The Board of Examiners of Stationary Enstzneers, Boiler or Water Tenders convened and met on
June 27, 2000 to respond to questions asked by Mr. Dan Hanley. The questions referred to the
operation of the 1603 Orrington Building znd its use of Stationary Engineers.
The Board reviewed and discussed the operation of the 1603 Orrington Building as we
understand its heating and air conditioning system.
The information given to the Board indicated the original steam boiler was no longer in use.
The Plumbing Inspector for the City of E,--anion has re-confirmcd the original heating system
steam boiler is no longer used as a back-up for the heat recovery chillers and has been replaced
by electric water heaters.
Based on this information, the Board finds that although parts of this heating system fall under
the jurisdiction of the State of Illinois `Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety Act and Rules and
Regulations", it no longer falls under the requirements of Chapter 3 of the Evanston Municipal
Code.
The Board, because of safety concerns, expressed the need to adhere to City Ordinance, Chapter
3, Section 4-3-6 "OPERATION OF STEAM ENGINE, WITHOUT LICENSE PROHIBITED".
This Section is clear in its direction that a properly licensed Stationary Engineer must be on cite
when boilers or steam Plants carrvin¢ more than fifteen (IS) Pounds pressure Per souare inch are
being used, managed, or operated in the City of Evanston.
