Report
The Phoenix Fire Department (PFD) is responsible for the provision of technical rescue training through its Technical Rescue Team (TRT) Program. In order to provide such training, PFD requires a facility that has the climbing wall capacity, occupancy capacity, and availability to allow for the training of TRT students in a controlled environment. The skill-specific training would be very difficult to conduct in any other environment while also maintaining an acceptable level of safety and instructional oversight for the students.
Further request the City Council to grant an exception to Phoenix City Code (PCC) section 42-18 to allow that to the extent permitted by law, the City shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties, from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), arising, directly or indirectly, out of the use of, activities or entry on, or resulting from bodily injury or death of persons, or damage to or loss of property, which occurs on the Premises of the Owner’s Property or in any manner directly or indirectly grows out of or in connection with the use, entry, occupancy or condition of the Premises, the Owner’s Property or any parts thereof, except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Owner.
