SUBJECT: Request to accept and execute up to six (6) Office of Local Defense Community
Cooperation (OLDCC) Grants for the Home Construction Improvements designed in the
Residential Sound Insulation Project (RSIP) program.
REQUEST
The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (Airport or BTV) seeks approval and authorization:
1. To accept and execute up to six (6) OLDCC grants for the Home Construction Improvements
designed in the RSIP program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND BENEFITS ANTICIPATED
1. Project Summary:
The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport has a residential sound insulation program for those
households affected by aircraft noise. BTV has requested funding from the Office of Local Defense
Community Cooperation (OLDCC) through the Department of Defense to implement this program to
increase the number of homes to be mitigated in the five-year horizon. These grant opportunities are the
first-time appropriations have been made available through the DOD to assist in funding Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) Noise Compatibility Programs (NCP) at National Guard Facilities.
BTV has just recently applied for six (6) grants, two (2) in the amount of $2,500,000.00 each and four
(4) in the amount of $1,000,000.00 each. Last year, BTV applied for these same grant opportunities,
however were not awarded any grants because our program request was too large, therefore, by applying
for smaller portions in multiple grants, our probability to receive some or all is greater. This approach
was recommended by the OLDCC administration. Due to the timing of the applications and the timing
Page 11 of 121
needed to award these funds we are asking for authorization to accept up to $9,000,000.00 in up to 6
separate grants which would support the home improvements of approximately 58 homes at the currently
estimated costs. We are requesting this authorization early, as the federal appropriations must be
awarded prior to the end of the current federal fiscal year, therefore we are preparing early.
OLDCC
The Community Noise Mitigation Program through OLDCC, is intended to facilitate the installation of
sound insulation in covered facilities. Through the Consolidated Appropriations this funding is for
airports at or near guard or reserve installations, The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation
must obligate the remaining funds through a counter-signed grant agreement no later than close of
business on September 30, 2025.
RSIP
The Residential Sound Insulation Program (“RSIP”) is an approved measure of the 2020 Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) approved 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 Noise
Compatibility Program. The overall Program allows airports to access federal funds to mitigate noise
such as installing sound insulation materials like windows, doors, insulation, HVAC systems and
includes approximately 2,400 residential units located within the 65-75 Day Night Average Sound
Level (DNL) contours of the approved 2024 Noise Exposure Map (NEM). It’s important to note that
without an approved NCP or NEM, no federal funds can be obligated towards these programs. Homes
in this project will be located in the City of South Burlington, City of Winooski, or Town of Williston.
Properties will be selected based upon their location within or adjacent to the approved 2024 Noise
Exposure Map (NEM) 65 - 75 DNL with a goal of balancing the program homes between the most
affected cities/town of South Burlington, Winooski and Williston. Home selection is to be determined
as part of this scope of work outlined in these grants. For further information, all of our NCP and NEM
documentation can be found at btvsound.com
2. Benefits Anticipated:
The project will reduce interior noise levels of the eligible properties by installing an acoustical
treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by upgrading interior eligible living
areas. Upgrades may include replacement of windows and doors with acoustically rated products and
installation or upgrade of ventilation systems. The sound insulation treatments are designed to reduce
the interior noise levels to below 45 DNL and provide a minimum noise level reduction of 5dB, all of
which is a requirement of the FAA. It is anticipated that this project construction improvement will
benefit an estimated 6 homes with an estimated 15 occupants per $1 million grant and an estimated 15
homes with an estimated 35 occupants per $2.5 million dollar grant. If all $9.0 million is awarded, the
total homes that would be improved would be approximately 58 homes, however, this is a highly
competitive grant program which may award less than the $9 million requested.
Page 12 of 121
PROJECT APPROACH
The approach we are taking is that BTV already has adequate funds for design in existing FAA RSIP
grants. These designs are currently moving forward. We would utilize the OLDCC grants to expedite
home improvements. This will not affect our approach with the FAA program just bolster our ability to
do more construction sooner utilizing these new funding sources. We will continue to apply annually
for FAA grants to support the RSIP program.
FUNDING:
The funding anticipated from the OLDCC is 90% of the funds with the remaining 10% coming from a
combination of State of Vermont match, Vermont Gas Company Efficiency Fund match and the
Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) program.

