municipal departments/agencies providing services from the building. The annual operating budgets for these departments/agencies are given below in Table 10. Budget data below was provided by the City of Eugene, March 2004. Table 10 Annual Operating Budgets for Eugene City Hall Agency Budget Police $5,469,688 Fire Dept. $1,949,651 Fire Marshal's Offfice $727,433 Courts $3,399,650 City manager's office $2,590,154 Human resources and risk management $18,503,985 Total $32,640,561 Adjustment for pass throughs -$16,000,000 Net Annual Operating Budget $16,640,561 The total annual operating budget for the Eugene City Hall is above $32,000,000. However, for the Human Resources and Risk Management Department, the annual operating budget includes pass through payments for benefits applicable to employees working elsewhere and benefits for retirees. Thus, following FEMA guidance, these pass through amounts are subtracted from the annual operating budget to obtain the value of services actually provided from the Eugene City Hall. However, as per FEMA guidance ( What is a Benefit? and in the User's Manual for the Full Data Manual), public services that are critical for immediate response during disaster events are subject to post disaster continuity premiums to reflect the greater importance (and value) of such services during disaster events. For police and fire services, the FEMA standard continuity premium is 10x the normal daily cost of service. Similarly, for EOCs and other emergency services directly related to emergency response, the FEMA standard continuity premium is 10x the normal daily cost of services. As shown in Table 11 below, this FEMA standard continuity premium is applied to the police and fire services provided from the Eugene City Hall. Ordinary public services, not directly related to critical emergency response functions, do not have any post-disaster continuity premiums (e.g., the municipal court functions in the Eugene City Hall). The City Manager's Office and the Human Resources and Risk Management Department provide mostly "ordinary" public services, and thus no post-disaster continuity premiums as applicable to most of these services. However, these departments also provide critical staffing for the EOC and related emergency response functions. We estimate that about 10% of the staff would be providing such emergency services in a major disaster. Thus, we apply the 10x normal daily cost of service to 1/10th of the annual
