CITY~F SAN BERNARDINOQ RE~ST FOR COUNCIL AOrION
STAFF REPORT
In 1986, Legislation (58-547), now called the unreinforced masonry building law
(URM), was passed requiring all jurisdictions in seismic zone 4 to accomplish the
following:
1. Survey and identify all unreinforced masonry wall structures.
2. Develop a hazard mitigation plan
3. Submit a report of the findings to the legislative body and the Seismic Safety
Commiss i on,
This proposal is to provide the City of San Bernardino with the necessary technical
information to permit an informed choice on the ordinance changes desirable, the
types of building to be strengthened, an inventory of the (URM) buildings stock,
and the effect on the community. In addition, an outline plan for developing
public awareness to the seismic risk faced by the community will be prepared and
assistance will be provided in developing public support.
We recommend that authorization be granted to advertise for proposals.
