A RESOWfION CLARIFYING THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE CITY OF
ENGLDIOOD FROM THE ARAPAHOE REGIONAL AlJI'OMATED PROPERI'Y
SUDSY STEM
WHEREAS, the ARAP5 Policy Board has requested that each participating
jurisdiction submit its expectations of the ARAPS project;
~, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ENGLEWOOD, COU>RAOO, as follows:
1. When the ARAPS project was originally proposed, the following
general objectives were outlined:
(a) Improve the present services provided our citizens.
(b) Place a lid on escalating personnel costs.
(c) Increase management and policy control of govern-
ment.
(d) Improv e Lh c internal efficiency of our operations.
The City of Englewood wishes to make clear its continuing agreement and conunit-
mcnl to t h<'sc ob ject ives.
2. To accomplish these objectives involves a great deal of work in
two departments of the count y which arc central to geographic data in the city
r e cording of deeds and assessment of property. Fortunately, the Assessor/
Treasurer automation which presently exists gives a running start at this area.
Englewood recognizes that the county may nee d remedial work to the existing
Assessor/Treasurer system in the next year and believes that this work should
part of ARAPS due to centrality of these functions to the city/county data
ions h i p.
3. Study and development work in the City of Englewood should take
place in the areas of the foll owing departments which deal in the property sus-
y r.t ~m :
Public Works
Utilities

Fire
Police
Park s and Recreation
4. The Ci ly b<J li c vcs t h at the ARAPS project risks the label of a
c~puterization project rather than a project to meet the previously stated
cn.:•ra l ~1oals . In ol h t't word s , we.' rj s k one of the tools becoming the goal
rather than only a means. There are a number of improvements which can be
i d entified by the ARAP5 project in the course of its study. The benefit is
hat these areas should be capitaljzed upon.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 18th day of October, 1971.