DATE: August 25, 2025
SUBJECT: Request to execute a lease agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA)
for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) office space
REQUEST
The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport ("Leahy BTV") respectfully requests approval and
authorization to execute a lease agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA) for
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) office space.
Background
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) plays a critical role in the daily operations of
Leahy BTV, and as such, requires appropriate operational and administrative space within the
terminal. As part of our ongoing terminal expansion and modernization efforts, we have worked to
thoughtfully integrate TSA's evolving needs into the design of our facility—particularly through the
development of an expanded security checkpoint and the reallocation of space for offices, breakrooms,
and other support functions.
Over the past several years, TSA’s operational requirements have changed significantly. Prior to the
construction of our new security checkpoint, TSA occupied a set of offices used by their management
and leadership teams. However, due to the phased nature of our terminal construction and the need to
accommodate various logistical and structural updates, TSA’s office footprint was temporarily
reduced and relocated. These changes were previously reflected in an amendment to their original
lease agreement.
At the expiration of that agreement, and in coordination with the General Services Administration
(GSA), the Airport requested the development of a new lease to more accurately reflect TSA’s current
Page 15 of 121
Page 2 of 2
and future space needs. Due to delays in communication and transitions in GSA staffing, the prior
lease remained in a holdover status until a final version could be completed. The newly drafted lease
now outlines all of the existing space occupied by TSA and preliminarily identifies additional space
they have expressed interest in leasing—though this additional space is not yet formally committed to
in the current agreement.
The Airport is actively constructing this new area to accommodate TSA’s potential expansion. Once
construction is complete and TSA confirms its intent to lease the new space, an amendment to this
lease will be brought forward for City Council consideration. As has been previously discussed with
the Airport Commission, if TSA elects not to lease the newly constructed space, the Airport has a
strong pipeline of interested tenants and would quickly pivot to make that rentable space available to
other qualified users.
Importantly, this new lease also includes an updated rental rate that reflects our current market-based
terminal square footage rate, which is calculated based on our terminal revenue needs—ensuring
consistency across all terminal tenants and supporting our commitment to financial sustainability.
Lease Terms
The proposed amendment includes the following key terms:
• Effective date July 1, 2024
• New expiration: July 31, 2034
• Rental Rate: $149,202 annually, $68.41 per square foot
MOTIONS:
Board of Finance:
“To approve and recommend that the City Council authorize the Mayor of the City of Burlington
to execute the lease with General Service Administration at the Patrick Leahy Burlington
International Airport, subject to final review and approval by the City Attorney’s Office, and to
take such further actions and execute such further instruments approved as to form by the City
Attorney’s Office as may be necessary or convenient to effectuate the transactions contemplated
hereby.”

disruption, as is required for the Government’s access to, occupancy, possession, use and enjoyment of
the premises as provided in this lease.

term of the lease, to inspect all areas of the property to which access is necessary for the
purpose of determining the Lessor’s compliance with this clause.
3. GSAR 552.270-7 FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE (SEP 2022) (DEVIATION)
(a) If the building in which the premises are located is totally destroyed or damaged by fire or other

terminate the lease.
(2) Unless otherwise approved by the Lease Contracting Officer, the Lessor shall be
permitted a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 270 days from the event of
destruction or damage, to repair or restore the premises, provided that the Lessor
submits to the Government a reasonable schedule for repair of the premises within 60
days of the event of destruction or damage.
(i) If the Lessor fails to timely submit a reasonable schedule for completing the
work, the Government may elect to terminate the lease effective as of the date

completion commercially impracticable, the Government may terminate the
lease effective as of the date of the destruction or damage.
(3) During the time that the premises are unoccupied, rent shall be abated. Termination of
the lease by either party under this clause shall not give rise to liability for either party.

which might arise as a result of Lessor’s failure to inspect for or correct a hazardous condition.
5. GSAR 552.270-10 DEFAULT BY LESSOR (JUL 2023) (DEVIATION)

and remedies of the Government:
(a) Prior to acceptance of the space. Failure by the Lessor to perform diligently any obligations
required for acceptance of the space or other required improvements within the times
specified, other than due to an excusable delay, shall constitute a default by the Lessor.

opportunity for the Lessor to cure its default, the Government may, in its sole discretion,
terminate the lease on account of the Lessor's default.

