ARAPAHOE COUNTYSHAREBACK FUNDSHELP THE VILLAGE The preservation and enhancement of open space, parks, andour trail system is and has been an important component of

quality of life in Greenwood Village. ThisVillage amenity denotes reasons why peoplelive, work and visit our community.

Thanks to the voter approved countywidesales and use tax that was passed inNovember 2003 and renewed in 2011,Greenwood Village and other cities ofArapahoe County received $11 million ofopen space shareback funds in June topreserve open space, enhance parks, andbuild trail connections in our respectivecommunities. Because funds are distributedbased on population, this year the Villagereceived $255,375. Shareback funds are usedto fund park, trail, and open space projects

and land acquisitions. Only 10 percent of shareback fundsmay be used on maintenance projects. Since the program’sinception in 2004, we have received $2,176,510 which hasbeen used to purchase four acres of land adjacent to theMarjorie Perry Nature Preserve and to help fund theimprovements at Village Greens North Park and otheradditional improvements.

In addition to shareback funds, 12 percent of the annual taxrevenue is set aside for competitive grants. These grants areawarded to municipalities and special districts through avigorous grant review process for park, trail or open spacerelated projects or acquisitions. This year, Arapahoe Countyawarded nearly $2 million in grants for 16 open space, park

and trail projects. Recipients are required to raise dollars oftheir own to use as a funding match. Greenwood Villagereceived a Planning Grant for the development of a MasterPlan for the Huntington-Caley Corridor, which includes 15acres of open space and vacant land east of Yosemite Street atCaley Avenue. You can read more about the Huntington-Caley Corridor Master Plan on page 12.

CITYcouncil

As you know, Greenwood Village Day is a very special eventbecause of the amazing fireworks display that serves as theevent’s finale. Over the past few years due to the economicdownturn, we have been nevertheless fortunate to continueto host the fireworks display because of generouscontributions from our business community and privatedonors. Without their partnership monies the fireworkswould not have happened.

This year, the City Council approved funding for a fireworksdisplay at Greenwood Village Day. However, due to theExecutive Order by Governor Hickenlooper and the OpenBurning Ban instituted by Arapahoe County, our fireworksdisplay is canceled. As the event draws nearer, we will waitto see if the fireworks ban is lifted, and decide whether tohost the fireworks. Please watch for updates on fireworks onGVTV 8, our website and Facebook.

Even without fireworks, Greenwood Village Day will beanother fantastic event and we hope you and your familywill join us.

I-25 AND ORCHARDINTERCHANGESIGNALS Greenwood Village has been indiscussions with the ColoradoDepartment of Transportation(CDOT) to integrate 11 of CDOTtraffic signals within GreenwoodVillage into the Village’s traffic signalsystem. This would be done in aneffort to reduce travel time, minimizedelay, and improve response timewhen these traffic signals malfunction.The traffic signals included in thediscussion are along Belleview Avenuefrom Holly Street to I-25, on OrchardRoad at I-25, and along ArapahoeRoad from I-25 to Dayton Street.

City Council directed staff to pursue aphased approach of integrating theCDOT traffic signals into the Village’straffic signal system because ofadditional capital and maintenancecosts that would be required for theVillage to take over the 11 trafficsignals.

For 2012, the two signals at Orchardand I-25 will be incorporated into theVillage’s traffic signal system. After weimplement changes and adjust thesignal timing, staff will monitor thislocation and report back to the CityCouncil on the outcome of thetransition. We anticipate theremainder of the traffic signals will beintegrated in 2013 and 2014.

ROCKY MOUNTAINBRASSWORKS AT CURTIS PARK I had the honor of introducing theRocky Mountain Brassworks concertat Curtis Park in June. More than 120

GVPD OFFICERSIMPROVE THEIRDRIVING ONTHE TRACK POLICE OFFICER SAVES RIDER’S LIFE DUE TO SWIFT ACTIONS Every year more police officers arekilled or injured on duty from trafficaccidents than from any other policeactivity. These numbers can be greatlyreduced through regular and propertraining.

The Greenwood Village PoliceDepartment requires every policeofficer to complete nine hours ofdriving training on an annual basis.The training consists of classroomlecture on topics related to local andstate laws and regulations and drivingtechniques on a closed track. Policeofficers practice turns, backing at lowand high speeds, lane changes,steering, braking, and pursuit andemergency driving.

POLICE DRIVINGTRAINING PROGRAMPAYS OFF In May 2012, the GVPD OfficerDriver Training Program paid offwhen Officer Jason DiManna wasinvolved in a traffic stop on I-25 nearArapahoe Road. Officer DiMannaassisted a motorcyclist who was

trapped against the center median dueto his motorcycle breakdown. Whilewaiting for a tow truck, the riderdeclined to wait in the patrol car soOfficer DiManna requested the riderto stand 10 to15 feet in front of hismotorcycle. This would give the ridermore clearance and reaction time toavoid being injured if another vehiclecrashed into the patrol car and therider.

While Officer DiManna was in hispatrol car completing the report, henoticed a black SUV in his rear-viewmirror approaching at full speed. Atthe very last minute, the SUV swervedaround the patrol car to the next laneleaving the car driven by a womanbehind the SUV to slam its brakes andattempt to stop. Officer DiMannathen noticed another car behind thewoman driven by a male driver withhis head down appearing to be textingon his cell phone. The male driver

looked up and tried to stop butcrashed into the woman’s vehicle. Themomentum of the crash sent thewoman’s car into the patrol car at afast pace.

Officer DiManna immediately realizedthe motorcyclist could be struck aswell so due to training and quickthinking, he decided to press on hisbrakes and turn the steering wheel tothe right so when he was hit by thewoman’s car, he could avoid hittingthe rider.

The outcome of the accident causednon-life threatening injuries to thefemale driver and Officer DiManna.The distracted male driver was takento jail for not having a driver’s licenseand the motorcycle rider remainedunharmed.

SPOTLIGHT ON GVAHC MEMBER When Bert Buckman arrivedon the scene with theGreenwood Village Arts andHumanities Council inJanuary 2011, she broughtwith her a lifetime of artknowledge. Bert has been adocent at the Denver ArtMuseum for more than 43years, and if you have aquestion about art, she hasthe answer. She also broughtexpertise on working withnon-profits, and serves on theboards of the Denver YoungArtist Orchestra and Young Audiences. She is proud that her daughter Elizabeth wonthe first scholarship from the GVAHC in the discipline of architecture. Elizabeth nowworks for the US Forest Service as the architect for the Western Division.

Bert’s love for art began as a child, and was the impetus for earning a degree in art andteaching. Over the years, Bert has taught art in Denver and Illinois schools, and since1980 has been a substitute teacher in the Denver area. This energetic lady is a musiclover, takes in concerts, operas, plays tennis, strides through morning four-mile walkson the Highline Canal trails, has time for sketching and satisfies an insatiable appetitefor reading every book that crosses her desk .

She offers her opinion on public art. ”The purpose of public art in Greenwood Villageshould be to reach out to citizens, make them react, and more importantly, interactwith the art they encounter.” Bert Buckman is a woman of our times with energy,knowledge, and passion, who is dedicated to serving her community. GreenwoodVillage is fortunate to have Bert Buckman share her passions with us.
