The City of Madison has been approached by the Department of Commerce a couple of times to take on the elevator inspection program. The Fire Department already serves the State as an agent who currently oversees the electrical, mechanical, plumbing and fire protection systems. Ruckriegel said the elevator inspection industry is not currently meeting expectations nor are they meeting State mandates. The City of Madison is currently behind schedule with required annual inpsections and that State agencies are as far as 3 to 4 years behind with required inspections. Elevators, escalators, and lifts are not being inspected in accordance with the standards set. Smith raised the concern on the problem that Commerce is struggling with to keep up and maintain elevator inspections that we are not taking on something that will make us in the same position? Moen said that the problem with Commerce is much greater because they have had staff cuts, decided to go with contractors which only has a small pool of people who are certified to do the elevator inspections, and they are not being bid out for the entire State. Ruckriegel indicated that in order to move forward with the elevator inspection program that it would call for four new positions to inspect 2,200 elevators each year. It would take 3 Fire Inspectors, and 1 Administrative Clerk. The premise of the ordinance would enable the Fire Department to propose standardized fees which the revenue would exceed costs for at least the next five years. | |
