Bond project construction is really coming along with completion of Phase 1 for the Ranch House, Dakota Lodge and Community Center. The staff offices have temporarily moved to the newly renovated Bradford Room (formerly the A/V and map rooms). Residents can now come into the Ranch House through the main entrance. With Phase 2 underway, there will be increased activity at all three sites over the next three months as the projects near completion. 

There will be a Wildland Fire Evacuation Exercise in Ken-Caryl Valley on Saturday, May 21. Emergency vehicles will swarm into Ken-Caryl Valley as citizens are evacuating from a simulated wildfire. The response by fire departments and law enforcement may look real, but it will only be a drill. Those living in Ken-Caryl Valley and the North Ranch will be invited to take part in the voluntary community evacuation drill. The exercise will begin at 8 a.m., and the evacuation will start at 9 a.m. Residents of the area will receive an evacuation notice via telephone. Residents who have signed up for CodeRed will also receive notification via smartphone. If you haven’t signed up for emergency notifications through CodeRed, please sign up at www.your911.net. The drill is meant to simulate a real-life emergency and test evacuation procedures. Additional information will be provided by West Metro and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office prior to the evacuation exercise on May 21.
