STAFF ANALYSIS
The 1988 edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code has been thoroughly revicw~d by the
Division of Building and Safety staff and adoption of the code , with certatr:
amendments , is reco11111ended.
BACKGROUND
The Ctty of Englewood has used the Uniform Mechanical Code as a model construction
code since 1970. The Uniform Mechanical Code is updated by the International
Assoc ht ion of Pl umbt ng and Hechanica 1 Offtc1a 1 s and the lnternat ion a 1 Conference of
Building Officials every three years tn order to keep pace with changing
construct ton technology, hea 1th ts sues , and 11 fe safety concerns. In prepara t ton
for the adoption of the 1988 edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code, the Divis i on of
Building and Safety has published tnformatton tn the Englewoo~ Ctttzen regarding the
proposed code adoption; has notified all general contractors tcensed in Englewood
of the proposed changes in the new code edition and of the City's intent to pursue
adoption of this edition ; and has met with the Englewood Chamber of Co11111erce to
explain the nature of the changes tn the new code edition .
r
'--'
FINANCIAL
Develo~nt Costs : Amendments to the text of the code are basically for
clarlfcat!oniiiii/or definition of safety provis i ons; therefore, no increased
developtnent costs are anticipated through application of the 1988 Uniforn Mechanical
Code .
Revenue Effect: The permit fee schedule 1n the 1988 edition is identical to the
prevlouslyiaopted 1985 edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code ; therefore, revenue
projections for 1990 will remain unchanged .
