STAFF ANALYSIS
The 1990 Edition of the National Electrical Code has bee n thoroughly reviewed by the
Division of Building and Safety staff and adoption of the code , with certain
amendments, is reconrnended.
BACK&ROUlll
The National Electrical Cod~ is updated by the National Fire Protection Assoc i~tion
every three years in order to keep pace with changing construction technology and
life safety concerns. Colorado State statutory requirements (Title 12-23-104)
mandate that all electrical installations in Colorado minimally conform to the
State-adupted standard which is currently the 1990 National Electrical Code . In
preparation for the adoption of th ~ 1990 edition of the National Electr i cal Code the
Division of Building and Safety has publi shed information in the Englewood C'li.~!1
regarding the proposed code adopt ion ; has notified a 11 genera 1 contractors Ticensed
in Englewood of the pro posed 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 in t he new code editions .
