The Sheridan City Council will be considering a contract with Republic Services to
provide trash collection services for all single-family houses and multifamily buildings
of seven units or less in the City. The contract was to come before the City Council for
consideration in late February or early March. Please check the City website at www.
sheridan.co.us for meeting notices and agenda information.
Republic Services currently serves a large number of Sheridan residents and has
operations throughout Colorado and the US. They have over 20 years experience in
municipal solid waste and trash collection services, and currently provide contracted
residential collection services to local governments that include Greenwood Village,
Edgewater, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, Beacon Point Metro District and The Farm
at Arapahoe HOA.
The City Council has identified
several benefits it hopes to accom-
plish for Sheridan citizens through
this service, including:
- Lower collection rates for
our residents, accomplished
through competitive bidding,
contract requirements and
collection efficiencies.
- Stable collection rates for our residents through contracted price controls.

Sheridan Sidewalk,
Curb Improvements Underway
With an eye toward improving Sheridan public safety and convenience, the city has
started work on improvements that include curb, gutter and sidewalks in a portion of
Sheridan through a federal grant.
Sheridan Publics Works Director Randy Mourning said Sheridan was awarded
a federal Community Development Block Grant through Arapahoe County to install
curb, gutter and sidewalk along Lowell Boulevard on the east side of the road from
King Street south to 3500 Lowell Boulevard and from Kenyon Avenue to Milan Street.
The grant amount was $120,395. After conducting a competitive bid process,
Fasick Concrete, Inc. was awarded the bid.
Mourning said the project was anticipated to begin the week of Feb. 22 and was
scheduled to be completed in about 33 days.

Trash Service, continued from front page
- Fewer trash trucks in our residential neighborhoods. A
single vendor will collect trash one day per week in each
neighborhood, thus eliminating multiple trucks from sev-
eral companies collecting trash throughout the week.
- Multiple container options for residents, including recy-
cling and optional yard waste containers.
- Cleaner neighborhood appearance through standardized
waste containers and a single collection day per neighbor-
hood.
Roll-out of the new collection program is anticipated to take
2-3 months, after contract approval. All residential property own-
ers will be contacted by Republic Services via mail with details
of the program roll-out and information on how to get signed up
for service.
The City and Republic Services will also be hosting 2 to 3
public information open houses prior to roll-out to answer ques-
tions and assist citizens with registration. Notices of these infor-
mational open house meetings will be mailed to citizens, as well
as posted on the Citys website. All trash collection billing will be
conducted directly by Republic, and the City will not realize any
revenue from the service. Questions may be sent to City Manager

Marshall, continued from page 2
The 2014 Sheridan Celebrates parade, themed to feature the
25th anniversary, encourages entries to pay tribute to their favor-
ite films and movie characters on Saturday, September 27.
The Sheridan Celebrates the Silver Screen parade will fol-
low along a similar route as in 2013. Due to the Northgate School
construction, 2014 parade staging will take place in an area on
the Fort Logan Mental Health Center Campus, just a few blocks
south of last years staging area. The parade will proceed north on
Lowell Blvd. to Milan Ave. then continue east to Federal Blvd.,
progress south on Federal to Oxford Ave., then west on Oxford
to the Sheridan High School parking lot at 3201 W. Oxford Ave.
The parade judging and announcing stand will remain on
the southwest corner of Federal and Oxford near the Sheridan
Celebrates Festival main stage. A member of the Colorado
Clowns, a participant in the 2013 parade, expressed appreciation
for the parade route saying, Neighbors would just come out of
their houses and watch the parade go by. How nice was that!
Mayor and Sheridan Celebrates Committee Chair, Dallas Hall,
commented, Due to many positive responses such as the one
from Colorado Clowns, the Committee worked diligently to
maintain a very similar parade route this year.
Parade entries are now being accepted. Are you a Star Wars
action fan or maybe more the Disney princess romantic type?
Whether your favorite movie is from the 50s, 80s or the 21st
century, this is your chance to shine and show off your talent.
Parade entry forms are now available and you and your family
and friends can enter for only $10. All entry fees are returned to
the community through parade prize awards.
Parade prize awards will be given in 3 categories: floats,
walking groups (including equestrian) and vehicular entries
(including bicycles). The utmost consideration will be given to
entries interpretation of the theme: Sheridan Celebrates the
Silver Screen. Awards will be announced at the festival around 2
p.m. Download your parade application by clicking the Sheridan
Celebrates tab on the left-hand column of the Citys web site,

