Ellis -3 - Date June 20, 1994 INl11A TED BY STAFF SOURCE COUNCIL GOAL COUNCL COMMUNICATION Agenda Item llf Department of Public Works Subject DRC(X;'s Elevator, Escalator, &: Dumbwaiter Inspection Program Charles Esterly, Director of Public Works NIA ISSUE/ ACilON PROPOSED Staff seeks Council support for a bill for an ordinance revising the Englewood Municipal Code to allow participation in the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRC(X;) Elevator and Escalator Inspection Program. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACilON During the 1994 Budget workshop, the New Program Request for elevator inspections was not approved . BACKGROUND Prior to 1980, when funding was eliminated, tr, State of Colorado provided annual inspection services for elevators and escalators. Local jurisdictions recognized the need to continue to inspect thi s equipment, and under the umbrella of DRCcx;, a regional inspection program was created. The Elevator Inspection program will enhance the public's safety , with all costs offset by fees . Without this program, there is no independent verificar.0n of elevator safety. Of the 16 participating jurisdictions, Englewood is only surpassed by Lakewood, Greenwood Village, and Boulder in terms of the numbers of elevators. Denver is not partici pating in the program. Wlml f.nglewood adopted the 1988 Uniform Building Code, we amended the Code by mcducting reference to elevator inspections. The proposed action would restore these excluded lledians back in the EnGJewood Municipal Code. ST AFJI ANALYSIS The current Englewood Code excludes elevators from mandatory inspection. This change will require inspections and set appropriate inspection fees . The DRCOG Elevator Inspection Program provides for the semi-annual inspection of elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, and wheelchair lifts, and plan review for all new installations. With this specialized transportation machinery, excessive wear and tear of mechanical parts such as cables and brakes, and underground oil leaks can only be detected during inspection and safety tests . With the American witl. Disabilities Act (ADA), the number and usage of elevators is increasing. This program costs the participating jurisdictions $100 .00 per unit. To have this program pay for itself, the City would bill the owners $150.00 per unit. Currently, the other participating jurisdictions pass along the costs to building owners at a rate from $100 .00 to $150.00 per unit. FINANCIAL IN'J'ACT fi Englewood will be billed twice per year, for one half of the total fee of $15,000 (150 units@ A $100.00 = $15,<m). This cost and local coadination of tM program will be CO\lered by fees W collected. STAFF NOTES If anyone would like to review the Uniform Building Code, we're happy to loan a copy. In the attached bill for an ordinance, the sections that are in BOLD UPPER CASE or Nl4 la, er sse &H'YQ! a11t represent the changes that will appear in Section 8-2A.
