 Proposed BACA Members in Accordance to Resolution for appointment

Three (3) City Staff including the City’s ADA Coordinator and the Director of Capital Programs
Katherine Schad (she/her) - ADA Coordinator

Ashley Parker (she/her) – Capital Programs Director

Timothy Williams (He/Him) Safety Manager - dedicated City of Burlington employee and lifelong
resident with a deep personal and professional commitment to advancing accessibility and inclusion.
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.

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.



Sharon Henault (She/Her) Burlington Resident – Sharon Henault is a 70 year old woman with cerebral
palsy who is lucky enough to have lived through the civil rights and IL movements for people with
disabilities.

She has worked for the Governor’s Committee on Employment for Persons with Disabilities (GCEPD)
(formerly “for handicapped,”), as a Vocational Rehabilitation counselor, an advocate for United Cerebral
Palsy and a navigator for the Federation for Children’s Mental Health.

Re: Allocation of Capital Funds for Installation of Elevator at Leddy Arena



Overview:

Over the last several Fiscal Years, the City has set aside a combination of bond proceeds and General
Fund revenues for Accessibility Projects. 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.

A. 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. BURLINGTON STANDARD CONTRACT CONDITIONS for CONSULTANTS and related insurance
requirements applies to all parts of this project, and will be included in the final construction contract.
