AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
March 26, 2013
SUBJECT: Amendment —Title 10, Building Regulations —Elevator Code /
FROM: Robert L. Kallien, Jr., AICP, Community Development Director/
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
MOTIONS: I move to amend Title 10 - Building Regulations of the
Village of Oak Brook by adopting the current elevator codes and ordinances of the State of
Illinois and approve Ordinance G -994.
Backeround/History:
Illinois municipalities who have entered into a safety program for elevators has received
information from the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal regarding amendments to Section
140 of the Elevator Safety Act 225 ILCS 312/140 and the Administrative Rules adopted at 41
ILL. Adm. Code 1000 — effective April 24, 2007 and amended on October 1, 2012. If the
amendment to this safety program is not entered to, Oak Brook would no longer be permitted to
inspect elevators within its jurisdiction and that responsibility would be transferred to the State
Fire Marshal's office.
The State Fire Marshal has required several amendments to those adopted by the Village in 2011
under Ordinance G -941 and in order to maintain consistency with the State of Illinois elevator
requirements, the following standards must be adopted by the Village of Oak Brook:
