RESOLUTION NO. 46
SERIES OF 1980~-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD,
COLORADO, IN OPPOSITION TO RESOLUTION NO. 838-80 OF THE
ARAPAHOE COUNTY BOARD OP COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WHICH PROPOSES
A ONE-HALF PERCENT (.St) SALES AND USE TAX WITHIN ARAPAHOE
COUNTY.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Enqlewood,
Colorado, has examined Resolution No. 838-80 of the County
Commissioners of Arapahoe County, which Resolution relates to
a proposed one-half percent (.5%) sales and use tax within
Arapahoe County: and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that such a sales tax
will restrict Englewood's ·ability to increase its sales tax,
thereby limiting revenue to the City of Englewood necessary
for providing the residents and taxpayers of the City with
municipal services: and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that Arapahoe
County now receives a larqe sum in property tax revenue from
the City of Englewood taxpayers: however, Englewood receives
none of the services of the County Enqineer, Road Department,
Planninq Department, Purchasinq Department, Personnel Depart-
ment, Animal Control or Sheriff's Department of Arapahoe County:
and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the proposed
sales and use tax will qenerate a larqe amount of revenue for
Arapahoe County but that very little, if any, of that amount
will be returned to Enqlewood residents and taxpayers in the
form of County services: and
WHEREAS, the City Council recoqnizes that Enqlewood is
part of Arapahoe County and that Enqlewood taxpayers do have
an obliqation to help support County services but are payinq
a disproportionate share of taxes to the County in relation to
the services received1 and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that Resolution
No. 838-80 is not in the best interests of the residents,
businessmen, and taxpayers of the City of Enqlewood.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OP ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO:

Colorado, and urqes the defeat of such proposal.