provision of a reasonable opportunity for the Lessor to cure its default, the Government may,
in its sole discretion, take one or more of the following actions:

costs, incurred in connection with taking the action;
LESSOR:______ GOVERNMENT:______ GSA Template 3517A –
REV (02/25)
Page 4
Page 33 of 121
(2) Reduce the rent by an amount reasonably calculated to approximate the cost or
value of the service not performed, item not provided, or requirement not satisfied,
such reduction effective as of the date of the commencement of the default condition.
If default renders the leased premises untenable, the reduction of rent may be
calculated as the prorated portion of the monthly rent represented by all such days
the leased premises is untenantable;
(3) Terminate the lease if:
(i) The Lessor's default persists notwithstanding provision of notice and reasonable
opportunity to cure by the Government, or
(ii) The Lessor fails to take such actions as are necessary to prevent the recurrence
of default conditions, and such conditions substantially impair the safe and
healthful occupancy of the premises, or render the premises unusable for its
intended purposes.
(c) Damages. The Lessor and the Lessor sureties, if any, are jointly and severally liable for any
damages to the Government resulting from default or termination, as provided in this clause.
(1) Damages include all costs associated with the replacement lease(s), which include
but are not limited to the following: the Government’s aggregate rent, estimated real
estate taxes, operating costs, administrative costs, or other reprocurement costs.

terms) in excess of this lease term, the Lessor is not liable for excess Government
rent or adjustments during such excess lease term.
(3) Damages to which the Government is entitled to under this clause are due and
payable thirty (30) days following the date the Lessor receives notice from the
Contracting Officer specifying such damages.
(d) Excusable delays.

Lessor with damages under this clause, if:
(i) the delay in substantially completing any work or performing any services arises
from excusable delays, and
(ii) the Lessor, within ten (10) days from the beginning of any such delay (unless
extended in writing by the Contracting Officer) provides notice to the Contracting
Officer of the causes of delay.
(2) The Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay. If the facts
warrant, the Contracting Officer shall extend the delivery date commensurate with the
delay at no additional costs to the Government. A time extension is the sole remedy
of the Lessor.
(e) No deduction from rent, termination of lease, or any other action pursuant to this clause will
constitute a default by the Government under this lease.
(f) The rights and remedies specified in this clause are in addition to any and all remedies to
which the Government may be entitled as a matter of law.

(a) When space is offered and accepted, ANSI/BOMA Occupant Area (ABOA) square footage
delivered will be confirmed by either:
(1) The Government’s measurement of plans submitted by the successful offeror as approved by
the Government, and an inspection of the space to verify that the delivered space conforms with such
plans; or
(2) A mutual on-site measurement of the space if the Contracting Officer determines it
necessary.
(b) The Government will not pay for space in excess of the amount of ABOA square footage stated
in the lease.
(c) If the amount of ABOA square footage delivered is less than the amount agreed to in the lease,
the lease will be modified to reflect the amount of ABOA space delivered and the annual rental will be
adjusted as follows:
ABOA square feet not delivered multiplied by one plus the common area factor (CAF), multiplied by the
rate per rentable square foot (RSF). That is:
(d) Common Area Factor (CAF). The CAF is expressed as a percentage of the difference between
the amount of rentable square feet (SF) and ABOA SF, divided by the ABOA SF. For example 11,500
RSF and 10,000 ABOA SF will have a CAF of 15% (11,500 RSF-10,000 ABOA SF)/10,000 ABOA SF.
(e) Rentable Square Footage (RSF). The RSF is calculated using the following formula for each type
of space (e.g., office, warehouse, etc.) included in the premises: ABOA SF of Space x (1 + CAF) = RSF.
7. GSAR 552.270-27 INTEGRATED AGREEMENT (SEP 2022) (DEVIATION)

(a) The Lease Contracting Officer (LCO) may at any time, by written order, direct changes to the
tenant improvements within the space, building security requirements, or the services required
under the lease.
(b) If any such change causes an increase or decrease in Lessor’s cost or time required for
performance of its obligations under this lease, whether or not changed by the order, the Lessor
shall be entitled to an amendment to the lease providing for one or more of the following:
(1) An adjustment of the delivery date.
(2) An equitable adjustment in the rental rate.

