AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting

SUBJECT: Amendment — Title 10, Building Regulations — Elevator Code
FROM: Robert L. Kallien, Jr., AICP, Community Development Director
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A

RECOMMENDED 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 authorize the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance for final
consideration at the October 14, 2008 Board of Trustees meeting.
Backllround/History:
The Village of Oak Brook has received information from the Office of the Illinois State Fire r
Marshal regarding 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, which
requires Illinois municipalities to enter into a safety program for elevators. If 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.
It should be noted that Public Act 095 -0767, which was signed by the Governor on July 29, 2008
extends all compliance dates in the elevator code to 2013.
In order to maintain consistency with the State of Illinois elevator requirements, the following
standards must be adopted by the Village of Oak Brook:
1. American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Three Park Avenue
New York, NY 10016 -5990
A) Safety Code of Elevators and Escalators (ASME A 17.1- 2007 /CSA B44 -07) and
Performance -Based Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators (ASME A17.1-
2007 /CSA B44.7 -07);

B) Guide for Inspection of Elevators, Escalators, and Moving Walks (ASME A17.2-

C) Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators (ASME A17.3 -2005) (upgrades
required by application of the Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators
must be completed no later than January 1, 2013;
D) Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts (ASME A18.1- 2005);
E) Standard for the Qualification of Elevator Inspectors (ASME QEI -1 -204).
2. American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

3. American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

Automated People Mover Standards (ASCE 21- 2000).
I have discussed these text amendments with the Village's Elevator Inspection Consultants (EIS)
and they concur with my recommendation to adopt the current State of Illinois elevator
regulations.

issued shall also be forwarded to the OSFM.
f) Discontinuance of a Local Program

licensing, or otherwise regulating conveyances, the local program

PART 1000 ILLINOIS ELEVATOR SAFETY RULES
SECTION 1000.140 CONVEYANCE INSPECTION
Section 1000.140 Conveyance Inspection
a) Acceptance Inspections
All new conveyance installations shall be inspected and, based on that
inspection, shall, prior to initial use, receive a Certificate of Operation from

licensed elevator contractor who shall, subsequent to inspection, certify
compliance with the applicable Sections of the Act and this Part [225 ILCS
312/95(a)]
b) Periodic Inspections and Tests
1) It shall be the responsibility of the owner of all new and existing

the responsibility of the owner to insure that the inspections and tests
are performed at the prescribed intervals

State code listed in Section 1000 60 that applies to the conveyance
being inspected
3) Subsequent to inspection, the licensed elevator inspector must

inspection report to be in full compliance by correcting any violations.

work of his /her company, or the work of a company affiliated with
his /her company
2) The Board may grant exceptions for governmental, academic, and
other institutions that maintain their own personnel licensed as
elevator inspectors and as elevator mechanics to allow those
personnel to inspect conveyances owned or leased by the institutions
as long as they are not inspecting their own work
3) The Board may grant exceptions and allow Category 1 Pressure
Tests (see ASME Al 7.1) of elevators to be witnessed by a licensed
inspector employed by a licensed contractor, provided that a separate
licensed mechanic performs the tests, in the event that there are
insufficient independent licensed inspectors available.
