ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Administration is requesting that the Council adopt the following by ordinances:
Building Occupancy Resumption Program (BORP)
The BORP would utilize local building inspectors and qualified volunteer inspectors to perform
emergency inspections following an earthquake that causes damage to buildings. The inspections would
determine whether buildings are safe to occupy. The proposal is designed to reduce inspection delays.
This voluntary program would allow participating businesses and building owners who satisfy
requirements set by the City an accelerated inspection and re-occupancy of their buildings after a
significant seismic event that result in building damage.
Employee Disaster Leave Program
This proposal that would grant leave with pay to employees who are certified disaster service employees
to participate in disaster relief services for up to 12 work days in any 12 month period. The proposal
would also create Title 22 – Local Emergencies, a separate title in Salt Lake City Code, to give local
emergency provisions greater prominence. The proposal is part of the City’s efforts to actively prepare
for disasters and catastrophic events.

POLICY
1. Could the Building Occupancy Resumption Program be expanded to include other disasters, such as
fires and floods?
2. What is the Administration’s plan for outreach to businesses, in particular local small businesses, to
encourage participation in the BORP?
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND
Building Occupancy Resumption Program
The Building Occupancy Resumption Program was first implemented in San Francisco and is now being used in
multiple states.
Preauthorized emergency inspections can reduce inspection delays. Salt Lake City inspection personnel are
typically dispatched first to areas of greatest damage and public hazard. This may not include the buildings in
question and could take several weeks or even months to complete the process of inspecting all commercial
buildings.
In June 2012, the Structural Engineers Association of Utah (SEAU) attended a meeting with Council Member
Søren Simonsen and other licensed engineers and architects to discuss the possibility of implementing a BORP.
The program is supported by the SEAU as well as the State Emergency Management Team.
Employee Disaster Leave
The Disaster Leave Authorization Ordinance authorizes employees paid leave to participate in disaster response
outside of the City through the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). This enables approximately
20 properly trained and certified emergency response employees to gain valuable experience by assisting in
active, declared disasters responses. The experience would enhance Salt Lake City’s ability to respond to a local
disaster Deployments could be authorized by the Administration if the deployment does not create a hardship.
The National VOAD coalition includes over 50 organizations including faith-based, community-based and other
non-governmental organizations. The organizations deploy frequently to disaster and catastrophic events
around the country and will partner with Salt Lake City in the event a local response if need.
The value of the services provided by the Disaster Leave Program would be included in the “total amount of
services or other non-monetary assistance provided or fees waived” that may not exceed 1% of the City’s budget
for the year, Utah Code 10-8-2(2)(b).
A public hearing is required on the Disaster Leave Authorization Ordinance by Utah Code Section 10-8-
2(1)(a)(v).

RECOMMENDATION : That the City Council approve the Building Occllpancy Resumption Program Ordinance
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The pUI]JOse ofa Building Occupancy Resumption Program is for Salt Lake City to preauthorize a post~earthquake building inspection, which will allow a quick and thorough evaluation of possible building damage by qualified persons familiar with the structural design and life-safety systems of a building. This private emergency inspection can facilitate rapid decisions regarding the closure or occupancy of the building or occupancy of only specific building areas.
Following an ealihquake that causes building damage, Salt lake City Building Inspectors and qualified volunteer inspectors will be utilizing standard emergency inspection procedures to post whether or not buildings are safe to occupy, post event. The priority of these inspections will be geared toward public safety rather than expeditious business resumption. With current City Inspectors, the process of inspecting all commercial

buildings could take several weeks or even months. Some businesses and building owners may wish to inspect and reoccupy their bui ldings more rapid ly than might be accomplished by the current Salt Lake City inspection process.
A program of private emergency building inspections, including the preauthorization ofa building owner's licensed structural engineer and qualified life-safety inspectors, is outlined in the attached program descliption. This program is referred to as the Building Occupancy Resumption Program (BORP) and is fashioned after a very successful program in San Francisco that is now being used in multiple states.
Preauthorized emergency inspection can reduce inspection delays, because jurisdiction inspection perso11l1el typically are dispatched first to areas of greatest damage or public hazard, which may not include the buildings in question.
PUBLIC PROCESS: This program was recommended by the Structural Engineers Association of Utah. (SEAU) A me ting of all stakeholders was held at the City and County Building in early 2012. The meeting was well attended by SEAU and many other licensed engineers and Architects . All in attendance were highly supportive of the proposed program. A presentation was also done at the State Capital for the State Emergency Management team, which was also well attended and demonstrated a consensus of supp0l1.

