1/17/84 Page -7- Question called for. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. AUDIENCE COMMENTS None CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT Councilmembers had a copy of the ordinance; ORDINANCE #818 - MODEL Attorney Rautenstraus read it by title only on ELEVATOR CODE - PUBLIC HEARING second reading and public hearing and certi- fied proper publication. Mayor Meier opened the public hearing and Attorney Rautenstraus certified proper pub- lic<~.tion of the public hearing notices. Director John Rupp advised that Louisville is one of the few cities in this part of the Denver metropolitan area that is par- ticipating in this program with DRCOC. When. Rupp spoke with the Chief Building Inspector, Steve Ferris, he indicated that i.e. the City of Boulder was not able to get everything completed or they would have been involved with the program also. Did not know why Broomfield, Longmont, or Lafayette were not involved in the program. The City collects the fees and then a portion of the feesgo to DRCOG who pays the inspector. The inspection is made once a year. DRCOG will have a licensed person that will come and certify the elevator. It is something that we can't do at the present time. Mayor Meier :inquired if this had been done in i~he past, and if so was it done on a piece meal basis? Would this bring in more of a uni1Eorm type inspection for the area. Rupp replied yes, they are trying to get a morE~ uniform approach to it. The City of Denver has their own inspector that is part of ltheir staff. Since the inspection is only done once a year to hire someone to do that in ]Couisville for example, we have one elevator in -the main part of town and the rest of them are at STC. Therefore, he didn't think it would be cost effective for Louisville to hire such a person. Public Hearing Continued Mayor Meier asked if there were any public conunents for or against Ordinance #818. None Any public questions? None Council questions and comments.
