Title/Name/Summary
Illinois Elevator Safety Program Agreement
History
The Village of Orland Park currently utilizes the 2006 edition of the International Building Code as the basis for standards regulating Elevator safety.
Revisions to State of Illinois Elevator regulations have been completed under Public Act 96-0054, (225 ILCS 312/140) by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM). Standards referenced in the State revisions are updated editions and additional standards for inspector qualifications, have been updated and added under this public act.
The State is requiring the Village to amend its existing Code for compliance and sign a letter of agreement with the OFSM for the Village to maintain its responsibility for inspection and maintenance of existing elevators located within our jurisdiction. The copies from the OSFM have been attached.
These Elevator construction and maintenance standards revisions are referenced in the Village Code, Title 5, Chapter 1, Section 13 under items # 187 and 188 of the ordinance. The changes are highlighted for viewing.
This agreement is now before the Village Board for consideration.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the proposed amendments to Title 5, Chapter 1, in the Orland Park Building Code, and authorization of signatures to the Illinois Elevator Safety Program Agreement.
