Seismic Priority List
Gough reported on item before Council regarding rating system
Strengthening hasn't gone as quickly as task force would have hoped
Endorse provision of info, rating system is a good idea but inappropriate for DA to
endorse.
Copeland-part of decision is difficult because Mission is near top of list, difficult to
address; DuFault said 50% of Mission has been done but it's all by donation
Swem: concerned with rules changing all the time, people have set their games plans for
their properties, what is point of accelerating at this time, buildings have been standing
for a long time, moving target
Wilmore: issue is "significant progress," has been in ordinance all along
Gough: URM Hazard rating system provided by Task Force offers good methodology
for accelerating retrofit however DA is not endorsing any measure presented to Council.
Motion to adopt this recommendation by DeFault, 2nd by P. Seeley,
Revise to include "appears to provide a good rating system," while DA supports Council
review of this approach, DA does not endorse any measure."
Carter: understand that DA is saying the rating system has merit but is not comfortable
endorsing.
URM Hazard rating system provided by Seismic Task Force appears to offer good
methodology for accelerating retrofit and while DA supports Council's review of
this approach,DA does not endorse any measure presented to Council tonight.
Motion to approve revision by DuFault, 2nd by P. Seeley, PAIF.
