Pat Sullivan also watched the KOMO 4 segment "Seattle is Dying", but believes it did not go far enough to address that a person needs to have to make their own decision to want the help needed to beat their addictions. She stated it also did not go far enough to discuss another obstacle created when the Courts ruled that enforcement of trespassing for those who set up temporary housing such as tents on private property can be determined as "cruel and unusual punishment". President Younger was most compelled by the police officers who expressed their frustration with the system while watching the KOMO 4 segment "Seattle is Dying", and challenged all of his fellow Council Members to also view the segment so that a discussion can be held on these issues at a future Study Session. With no further business, President Younger adjourned the Council Meeting at 7:00 PM.
