From Deseret News archives:
Excerpts from report on Salt Lake County public works building
Southwest office addition: "This building has little or no earthquake resistance."
Original office structure: "Lack of vertical reinforcing in walls make walls susceptible to tipping or buckling out of plane."
Southeast office addition: "The exterior walls appear to be two-wythe unreinforced brick which may buckle or tip over in an earthquake."
West two-story office addition: The six-inch cinderblock wall "is very slender compared to its height and increases the potential for tipping or buckling out of plane in an earthquake."
"Overall these structures have severe seismic deficiencies. These deficiencies pose a serious potential risk to the building occupants and operations should an earthquake occur."
