Living with less visible disabilities—including hearing loss, clinical depression, ADHD, dyslexia, and other language-based learning disabilities—Tim brings lived experience and insight into the broader spectrum of accessibility needs. He believes strongly in expanding the conversation around accessibility beyond mobility challenges to include individuals with limited English proficiency and those with cognitive, sensory, and mental health disabilities. Tim has a working knowledge of reasonable accommodations and is passionate about helping create environments where all community members can fully participate. Three (3) representatives from organizations or programs representing those with a disability Nate Besio (he/him) – Vermont Center for Independent Living (VCIL) - currently serves as a Peer Advocate Coordinator at the VCIL Burlington office. Prior to that he has over ten years of business and accounting experience, primarily in the non-profit industry working for the State of Vermont and UVM. He is currently serving his 3rd term as a Vermont Human Rights Commissioner and is a committed community leader who has served on many boards. John Thomas (he/him) Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired [VABVI] – He has served as the Director of Development for VABVI for seven years. He has been the project manager for VABVI’s accessibility work with the City of Burlington Parks and Rec Dept. Karen Downey (She/Her) – UVM Department of Rehabilitation and Movement Science, Occupational Therapy Graduate Program – As a Burlington resident for over 40 years and a licensed and certified occupational therapist, I wish to be a member of the Burlington Advisory Committee on Accessibility. I have worked with both children and adults who have disabilities in a variety of settings including acute care hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies and educational settings. Recently I retired from the full-time position of District Occupational Therapist in the Burlington School District where I worked with children with disabilities along with their family members. I am presently an adjunct faculty member of the University of Vermont Occupational Therapy Doctoral program. I am also a Ward 5 election worker as well as a member of Vermont AMBUCS, a non-profit organization that provides adapted tricycles for children and adults with mobility challenges. As a member of the Burlington Advisory Committee on Accessibility, I wish to assist the city to improve citizen access to city services, buildings and programs. Considering the number of city residents with mobility and other sensory disabilities as well as the aging of our general population, I am interested in offering creative and evidence-based solutions for accessibility problems that the city faces. Page 7 of 27 At least three (3) people with lived experience who live, work, or spend significant time in Burlington. Lisa Black (She/Her) Burlington Resident - My goal is to be a valued member of the Accessibility Advisory Committee to the Mayor by offering up my unique lived experience as a disabled person and as a medical professional. Being a certified ADA coordinator who took all the necessary courses and passed the national final certification exam a board certified Physician’s Assistant for over 30 years and a board certified Patient Advocate offers a trifecta of advocacy and skills plus being a disabled person myself. Scottie Taylor (They/them) Burlington Resident - I am recently an “official” addition to the residents of Burlington after years of living here as an undergrad student, grad student, young professional, and now hoping to grow my family here. It is quite a privilege to have the opportunity to be a member of the Advisory Committee on Accessibility. My spouse, Taran [they/she] and I bought our home on Shelburne St, and talk often of how excited we are to add a younger generation to our home. Milo, our cat [he/him] shares our home, is exclusively an indoor cat, and loves being a BTV cat. Burlington has felt like home for me all these years - I’ve loved everything from Church Street to the bike path to Oakledge to the small city parks sprinkled throughout. I love our old city buildings and our charming pockets of community within the city. In order for me to know I love these parts of our city, I have the privilege of easily accessing them - in some ways they were designed with my body in mind. Not all bodies were considered, and now we have the opportunity to amend and learn from time and experience. I love that I have an opportunity to bring my lens to a Committee committed to making all these parts of Burlington accessible to all, so they can discover what pockets of Burlington they love the most. As a Physical Therapist with a variety of experiences, I hope to bring insights from many perspectives - families with children who feel overwhelmed in accessing the community, alternative mobility considerations, neurodivergent considerations, and anything I might not be familiar with, I am not one to shy away from a conversation filled with curiosity and learning. Thank you again for your consideration in my participation in your Advisory Committee. If it feels like it might be a good fit, I look forward to working with you all. If, for now, you find another whom brings what is needed, thank you for your work in making Burlington feel like an accessible home to all.

