Title

History
See also 2025-0322, 2025-0323, and 2025-0325.
The goal of this amendment is to update elevator inspection frequency regulations in Village Code Title 5: Buildings; Chapter 2: Building Permits and Fees. Proposed text amendments were posted on the Village website on May 2, 2025, for public review, and links to the proposed amendments can be found in the attached PDF. The proposed changes include:
* Changing the regulations from semi-annual to annual inspections.
At this point, this matter is being presented at the Committee of the Whole as an initial review. The planned next steps are as follows:
1. Development Community Listening Sessions - As an additional step in engaging with the community, the Development Services Department will be establishing recurring listening sessions. These listening sessions will allow members of the development community to propose development process improvements and ask questions. Village staff will also provide updates such as the proposed code adoptions, the new permitting software rollout, and other topics of interest to the development community. A social media post will be released announcing each listening session and emails will be sent to all registered contractors, developers, and consultants. Each session will be video recorded, and a link will be sent to all registered contractors, developers, and consultants.
2. The final ordinance adopting the code update is anticipated to be placed on the June 16, 2025, Board of Trustees Agenda.
Financial Impact
Establishing the frequency in elevator inspections per the State Fire Marshal at 1 time per year, a reduction from 2 times per year, results in the reduction of elevator inspection costs.