(3) A lump sum equitable adjustment. or
(4) An adjustment of the operating cost base, if applicable.
(c) The Lessor must assert its right to an amendment under this clause within 30 days from the
date of receipt of the change order and must submit a proposal for adjustment. Failure to agree
to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause. However, the pendency of an
adjustment or existence of a dispute shall not excuse the Lessor from proceeding with the
change as directed.
(d) Absent a written change order from the LCO, or from a Government official to whom the LCO
has explicitly and in writing delegated the authority to direct changes, the Government is not
liable to Lessor under this clause.

RE: Upsized Sewer on Cherry Street Contract & CWSRF Loan Authorization
REQUEST:
The Department of Public Works (DPW) and its Water Resources Division (WRD) are seeking
authorization to execute an engineering services agreement with Wright Pierce (WP) for up to
$70,000 and an engineering services agreement amendment with Stantec for an additional
amount up to $50,000 for services related to the planning and design of an upsized sewer on
Cherry Street. In addition, DPW-WRD are seeking authorization to execute a State Revolving
Fund (SRF) loan amendment increase of $120,000 for a total principal amount not to exceed
$518,600 to fund the identified engineering services of Wright Pierce and Stantec.
BACKGROUND:
In 2014, the suburban-style mall that disconnected Bank and Cherry Streets was purchased and
later demolished. The CityPlace Burlington developers (formerly the BTC Mall Associates)
subdivided this main parcel, transferred ownership of the clipped sections of Pine Street and St
Paul Street to the City, and committed to a public-private partnership to rebuild these streets,
reconnect Bank and Cherry Streets, and coordinate street and sidewalk improvements in all
directions. As you are aware from other City efforts, the City of Burlington has entered into an
agreement with the Vermont Agency of Transportation1to develop a project to rebuild Bank Street
and Cherry Street, and build one new block of Saint Paul Street and one new block of Pine Street
to the Burlington Great Streets Standards.