To-date this money has not been spent or discussed, and the Capital Program Director would like to discuss an opportunity to spend these funds ($150,000 in total) in FY26 with BACA. Project – Leddy Arena Elevator: The City has identified a major need at the Leddy Arena in order to make that building more accessible to all regardless of abilities. Adding an elevator to the arena building was identified as a project in the Leddy Park Comprehensive Plan (2023). The arena currently does not have an elevator, and the only way to get to the main facilities of the arena from the upper level if you are a person using a wheelchair or other mobility device is to go outside and down a road, which is not accessible per ADA, to access the public bathroom or participate in other activities provided at the main level of the arena. Alternatively, there are ADA parking spaces located behind the arena adjacent to the main level of the arena, but spaces are limited, located in an obscure location and one must cross the Greenway to access the limited spaces. City staff have done some work to try and identify how an elevator could be installed in this facility, and have some early cost estimates for implementation. At this time, there is an estimate of $150,000 to complete this project. The Capital Program Director would like to request BACA consider this project and provide a recommendation on whether this project would meet the criteria for use of available capital funds that have been allocated to support accessibility projects throughout the City. If BACA is supportive of the project and would like to see it move forward, the Capital Program Director would work to ensure it is part of the FY26 Capital Budget and connect with the City Teams that would move it forward to implementation. Staff is sharing project documentation related to proposed design for reference. Please note that these plans are subject to change, but is being shared as a concept for the overall project. Funding: As noted above, the funding for this project would be from the Accessibility Project’s budget of $150,000 (see Budget Table below). If the project moves forward and the City identifies an additional funding need, the Capital Program Director will work to identify whether there are any other funding sources available to help support the completion of this project. If BACA does not support the use of Page 10 of 27 City of Burlington Capital Program CT Office | DPW | BPRW | I&T| BCA | CEDO | Public Safety these funds for this project, it is unlikely that there will be other Capital revenues available to support the total cost of the project in FY26 and the project will need to be delayed. Leddy Arena Elevator Project Budget Project Cost Estimate (5/19/2025) $150,000.00 Revenues Available: Annual CIP Bond Proceeds (2023A) $50,000.00 GF (ARPA Revenue Reimbursement (FY22)) $100,000.00 Total Revenues: $150,000.00 Recommendation: The Capital Program Director is requesting that BACA consider recommending the use of the available capital accessibility funds, in the amount of $150,000, to support the implementation of an elevator at Leddy Arena in order to make that City facility accessible to all members of the public.

GENERAL LU/LA ELEVATOR REQUIREMENTS The product described herein, manufactured by Savaria is an elevator designed and dimensioned to provide Limited Use/Limited Application (LULA) elevator to suit individual building requirements for use by persons with disabilities. Provide the ORION Commercial LU/LA Elevator manufactured by Savaria or equal elevator (not a platform lift), and as supplied and installed by Accessibility Systems, Inc. (802) 434-3499 Contact is Bob Weber. B. SUMMARY OF WORK 1. The new elevator will be installed in southeast corner of the bleacher are of the existing Leddy Park Arena. The location is chosen to avoid the need of cutting into the upper level concrete slab at rear of the existing wood bleachers. The elevator will have just two stops to connect the upper and lower levels of the arena which are not now wheelchair accessible without exiting the building and using the exterior doors to reach each level. 2. Remove just the top four 2x10 wood bleacher seats and 2x10 wood bleacher floors between them. Only parts of the metal framing supporting the bleachers will be removed as indicated on Drawing A1. 3. Saw cut the lower concrete slab exactly where shown on sheet A1 of the drawings. This location is chosen to avoid interference with any of the 5’6” x 5’6” x 15” thick building frame foundations, which are also shown on sheet A1. 4. The elevator will require a concrete pit that will be 14” deep of the size and rectangular shape indicated on drawing A1. Provide new concrete walls around the pit that will support the wood framed shaft as indicated on Drawing A3. 5. Install the elevator shaft and its adjacent elevator equipment room where show on Drawing A1. There will be a storage closet installed above the elevator equipment room. Although the elevator equipment room will fit underneath the top floor bleachers, the view of the arena would be blocked by the new elevator shaft making these seats useless. The storage closet that will be located directly above the elevator equipment room will have access only from the upper level walkway. The removed wood bleacher seats and floor, all of which are made of 2x10 boards, can be reused to make the floor. Scope of Work and Specifications for new LULA ELEVATOR AT LEDDY PARK ARENA, Burlington, VT Page 3 Page 14 of 27 6. The elevator shaft and the elevator equipment room need to have 1-hour fire construction consisting of 2x4 wood stud framing and 5/8” Firecode Sheetrock construction. 7. All of the weight of the elevator cab is carried on two pairs of back-to-back 2x10 continuous, vertical wood blocking set between 2x4 wood studs at the locations shown on Drawing A1. Note that the 2x10 back-to-back blocking board are NOT centered in the long walls of the elevator shaft. (Warning; in two of the four cases where I have specified this same elevator, the carpenter in the field did not carefully look a the drawings and located the 2x10 blocking in the center of the shaft, causing this part of the work being re-done before the elevator supplier (Weber Accessibility Systems) could install the elevator. 8. The elevator will operate on single phase power but it requires four separate dedicated circuits as indicated in the elevator electrical specifications and on Drawing E1. 9. The General Contractor will be responsible for the concrete work, walls, doors hardware, ceilings, painting and finishes. The Electrical sub-contractor will bring four dedicated lines from the existing panel in the southwest corner of the existing concessions stand room. There is adequate open circuits to install the required additional circuit breakers require for the elevator, plus a fifth circuit to provide light and an outlet in the new storage closet that will be built above the elevator equipment room. 10. The Elevator Sub-contractor will install all of the elevator tracks, and all of the elevator parts. He/she is also responsible for the proper alignments an all adjustments to assure that the elevator operates properly. The elevator will be factory painted “Architectural White”. Door frames and doors for the storage room and the elevator equipment room will be part of the general contractor’s work. C. GENERAL CONDITIONS: 3.
