"381. 19-33 City, State, Zip Code: Public Comment to Seattle Port Commissioners Sept 1, 2009 from Karen Morris moe@msn.com 425-957-0367 It has come to my attention that you will be hearing at today's "Nickelsville" to meeting from those who support your allowing stay on port land. As I mentioned in my previous comments the there is far more below the surface of this iceberg than I want to reiterate that it polished up tip they will present to you. will is hard data you need to look for, not anecdotes. And you have a very hard time trying to find it. Excuses for the lack of record keeping, data and accountability are just that, excuses. a rational analysis of They tout their "self-governing" aspect, but and avoid that will tell you it can also be used to cover up things I the accountability that is necessary for the common good. and not might wish to be "self-governing" on my own property, have to prove to anyone the efficacy of what I do there, but the I live under feel differently. For the many government entities public good and safety, I must abide by laws, codes, ordinances I do so. I ask only etc... and submit to oversight to assure that that they be held to the same standards. the information I turned over to the Port's Chief of Police some of residents of TC4. For we have been able to gather on some this is only a small reasons too complicated to explain quickly, is the tip of the sampling and there is reason to believe it iceberg. I would also like to point out that TC4 is for many of the problems we found of reasons likely to have the fewest any of the tent cities. It is subject to more regulation by various cities' ordinances, and they do claim at least to consistently and active extraditable require ID to do checks for sex offenders warrants. Our information brings into serious question whether we found numerous they actually do a very good job of this, as there after examples of people getting in with warrants, staying committing crimes, etc... But TC3 and Nicklesville in particular checks. have a history of reluctance and refusal to do even these an All these tent cities hold up their "Code of Conduct" as behavior. But "rules" are assurance to the community of good hardly the same as enforcement. Again, if you look through the reports I provided, (and more I could) you will see numerous instances of problematic and even criminal behavior occurring even though it is "prohibited" by this so-called Code and their other "rules". This represents a considerable risk to any community. Also very problematic is the notion that those supposedly enforcing their rules have the attitude and skills necessary to result in adequate enforcement. There have been many examples over the years of this problematic attitude, but I will give you some more recent ones that relate specifically to Nickelsville. Look at the articles in the Seattle Weekly written by Aimee Curl 8-2-2008 and 11-5-2008. On page 1 of the first article, when the Nickleodeon meeting leader and chairman Craig Corey is ask if the place is going to be built to code, he replies "Code is the farthest thing from our minds. Code rhymes with cold, and we're against it". The article says this elicits affirmative nods and knowing chuckles around the table. At the end of the same article Corey adds that Nicklesville will be open to everyone, even if that means accommodating some "rough characters". He says "We are not talking about civilized people here. We're going to have to come to terms with that at some point. But were not going to kick people out. This is the end of the road. People who will come to Nickelsville have no other place to go" "You can chase a dog from this yard to that yard, and sooner of later you're going to corner this dog and he's going to bite you", he adds "We've been cornered." In the November article this same Craig Cory has gone back with most of the original organizers to SHARE's other tent cities, in his case TC4, then located on Mercer Island. He's quoted as being disappointed with the restrictions Nicklesville adopted, namely the no drinking rule. The article also mentions Leo Rhodes as one of the only original Nickleodeons still living there. Those of us who have followed these tent cities for years are quite familiar with Leo. He has resided at the other tent cities run by SHARE for about a decade according to records we have gathered. l have been to meetings where Leo told us, speaking of TC4, that there "had to be someplace for those who can't follow the rules at existing shelters to go". He identified SHARE's tent cities as that place. we He said this with a straight face at the same meetings where at all because they were assured there would be no problems had a "Code of Conduct". And who "enforces" the so-called security in these places? Why we are told. So a they do it themselves on a "rotating" basis biases and problems fairly new "camper" with whatever abilities, from another camper they come in with can with minimal training be the one enforcing whatever rules they have. Even if your have other information common sense doesn't set off alarms, we that does. In Bellevue, there was evidence of prospective warned off before the police campers with active warrants being could get there and melting into the residential neighborhoods surrounding these tent cities. In Redmond, a turn away set up his own camp a couple of blocks away and proceeded to even an instance burglarize neighborhood residents. There was a in Bellevue of a TC4 Executive Committee member warning crimes while living at TC4 camper who had committed felony him that the police were looking for him in order to try and help of this, avoid arrest. And sadly, the host temple was made aware but chose to cover up and conceal this information from the next neighbors even when the issue came up at a meeting time they hosted TC4. This also is part of a pattern. A Woodinville pastor was ask about a crime committed against an resident she had elderly church member and neighbor by a TC4 tried to help. She said "I wouldn't say this in public, but we really don't care unless it happens on church property". Other pastors of churches who support TC4 have suggested that the obvious matter and didn't problems that could and have happened don't happen, and that the concerns of the surrounding neighborhoods that they don't need to do are so trumped by their opinions Church Council anything substantive about them. So when the I and the Lutheran group continue to lobby you on this issue, to operating on hope you would remember this. They are used faith and trust, and seem to feel they answer to no one in this realm. As such they are sadly vulnerable to being seriously misled and used. But you are public officials, and you hopefully operate based on history, facts, data, common sense and reasonable analysis. And you must be prudent with public resources and protective of the public safety. I remain hopeful you will stick to your original and correct decision.