Plans have advanced into preliminary and final design. Water Resources has evaluated the
project corridor to consider water resources infrastructure needs including: accommodations for
future growth in the project corridor, projected future flow from East Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP) through the project corridor, updated design standards, and asset management
recommendations to replace infrastructure. In March 2024, the City executed an engineering
services agreement for design engineering services with Stantec for the CDS Cherry Street and
RAISE Reconnecting Downtown (#CA0811 Burlington CDS CD23(1) - VTrans Grant #CA0811)
project.
Wright Pierce (WP) has been working with the City since 2019 on planning and design of the
City’s wastewater treatment and collection systems upgrades. DPW-WRD is pursuing the
consolidation of the City’s three (3) existing wastewater treatment plants to two (2), with the
pumping of wastewater flows that are currently treated at the East WWTP to Main WWTP as
presented in Preliminary Engineering Report developed by WP. The preferred route for the
redirected East WWTP flow includes a gravity sewer segment under Cherry Street from South
Winooski Avenue to Battery Street. DPW-WRD would like to take advantage of the opportunity
that the ongoing Great Street work planned for Cherry Street offers by designing and installing an
upsized gravity sewer pipe under Cherry Street that would be adequate to convey wastewater
flows from East WWTP to Main WWTP, in addition to existing and future wastewater flows
generated within the Cherry Street sewer collection area. The March 2025 Sustainable
Infrastructure Plan (Lake Bond) bond authorization vote included funds for this project.
To this end, DPW-WRD is requesting authorization to advance engineering scopes of work with
both Wright-Pierce and Stantec. WP’s scope includes hydraulic model and design support
services for the evaluation of the existing hydraulic model for the Main WWTP sewer collection
system to identify potential impacts of pumping up to 3 million gallons per day (MGD) of flow from
the East WWTP to the north end of the Main WWTP sewer collection system. Stantec’s scope
includes design updates for the proposed sewer main along Cherry Street based on design input
from hydraulic modeling work to be completed by WP. This project has a tight schedule with bid
ready CDS Cherry Street documents due by June 2026 to meet Federal grant requirements.
Given the additional work needed prior to June 2026 (right-of-way plans and clearance, final
plans, federal sign off), we are seeking concurrent action from the Board of Finance and the City
Council.
WP’s component of this work will be structured as a new discrete engineering services
agreement. Stantec’s component of this work will be a Change Order to the existing CDS Cherry
Street and RAISE Reconnecting Downtown engineering agreement bringing the total agreement
value to $2,267,249 (with inclusion of the proposed $50,000 Change Order). DPW-WRD
continues to coordinate with the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Department of
Environmental Conservation Water Investment Division, Water Infrastructure Finance Program
for the potential inclusion of both the WP and Stantec components of this work for the State
Revolving Fund (SRF) program. Based on correspondence with the WIF Program staff to-date,
DPW-WRD anticipates that both engineering services components will be deemed eligible for
funding through the SRF program. If deemed eligible and authorization is granted by Council,
DPW-WRD staff will work with the City Attorney’s office to prepare SRF Loan amendment
documentation for execution. If one or both projects are not deemed eligible for SRF Loans, this
2
Page 49 of 121
essential work will be paid for with available FY26 capital wastewater (Fund 480) funds.
PROJECT COST AND LOAN SUMMARY:
Water quality and rate affordability guide every decision we make. Therefore, we are advancing
work through loans from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (“CWSRF”) to the extent feasible.
The CWSRF carries specific requirements during procurement, design, and construction phases
of projects. While this adds some time on the front end, the advantages over a publicly offered
bond include a lower borrowing cost (2% administration fee), potential access to subsidy and
pollution control grants, repayment periods that can extend beyond 20 years where appropriate
for longer life infrastructure, and a delayed repayment period (1 year from the completion of
construction) which gives us some flexibility in budgeting for debt service. These benefits result
in mitigated rate increases for our residents and customers.
The following summary table outlines the costs that comprise the total CWSRF Loan amounts for
which we are seeking approval. We have estimated not-to-exceed (NTE) values for our loan
applications to ensure there is contingency to make reasonable scope of work adjustments during
the final review of the scope by the State.
Cost Table for CWSRF Loan RF1-332
Item Estimated Total Amended
Costs Loan Value
Step I costs already approved. NOTE: $398,600 $518,600
This Step 1 work includes more than
just the Cherry Street Upsizing project.
Step II: Stantec Engineering $50,000
Step II: Wright Pierce Engineering $70,000
Once authorized by the Board of Finance and City Council, WRD will apply for the SRF loans.
The loan application process requires the execution of any contracts prior to the loan application.
While for larger projects WRD often waits until the loan execution to advance work and incur debt,
given the tight timeline for this project, WRD will be advancing work immediately upon submission
of the loan application. This is allowable under the SRF process, and the Wastewater Fund has
sufficient funds available to cover these costs should there be delays in the loan issuance.
This Step II loan will be rolled into a future CWSRF Step III Construction loan authorized under
the 2025 Lake Bond. Repayment of that loan will not occur until 1 year after the completion of
construction. The rate impacts of this borrowing are included in the long-term rate planning
previously presented by WRD (the approximate 89% rate increase over 5 years).
MOTIONS:
The Department of Public Works’ Water Resources Division respectfully requests that the Board
of Finance and City Council approve the following motions:
Board of Finance Actions:
1. “To approve and recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing
a Step II amended loan from the Vermont Clean Water State Revolving fund in a principal
amount not to exceed $518,600, an amended contract with Stantec for an additional
3
Page 50 of 121
amount up to $50,000, and an up to $70,000 contract with Wright Pierce for the Upsized
Sewer on Cherry Street project as more specifically set forth in the attached resolution.”
City Council Actions:
1. “To waive the reading and adopt the attached resolution authorizing a Step II amended
loan from the Vermont Clean Water State Revolving fund in a principal amount not to
exceed $518,600, an amended contract with Stantec for an additional amount up to
$50,000, and an up to $70,000 contract with Wright Pierce for the Upsized Sewer on
Cherry Street project as more specifically set forth in the attached resolution.”

