2 Determining Meetinghouse Adequacy Introduction Inspect and Rate the Building Review Meetinghouse Usage The Meetinghouse Adequacy Process provides a standard procedure for determining whether a facility adequately meets the program needs for each unit. It also helps priesthood leaders, facilities managers, planning managers, and the area assessment team to identify appropriate options and solutions when a facility is not adequate. The Meetinghouse Adequacy Process includes the following steps: 1. Inspect and Rate the Building 2. Confirm Meetinghouse Usage 3. Evaluate Options All forms referenced in this document are included in the Addendum section at the end of this document. Facilities managers should request feedback from priesthood leaders on building adequacy every year. If priesthood leaders feel a building is not meeting their program needs (i.e. additional space is required, a reconfiguration is necessary, etc.), an adequacy inspection should be performed. Ideally, a local priesthood leader should participate in this inspection to give insight into how the building is being used. This inspection is performed by applying the Meetinghouse Building Adequacy Standards (O&M-PS-0006). Each item is rated and then entered in the Meetinghouse Adequacy Rating and Evaluation Form located in the Addendum section of this document. Building adequacy ratings should also be updated when new space is added to an existing facility such as a building or parking addition. The FM reviews the current meetinghouse usage with the priesthood leader and enters this data in the Meetinghouse Usage Survey Form located in the Addendum section of this document. Once this information is gathered, it is entered into FMAT in the Unit Meetinghouse Usage screen. See the Addendum to learn how to enter Unit Meetinghouse Usage data. For a more detailed room-by-room assessment of meetinghouse usage, use the Assessing Meetinghouse Utilization tool (PLN-CUP-0019). The following FMAT reports provide data regarding attendance and meetinghouse capacity and may be helpful in reviewing meetinghouse usage. O&M-PS-0007 Rev B Date Revised: 1 April 2009 Page 2 of 16

3 Meetinghouse Adequacy Reports. These FMAT reports provide membership and attendance data for units using a particular meetinghouse. See the Addendum to learn how to view these reports: o Meetinghouse Adequacy Detail Report o Meetinghouse Adequacy Summary Report (view details) o Meetinghouse Core Feature Analysis Unit Sharing Data. This data is provided by the planning manager and will tell the FM and priesthood leader the capacity and utilization of buildings in adjoining stakes. Evaluate Options Short-Term vs. Long-Term Needs Once the building has been inspected and column A of the Meetinghouse Adequacy Rating and Evaluation Form is completed, the FM can start evaluating solutions using the process below. If the proposed solution is a large R&I project (APFC determines what constitutes a large R&I project), space reconfiguration, addition, partial or full demolition or disposal, the project is submitted to the planning manager through the RFM. Under direction of the planning manager, an assessment team will explore options. The Meetinghouse Recommendation Tool (MRT) may be used to assist in this evaluation. Once an option has been identified and the scope and costs are identified by the assessment team, these will be presented to the APFC for review and approval. The FM and RFM will be included in this review as appropriate. The assessment team should complete their reviews by May 1. A short-term need is defined as: A condition resulting from the size or number of units attending the building which will diminish or decrease in the near future as a result of: - A stake or unit division - Completion of a new meetinghouse - Similar planned resolution (possibly from neighboring stake) A condition resulting from membership demographics (large primary or young men/young women) that will change in the near future. A long-term need is defined as: A condition resulting from the size or number of units attending the buildings that will not diminish or go away in the near future. A condition resulting from membership demographics (large primary or young men/young women) that will not change in the near future. A condition related to facility inadequacy (access to chapel or other specified area, etc.). Solutions for Short-Term Needs The following options should be considered for short-term needs: Take no action. Related costs make action impractical Modify programs (split or combine classes, move classes to better use of existing space) O&M-PS-0007 Rev B Date Revised: 1 April 2009 Page 3 of 16

4 Identifying Solutions Meetinghouse Structural Problems Provide portable dividers Relocate unit to available space in a neighboring building (including units switching buildings when another unit has an appropriate size for building adequacy) Reconfigure or make improvements to existing space Provide temporary space Adding or eliminating overlap Solutions for Long-Term Needs The following options should be considered for long-term needs. Take no action. Related costs make action impractical Modify programs (split or combine classes, move classes to better use of existing space) Provide portable dividers Relocate unit to available space in a neighboring building (including units switching buildings when another unit has an appropriate size for building adequacy) Reconfigure or make improvements to existing space Add a phased or standard addition For non-standard addition situations, add custom designed new space not to exceed standard plan Consider replacing the facility Whenever possible, program adjustments should be made before determining that an R&I improvement is necessary to resolve the need. If an R&I improvement is necessary, the FM will follow the standard R&I improvement process. Meetinghouses should not be renovated or improved to match design appearance or functionality features of the latest meetinghouse standard plans. Use the Meetinghouse Adequacy Issues and Solutions Worksheet to evaluate available options. Once completed, use this information to update columns B and C of the Meetinghouse Adequacy Rating and Evaluation Form. Once the Rating and Evaluation Form is completed, transfer this information to the Meetinghouse Adequacy Detail screen in FMAT. See the Addendum to learn how to enter data in the Meetinghouse Adequacy Detail screen. If it is determined that a building has serious, irreparable structural damage, record this at the bottom of the Meetinghouse Building Adequacy Rating and Evaluation Form. See the Addendum to learn how to enter this data in the Meetinghouse Adequacy Detail screen. O&M-PS-0007 Rev B Date Revised: 1 April 2009 Page 4 of 16

Enter the Local ID or use the pull down arrow to select a Local Name Select a Unit Name In the Overlaps Meeting Schedule With section, the FM indicates when a unit overlaps with other units.

7 Enter the Local ID or use the pull down arrow to select a Local Name Select a Unit Name In the Overlaps Meeting Schedule With section, the FM indicates when a unit overlaps with other units. For example, three units meet in the Cherry Hill 1,2,8,& building shown below. The Cherry Hill 1 st Ward meets in the 2 nd time period of three units. The FM needs to include the wards that overlap with the Cherry Hill 1 st Ward. In this example, the Cherry Hills 1 st Ward is in the chapel when the Cherry Hill 8 th Ward is in the classrooms. When the Cherry Hills 1 st Ward is in the classrooms, the Cherry Hill 2 nd Ward is in Sacrament meeting. Use the pull down arrows to select the appropriate units. When done, click on Save. Select the appropriate unit Next, the FM will select the 8 th Ward in the unit name and confirm that no unit is in the classrooms when the 8 th Ward is in the chapel. The system automatically notes from previous entry for the 1 st Ward that it is in the chapel when the 8 th is in the classroom. Up to two units that overlap with the selected unit can be entered and/or edited from this page. Finally, the FM will select the 2 nd Ward in the unit name and confirm that no ward is in the chapel when the 2 nd Ward is in the classroom. When done, click Save.
