I’ve read this, and I appreciate the time that went into laying it out. At a high level, I agree with the intent and overall direction of what’s being described as a practical path forward. The way it connects enforcement, public safety, environmental impacts, treatment, outreach, and behavioral health reflects how I understand the issue as well.
Where I land is that agreement with the framework doesn’t automatically translate into agreement with implementation. My support for specific pieces would depend on seeing the actual details, especially how accountability is built in and how enforcement, staffing, and coordination are structured in practice.
Overall, I’m aligned with the intent and general structure being described here. I've asked our City Clerk to share the article with Council.
This is very well written. Unfortunately nuance and pragmatism are not a part of Port Angeles City Council’s skill set. I am going to add this to my calendar to re read one year from today. I suspect the problems will get worse - especially those service resistant that refuse to respect any rules.
I appreciate this article and your time on the matter. This is well done with very valid concerns and I believe viable answers. Thank you for your time.
Very well thought out. I hope someone in local government reads this-
