I move that council bill 19 dash 1330 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. Thank you Councilman Hines, your motion to amend it. Thank you Mr. President. I move that council don't 19 dash 1330 be amended with the following particulars one on page one line 21 strike 20190104 and replace with December 20, 2019 and two on line 22, strike 20190104 and replace with 20190108. Thank you, Councilman. It has been moved and seconded comments by members of Council on the Amendment. Councilman Hines. Thank you, Mr. President. Right now, elevator mechanics have no required timeframe in which they need to respond to people trapped in elevators here in Denver. Denver, excuse me, Denver fire reports responding to an average of eight elevator entrapments daily, which means about 3000 a year. Also in 2017, in Denver, a man died while trapped in an elevator despite pressing the emergency call button twice. Although elevator companies are supposed to monitor elevators, no one responded to this man's calls. Inoperable emergency phones are a common issue per Denver fire. Having a timely response from the elevator mechanic has become increasingly important. Public safety is at risk with so many entrapments each day, and safety is also at risk when fire teams are unavailable to respond to other calls. While at these entrapments, the building code does allow for Denver fire to issue fines for noncompliance. However, Denver Fire stated in committee that they have never issued a citation for an entity acting in good faith. Thank you for that. I would understand and support their decision. Should Denver Fire want to consider the maintenance record of elevators when considering good feet? A properly maintained elevator does not fail as often is a poorly maintained one, and I would encourage building owners and elevator companies to maintain their elevators. We use elevators as a means to an end and no one enters an elevator expecting to get trapped in it. Finally, I want to thank Denver Fire for their commitment to public safety and for all you do for our city, they are here and available. Should you have questions? Otherwise, I ask for an I vote to the amendment and to the bill. And I'm sorry. One other thing, Mr. President, your comment about this bill was spot on. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Councilman.
