Burien City Manager Adolfo Bailon and City Attorney Garmon Newsom II By Erica C. Barnett The city of Burien is preparing to sign a contract with The More We Love, a group run by Kirkland mortgage broker Kristine Moreland with the help of Eastside sales executive Chris Wee, to help enforce its new ban on sleeping in public spaces. The group offers what it has described as private 'sweeps' at a price of $515 for each unsheltered person removed from a site. 'Discussions with The More We Love remain ongoing and a contract will be established once terms are reached by both parties,' Burien spokeswoman Emily Inlow-Hood said.