BUILDING OCCUPANCY RESUMPTION PROGRAM
After a major earthquake involving damage to Salt Lake City buildings, it is important that local buildings can be inspected and reoccupied and that business can resume operations as soon as it is safely possible. The Division of Building Services and volunteer inspectors will be utilizing standard emergency inspection and posting procedures with priorities geared toward public safety rather than expeditious business resumption. Some building owners may wish to develop programs of private inspection for their buildings to permit rapid, individualized emergency response.
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of a pre-certified emergency inspection program is to allow a quick and thorough evaluation of possible damage to a structure by qualified persons familiar with the structural design and life-safety systems of the building. This private emergency inspection could facilitate rapid decisions regarding the closure or re-occupancy of building areas. Prearranged emergency inspection could reduce inspection delays, as City inspection personnel typically are dispatched first to areas of greatest damage or public hazard, which may not include the building in question.
II. PREPARATION
Building owners or their authorized representatives may request participation in this program at any time except during the aftermath of an earthquake resulting in a declared state of emergency. A building designated as having met the requirements outlined below in preparing for emergency response shall be placed on a list of buildings, which are accepted for private emergency inspection. There is no OBI fee for participation in this program.
Building owners who wish to participate in the program should take the following steps; more detail is available on referenced sections.
• Select emergency inspection team - (Section III, item A) • Obtain building plans • Write inspection plan - (Section IV, item 0) • Develop building information, evacuation plan, inspector response requirements,
equipment and drawing locations, and other pertinent information - Use Checklist -Appendix A
• Prepare precertification documentation (Section V) • Submit written building emergency inspection program, including inspection plan • Obtain and store emergency earthquake safety and inspection equipment/supplies
(Section III, item B) • Update inspection plan, supplies, personnel changes, and training as necessary
Page 3 of 14
• Submit Biennial Renewal form - Appendix D - before each biennial anniversary of initial approval date every other year
III. EMERGENCY INSPECTOR REQUIREMENTS - A minimum of one primary and one alternate inspector shall be retained by the building owner for each applicable inspection discipline. The structural inspection team shall consist of the primary and/or alternate inspector and any additional structural engineer or person trained in ATC 20 procedures, as required. Few architects consider structural inspections within their purview; however, architects can add expertise to an inspection team to address nonstructural hazards such as blockage of exits, facade and ceiling assembly hazards and life safety system performance. Architects/engineers experienced with historical structures should be considered for the emergency inspection of historic buildings.
Approved emergency inspectors for this program will be deputized by the City of Salt Lake to give them authorization to perform inspections and post buildings which are on the precertified list with official City placards. The extent of responsibility and liability is governed by the agreement between the owner and inspectors.
A. Minimum Qualifications and Requirements 1. Structural Inspectors
a. Current Utah license as a professional civil or structural engineer or architect b. Relevant experience in the structural design and/or inspection of similar buildings c. Proficiency in ATC-20 Detailed Evaluation Procedures
2. Elevator Inspectors a. Employment by a firm engaged in elevator maintenance and installation as their primary business. b. Familiarity with the building elevator installation
3. Life-safety System Inspectors (required for high-rise buildings) a. Familiarity with building life-safety system
B. Required Documents, Equipment and Supplies 1. Copy of building Emergency Inspection Program including evacuation plan and other
pertinent information 2. Structural, architectural, and/or life-safety system drawings; or
[If building is so old that structural drawings do not exist or are not clear enough to allow a good understanding of the actual structural system] As-built drawings or a clear description of the structural system and any known weaknesses and unique features
3. Personal safety equipment including hardhat, protective clothing, respirator, etc. 4. Inspection equipment including flashlights, measuring devices, ladders, and other applicable items 5. ATC-20 Detailed Evaluation forms (latest edition) for reporting inspection findings to Salt
Lake City 6. Caution tape and barricades 7. Walkie-talkies or other emergency communication equipment for large buildings, if applicable 8. Sufficient green, yellow, and red official City safety assessment placards to provide one of
each color for each entrance to the building - to be supplied by City upon approval
IV. EMERGENCY INSPECTION PROGRAM - The program shall include the following information. Please use the fill-in-the-blank format - Appendix E - for items A-C below. The form can be downloaded from the Internet (http://www.slcgov.com/) or requested on computer disk for easier completion.