heard in the ongoing budget negotiations at the state level. State rev-
enues have improved, said Clough, and the eight districts are asking
that the formula acknowledge the needs of all eight districts, all of
which serve high percentages of students with challenges, in particu-
lar poverty and homelessness.
A high percentage of students in all eight districts are also English
Language Learners. The projected $220,000 that would come to
Sheridan under current projections would cover only mandatory
increases in the retirement plan (PERA) and possible health care
premiums, said Clough, and provide no additional options. The dis-
trict has absorbed a nearly 16 percent reduction in revenues since the
recession began in 2008 and joined the Opportunity Coalition to speak
up on behalf of high-need student populations.

The Sheridan School District Board of Education has
agreed to appeal the districts accreditation rating under the
states accountability system.
The state accountability system generated a rating of
Accredited with Priority Improvement Plan for Sheridan
School District 2. Superintendent Michael Clough said
the rating is based on state calculations that dont give
Sheridan school district credit for students currently attend-
ing college-level classes at Arapahoe Community College,
through the 21st Century Program. As a result, he said, the
published graduation rate for Sheridan is artificially low -
and misleading.
The goal of the accreditation system is to produce
accurate information for the community about the effec-
tiveness of our school system on behalf of all students,
said Superintendent Clough. In fact, we have encouraged
these students to succeed at a high level and to pursue col-
lege work. We believe that the system should acknowledge
that these students have met our basic high school diploma
requirements and they have done just that. The teach-
ers and school administrators in Sheridan should be very
proud of the fact the districts graduation rate is well above
the state average, not below, and the accreditation calcula-
tions in the case of Sheridan School District 2 need to be
adjusted to reflect reality and to provide a clear picture of
performance to all stakeholders.
Clough said Sheridan School District 2 has joined and
is leading the Opportunity Coalition, a group of eight
school districts from around the state that is asking to be

If youve had the good fortune to spend time on Bear Creek this
winter, you may have noticed that even in the cold, the creek and its
banks offer a rich and dynamic landscape for all kinds of wildlife.
While the birds, beaver and other hearty creatures make use of the
natural areas near the creek, people continue to make good use of the
trail and parks for walking, biking and playing.
You may also have noticed people taking water samples in Bear
Creek this winter.
Who wants to take water samples in the winter? The Lower Bear
Creek Steering Committee does. Why? Because clean water is impor-
tant in all seasons!
For a year and a half, Groundwork Denver, citizens, environmental
health professionals, Sheridan staff and others (collectively known as
the Lower Bear Creek Steering Committee) have diligently worked on
a watershed plan for Lower Bear Creek. Lower Bear Creek is loosely
defined as the stretch of Bear Creek between Kipling Parkway and the
confluence with the South Platte River in Sheridan.
Lower Bear Creek was listed on Colorados polluted waters list
because of high levels of E. coli in the creek. E. coli is a bacterium
found in the digestive tracts of warm blooded animals. Its presence in
Bear Creek poses a potential health risk for anyone who plays in con-
taminated water and ingests the water.
This section of the creek also receives water from storm drains
and off of impervious surfaces such as roads and sidewalks. Pollutants
including oil, trash, grease, pesticides, and fertilizers can be washed off
of lawns and streets during storms.
Approximately 35 square miles of land surrounding Lower Bear
Creek drains into storm sewers and then into the creek. With so
many sources of pollution to the creek, the Lower Bear Creek
Steering Committee implemented water quality sampling, collected
and reviewed water quality data, gathered community feedback and are
now creating a watershed plan based on the Environmental Protection
Agencys 9 Elements.
The 9 Elements include: identifying causes of impairment, estimat-
ing load reductions from management measures, estimating techni-
cal and financial assistance needed, and an education component to
increase knowledge about clean urban water. The first draft of the
watershed plan will be complete in March.
Groundwork Denver, the non-profit organization coordinating the
watershed planning process, will ask community members in Sheridan,
Denver and Lakewood to offer feedback in April.
If youd like to learn more about Lower Bear Creek,
or sign up to help with water sampling or other great
stewardship projects, please contact Rachel Hansgen at
Groundwork Denver: Rachel@GroundworkDenver.org or
303-455-5600. Please visit www.GroundworkDenver.org