MEMO
Date: August 25, 2025; September 8, 2025
To: Board of Finance and City Council
From: Kim Bleakley, Central Facilities Manager Department of Parks, Recreation & Waterfront
CC: Deryk Roach, Parks and Central Facilities Superintendent and Interim Director
Re: City Hall BCA Campus Third Floor HVAC Project
I. Purpose
This memo seeks approval to execute all contracts and budget approvals to furnish and install
equipment, connections, controls and supports to replace failed HVAC equipment, improve safety,
energy efficiency and reduce operating costs on the third floor of the Burlington City Arts (BCA)
building, which is part of the City Hall/BCA campus in Burlington, VT.
II. Background
The Burlington City Arts Center was originally built in 1889 as a Firehouse, and was renovated in
1995, when it became the BCA. This building is a vibrant arts and cultural center which hosts City
employee office space, exhibit galleries, educational programs and community events.
This year, the Central Facilities Manager worked with City approved contractor Energy Efficient
Investments (EEI) to prepare a proposal to replace failed equipment and to advance the City’s Net
Zero Energy objectives. The third floor of the BCA has existing HVAC equipment which is well past
end of life. Upgrading failing HVAC systems in commercial buildings improves energy efficiency by
reducing wasted power from outdated, overworked equipment, which directly lowers utility costs.
Modern systems also optimize heating and cooling performance, reducing the building’s carbon
footprint while enhancing occupant comfort and air quality.
The full scope of work for this project will include:
• Install new fan coil units to serve private office space as well as large open office areas
• Install all necessary ductwork and specialties to connect new equipment to existing ductwork
• Install condensate drains, pumps and tubing as necessary
• Connect fresh air and exhaust ductwork from existing rooftop ventilation system to new HVAC
equipment
• Install Direct Digital Controls (DDC) controls system for new equipment and tie the controls into
City’s existing Automated Logic system
• Install new ceiling tile and grid
• Replace light fixtures in lobby/corridor area with LED fixtures
• Install new steel supports connected to existing dunnage to support new HVAC equipment
• Install new railing system in accordance with OSHA/VOSHA requirements to safely access rooftop
equipment
• Install new Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) condensers on steel supports

III. APPROVALS
In March 2023, the City posted an RFP to work with an Energy Performance Contractor to conduct a
technical energy audit of all City facilities and to implement an energy performance contract. The
intent was to identify and affordably implement capital improvements that reduce energy and
related costs in City facilities in a manner that allows annual cost savings, a reduction of energy, and
potentially provide a path to Net Zero Energy for City facilities.

