Did Ordinance 861 actually pass at the last council meeting? Burien’s own City Council rules suggest not A vote taken by the Burien City Council at its May 19, 2025 meeting to approve Ordinance 861, which sets permanent rules for temporary homeless shelters operated by religious organizations, may not have been legally valid, despite being declared passed by City Manager Adolfo Bailon. The final vote was 3-2-2: three in favor, two against, and two abstaining. Bailon stated during the meeting: “I believe that is a successful vote,” after Mayor Kevin Schilling, Cydney Moore and Alex Andrade voted yes, and Councilmembers Linda Akey and Stephanie Mora voted no. http://b-townblog.com/did-ordinance-861-actually-pass-at-the-last-council-meeting-buriens-own-city-council-rules-suggest-not/
