Mr. Imhoff stated that the large number of owner occupied homes in Englewood is an important financial fact because this shows that Englewood is less transient than many other communities and adds an element of stability to Englewood. Another important fact to be considered is that Englewood's school system has a very good reputation in terms of their debt. He said that when you look at the entire debt structure for the City of Englewood, their entire debt structure will be retired in the 1980's, and this compares very favorably when you look at other communities who have debts outstanding into the late 1990's and the early years of 2000.