A. List of primary and alternate emergency inspectors for this building with addresses and phone numbers, and email addresses for engineers and architects:
1. Licensed engineers/architects retained for structural inspection 2. Staff building engineers 3. Elevator firm, if elevator inspection required 4. Life-safety system inspectors, if required
B. Building information 1. Photograph of building 2. Address 3. Description of building including age, number of stories, size, materials 4. Estirnated current building valuation 5. Number of building entrances to be posted with City placards 6. Listing of building use(s) - offices, apartments, etc. 7. Description of structural system 8. Description of life-safety system including location of emergency power generator 9. Description of building fire detection and suppression systems 10. Description and locations of potential falling hazards 11. Location, type, and handling instructions for any hazardous material
C. Emergency response requirements and information including: 1. Trigger for activation of emergency response (e.g. declaration of emergency, >6.0earthquake, client request) 2. Access procedures and/or keys for entrance to the site and all building areas 3. Location of equipment and supplies 4. Location of Emergency Inspection Plan and on-site drawings
D. Emergency inspection plan including: 1. Inspection guidelines consistent with ATC-20 Procedures for Postearthquake Safety
Evaluation of Buildings including Detailed Evaluation Procedure. Recommended methodology for welded steel joint inspection is FEMA 352, where required. (Note: BORP does not require connection inspection per FEMA 352 for pre-Northridge moment frame buildings.) These inspections may be required by the inspecting engineers, or Salt Lake City. For special inspection or materials testing, use only agencies preapproved by the City; a current list is available at 1660 Mission St., 3rd floor. 2. Detailed instructions regarding where to look, what to look for, and how to obtain
access to inspection areas. 3. Detailed instructions regarding how to inspect specific structural and non-structural
elements and how to interpret observed damage. 4. Detailed instructions regarding additional inspection procedures to be performed
following aftershocks. 5. [Optional] Placement of accelerometers. Instrumentation is recommended as part of an Emergency Inspection Program for all highrise buildings in Salt Lake City. Correct placement of accelerometers per Administrative Bulletin AB-058 can provide valuable postearthquake information about the performance of a building. This option may be considered in certain cases as a means of reducing the percentage of joints required to be inspected after an earthquake.
E. List of required documents, equipment and supplies and their location
V. PRECERTIFICATION DOCUMENTATION - Precertificalion must occur before the

SUBJECT : Disaster Leave Ordinance and Creation of New Local Emergencies title of the City Code
STAFF CONTACT: Cory Lyman, Emergency Management Program Director (80 1)799-3601
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends the Council review the employee Disaster Leave Program and approve the related ordinance.
The Administration also recommends that the Council create a new Local Emergencies title for thi s provision and other emergency related provisions.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City is active ly preparing for disaster and catastrophic event response. Employees can gain valuable experience in their assigned emergency response roles by assisting in active, declared disaster responses outside the city. This ordinance authorizes employees leave to participate in outside responses through the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD).
City plans for disaster and catastrophic incidents invo lve assigning City employees nontrad itional tasks such as mass care and sheltering, volunteer and donated goods management and resource distribution. While employees can attend training and pru.1icipate in exercises, there is no substitute for the experience gained through deployment in a real disaster.

@ .... o .. o •••• •
National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) is a non-profit, nonpartisan membership organization that serves as the forum where organizations share knowledge and resources throughout the di saster cycle .
The National VOAD coal ition includes over 50 of the country's most reputable national organizations (faith-based, corrununity-based and other non-governmental organizations) and 55 StatefTerritory VOADs, which represent Local/Regional VOADs and hundreds of other member organizations throughout the country.
Organizations in the VOAD deploy regularly to di saster and catastrophic events around the country and will be our partners in a local response when needed.
This ordinance will enable properly trained and certified City employees to deploy as VOAD volunteers. These deployments could be authorized by administration if the deployment does not create hardship and the experience will enhance the City' s ability to respond to local di sasters. Employee deployments could be a maximum of 12 days in a 12 month period.
The proposed ordinance is modeled on Utah Code Section 34-43- 10 1 et seq.
The value of the services provided by thi s program would be included in the "total amount of services or other non-monetary assistance provided or fees waived" that may not exceed 1% of the City's budget for the year. See Utah code 10-8-2(2)(b) .
If the City Council adopts the proposed Disaster Leave ordinance and/or the proposed Building Occupancy Resumption Program ("BORP") ordinance, which is being transmitted separately, the City Attorney recommends that the City Council create a new T itle 22 of the City Code - "Local Emergencies" - for emergency-related ordinances. The current ordinance provisions related to emergencies are contained in Chapter 2.09 of Title 2 - "Administration and personnel. " .
The individual chapters of Title 2 deal with internal city governance, predominantly specific boards and commissions. Other more general chapters such as "Conflict of Interest" still have an internal focus. While the current provisions on " local emergency proclamation" and interim succession fall within that scope, the current provision on price controls in an emergency and the proposed BORP ordinance have an external regulatory impact. Creating a separate title for Local Emergencies could also g ive the provisions greater prominence, similar to what was done with the creation of a separate human rights title.
PUBLIC PROCESS: A public hearing is required by Utah Code Section 10-8-2( 1)(a)(v), but the fu ll "Doug Short" process does not apply. See Utah Code Section 10-8-2(2)(a).

WHEREAS, effective emergency preparedness and response are critical to the
safety and health of the Salt Lake City community; and
WHEREAS, volunteer organizations such as the American Red Cross playa

support their response in Salt Lake City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the availability to these volunteer
organizations such as the American Red Cross of volunteers from other parts of the
country to respond in the event of a disaster in Salt Lake is an important benefit to the
City; and

that would be provided to volunteer service organization, such as the American Red
Cross and to City employees by the adoption of the following ordinance; and

following ordinance is in the City's best interests.
