed and proceed downhill as slowly aspossible.

• Do not stop going up a hill. There is nothing worse thantrying to get moving up a hill on an icy road. Get someinertia going on a flat roadway before you take on the hill.

• Stay home. If you really do not have to go out, do not.Even if you can drive well in the snow, not everyone elsecan. GGVV

parks and recreation districts, metropolitan districts and municipal golf courses) orfor non-profit youth sports agencies.

• Fill the form out completely; do not write “see attached” on the lower part of theform where a list of receipts is called for.

• All receipts must be itemized. Non-itemized receipts, or those reading “POS” (pointof sale) charge without an explanation will not be accepted.
