R E S O L U T I O N
This matter coming before the Commission upon the
request of the Director of Emergency Services, Lester Houk, and
The Commission having made inquiry and being advised,
IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT:
(I) Every officer, board, department or commission
of the County of Deschutes charged with the duty of preparing
specifications, or awarding or entering into contracts for the
design, erection or construction of buildings, or other structures,
including additions to the existing structures, for the Cities
and the County, shall recommend, or cause to be recommended, that
there be incorporated in such buildings, or other structures,
fallout protection for at least its normal anticipated population
which shall meet or exceed the minimum space and fallout protection
criteria recommended by the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency of
the United States Department of Defense (DCPA), unless exempted
from such shelter requirement in accordance with subsection (2)
of this Resolution.
(2) County Commissioners, Emergency Services Director
and others may exempt buildings or structures from this require-
ment by means of a letter where he finds that such incorporation
of fallout shelter will create an additional cost in the construction
of such structure, or that other factors as he may determine make
unnecessary or impracticable the incorporation of fallout shelter
in such structures.
(3) It shall be the policy of the County to recommend
that fallout shelter be incorporated in all public buildings of
the Cities and the County to the fullest extent practicable, in
order to provide protection against radiation for the greatest
number of people in the event of nuclear attack.
Dated this 7th day of March, 1973.
