7. Committee and Consultant Reports.

a. NEII® Government Affairs Committee. Amy J. Blankenbiller reported on the following:

• New York City: There is a new Commissioner at the New York City Department

of Buildings. NEII® has met with him and will continue to work on our key issues. NEII® was able to secure late fee and penalty relief for 2011, 2012 and 2013, but is still working on relief for 2010-2011. NEII® engaged outside counsel from the NYC law firm Bryan Cave to analyze the legislative, regulatory and legal options


available to the industry. Amy Blankenbiller stated she will be circulating the report next week to the company general counsels for review and will hold a working group call soon thereafter.

• Washington: NEII® was apprised that the State of Washington was going to

begin vigorous enforcement related to equipment that has outdated inspection certificates. NEII® acknowledged that there is a backlog on inspections, but even if all the companies agreed to schedule all needed inspections as soon as possible, there is not enough labor nor enough state inspectors to address the situation in a timely manner. NEII® will be meeting with the Department of Labor & Industries on February 17, 2015 to discuss how we address this situation and potentially suspend enforcement if the companies are working on getting all equipment inspections up to date.

• California: NEII® met with the California Elevator Program February 3-4, 2015 to

discuss the pre-rule draft proposed code updates. NEII® was very prepared, and Amy Blankenbiller wanted the Board to be aware that the technical code folks should be congratulated on all the hard work that went into the proposal review and preparation for the meeting. NEII® made progress on several issues, but overall it was clear that the California elevator program staff wants to restrict the use of traditional MRLs, especially those designs with the controls in the hoistway. NEII® will be meeting on the non-MRL related proposals in late March.

Amy Blankenbiller went on to explain that the technical meetings were only one facet of the NEII® strategy. We are employing numerous tactics including coalition building with our customer stakeholders such as hospitals, BOMA, shopping centers, etc., as well as meeting with Governor Brown’s GoBiz office on February 20, 2015. In addition, NEII® will be providing cost data to the Department that will be considered during the next phase of the rule development process.

• Federal MRL Restrictions: Amy Blankenbiller provided an update on the policies

recently issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers and US Navy restricting the use of MRL designs. David McColl and Amy Blankenbiller indicated that the NEII® Central Code Committee had this issue on its agenda and would provide an update to the Board of Directors at its April meeting.

c. NEII® Central Code Committee. David McColl reported on the following:

• Meetings: The NEII® Central Code Committee (CCC) has not held a regular meeting since the last Board of Directors teleconference meeting in December. The CCC’s energy and focus over the past two months has been directed towards the California DOSH 2013 code adoption proposals. Most of the CCC members and other NEII® members met on December 8-9, 2014 for a special meeting to review these proposals and formulate NEII®’s responses. The group met again this week in San Diego prior to the meeting with DOSH, to finalize the responses and presentations. All NEII® team members worked hard to prepare for the DOSH meeting and represented NEII® very ably and professionally this week.
