Otis , Mayor City of Englewood 3400 South Elati Street Englewood, CO 80110 Dear Mayor Otis: CITY MANAGER'S Offlc r: ENGLWOOD - I am writing on behalf of the Arapahoe County Task Force on Alcohol Problems , Inc ., the agency which operates Arapahoe House. The principal purpose for this letter is to present our formal request for continuation funding to Arapahoe House from the City of Englewood for FY 86. As you may be aware, Arapahoe House is the most comprehen- sive free -standing public alcoholism treatment center in Colo- rado . We offer detox i f ication, residential and outpatient ser- vices in four locations . During this past fiscal year, Arapahoe House provided be- tween $375,000 and $400 ,000 in alcoholism treatment services to residents of Englewood . Accordingly, we are requesting $25,000 from Englewood to assist us in meeting the cost of providing these services. A sizeable percentage of these individuals were treated in our detox unit instead of being incarcerated. This service is thus not only of vital importance to the clier.ts and their families, but represents a substantial cost savings to the community. I want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your past support of Arapahoe House. Only about 60\ of our costs are reimbursed by the Colorado Department of Health, and, consequently, without your support, our services would be severe- ly curtailed. If we can provide you with additional information about our programs, please let me know. I thank you in advance for your attention and consideration in this important matter.
