  • Burien’s police contract continues to be the city’s largest expenditure: over $13m in 2021, and projected at over $14m in 2022. What reductions, if any, would you support when the contract is up for renewal?

  • As a Council Member, will you support continuing to contract with KCSO for police services or for Burien to pursue another option for policing? What factors will you consider when making this decision?

  • In 2020 King County voters, including 61% of Burien voters, approved King County Charter Amendment 6 allowing for modification of the structure and duties of the King County Sheriff’s Office. What specific changes are you hoping to see? What actions are you taking to work toward this?

  • Given the abuses, misconduct, faulty investigations, and non-cooperation with the inquest process, what can be done in Burien to restore community confidence in the Burien Police Department and KCSO?

  • What will you do to encourage supportive and low-income housing in Burien (0-30% AMI)?
