Chad Shibuya <br /> <br /> Position against bill 345 <br /> I am not against helping those who need help. It is what I do for a living. However, in its <br /> current form, bi11345 is not a good bill and I ask that you vote against it. The spirit and <br /> intent of the bill are good. The services it could provide are definitely needed. But it is <br /> also vague, and there are too many unanswered questions. <br /> This bill has the potential to impact a community so greatly that it needs to sit well with <br /> everyone. If it were put to a populaz vote, I don't think the public would vote for it. <br /> However, if properly worded and with adequate education to the public, we might <br /> support such a bill. <br /> Many of us aze hung-up on the numbers, between five and eight residents, plus staff <br /> depending on the configuration. I work in health care. Staffing ratios aze always a huge <br /> concern, in all settings. The potential number of people who may be living next door to <br /> you is scary, when you do the math. <br /> Accountability is another lazge concern. What mechanisms aze in place to prevent <br /> problems? And what can the community do if problems arise? <br /> We all wish to live in an environment that is safe and predictable. This is a reasonable <br /> wish and a very important human need (according to a guy named Maslow, anyway.) <br /> Implement this in a way the community can feel comfortable, and I think there will be <br /> much more support. Thank you for your time. <br /> Comm. No. `Y~ <br /> Ref. To: f~' <br /> Ref. Uate JAN 19 2U01 <br /> <br />