From: Erin Moreau, Interim Director of Parks, Recreation & Waterfront
Date: August 25, 2025
Re: Reclassification of one (1) existing position within Parks, Recreation & Waterfront
Executive Summary:
Parks, Recreation & Waterfront is requesting:
Reclassification of the Marina Manager & Deputy Harbormaster Manager position, a
Regular, Full-time, Exempt, Non-Union, Grade 18, position to a Regular, Full-time,
Exempt, Non-Union, Grade 20, position
Background:
This position is responsible for the daily operations and management of the two municipal marinas and
daily harbor use in Burlington Harbor. It also plays a vital role in the operations of the surrounding landside
areas, from Waterfront Park to Perkins Pier. With support from Facility Maintenance, BPRW has
determined that bringing the supervision of the Facilities Maintenance Specialist position to this position
creates far better oversight and efficiency, for events, projects and facility maintenance of the Waterfront.
The Facilities Maintenance Specialist position is assigned to onsite Event operations. This structural
change will better align BPRW to the roles of ‘operations’ versus ‘maintenance’ in Events, bringing the
responsibility of Event Operations under the Marina & Deputy Harbormaster Manager.
This change also brings alignment and recognition for the impact that this position already has in the daily
management of the waterfront parks, and the assignment of both seasonal and FT staff necessary for our
Waterfront to function. By assigning FT staff to this position, it addresses the chronic issue of the lack of
stability in having an entire seasonal workforce while enhancing the short offseason by being able to
efficiently plan and execute necessary facility projects, maintenance and upgrades to adequately compete
with neighboring marinas. Investment in this position is critical to the stabilization and revenue growth
for BPRW.
Outline of Changes to this position
Manage new marketing and advertising opportunities on the waterfront, bringing in new
revenue and improving exposure to waterfront businesses and our facilities.
Supervise and manage full-time, regular Facilities Maintenance Specialist.
Manage and set up capital improvement projects for the Waterfront including obtaining
permits, drafting contracts and budgeting, while following the City’s procurement policies.
Ensure onsite Event Staff, both FT and Seasonal, is compliant with ACT 250 regulations for all
Waterfront Park events. This can be achieved through training and development of onsite
Page 57 of 121
policy. Developing new systems of organization to bridge the gap between management,
operations and maintenance of events for better overall City coordination.
Facilitate meetings and liaison with the City Event organizers to ensure all operational onsite
aspects of Waterfront Event operations are addressed for successful and safe execution of
events.
Benefits of changes to BPRW & City
These changes will positively impact this position, as well as BPRW and the City. After having a
decade of instability at this position (5 managers in 10 years), this reinvestment in the position
reinforces the City’s commitment and acknowledgment to the significant role in revenue
generation this position is responsible for and provides the necessary structural support so that
the Manager can continue to invest and grow Waterfront operations.
BPRW shall benefit by increased revenue opportunities and better coordinated advertising for
local business and existing business partners.
BPRW and Waterfront Facilities will benefit by having the FT Facilities Maintenance Specialist
employee report directly to the Marina Manager & Deputy Harbormaster who is on-site at the
locations where events occur, and docks and related marina facilities are located. The Marina
Manager & Deputy Harbormaster is best suited to direct daily operations, understanding the
Waterfront’s priorities on a daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal basis.
BPRW will benefit by the Marina Manager & Deputy Harbormaster overseeing projects, writing
contracts and obtaining necessary permits, spreading the workload for these time-consuming
tasks outside of the realm of Facilities Maintenance Manager and expanding the capacity of the
Park Planning team. This position will provide significant input and capital planning for the needs
of the waterfront. This will lead to increased efficiency and greater prioritization of the large
backlog of needed projects on the waterfront and enhance our abilities to generate increased
revenues.
BPRW will benefit by improved organization, training, coordination and scheduling of event staff
and their compliance in monitoring sound readings at Waterfront Park by having the Marina
Manager & Deputy Harbormaster oversee these responsibilities. This will lead to a greater level
of professionalism, clearer expectations and improved service to the public and our neighbors
along the waterfront.
BPRW will benefit from improved coordination, communication and on the ground oversight of
events by the Marina Manager & Deputy Harbormaster attending events planning meetings,
both in BPRW and with the greater City Events team. The Marina Manager & Deputy
Harbormaster is well positioned to provide better management to events through knowledge of
the site and the realities of the events in practice.
Financial Impact:
The financial impact of the position reclass is listed below. The funding for this increase is already
planned for in the FY26 BPRW budget in a “compensation contingency” expense line.

Position

Marina Manager & Deputy 18/9 $81,667.34 20/1 84,593.73

In Summary:
The benefits of reclassifying this position are:
A more professionally operated marina and waterfront event site leading to increased usage
which translates to increased revenue.
Better maintained facilities lead to greater facility use, less facility abuse, increasing revenue,
reducing maintenance repairs, and better serving tourists and residents alike.
Better facility and park planning to meet the evolving needs of the Burlington waterfront which
hosts hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world each year.
Greater stability and less turnover in the Marina Manager and Deputy Harbormaster position, of
which they are annually responsible for generating $1.8 million in annual revenues.
Recommended Motion:
To approve and authorize the reclassification of the Marina Manager & Deputy Harbormaster position, a
Regular, Full-time, Exempt, Non-Union, Grade 18, position to a Regular, Full-time, Exempt, Non-Union,
Grade 20, position in the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Waterfront.

Director of Aviation
Date: August 25, 2025
Subject: Reclassification of the position: Deputy Director of Aviation – Business and Strategic
Development (Previously the Deputy Director of Aviation Administration)
Request:
Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport is requesting to reclassify the non-union regular
exempt full-time position previously known as Deputy Director of Aviation – Administration by
expanding it into a new role: Deputy Director of Aviation – Business and Strategic Development.
Executive Summary:
Background:
The Deputy Director of Aviation – Business and Strategic Development, previously titled the Deputy
Director of Aviation Administration, will provide strategic oversight and operational leadership across
all facets of airport business management. This role will report directly to the Director of Aviation and
will be responsible for driving business efficiency, revenue growth, infrastructure development, and
customer experience while ensuring regulatory compliance and financial stewardship. This position
will shape and execute the airport’s strategic vision through establishing policies and procedures at all
levels, including the planning and coordination of business, finance, properties management,
negotiations, contracts, safety and security, and customer service projects at the Airport. The creation
of this role will benefit the leadership team to have an individual dedicated to these items we grow and
develop the Airport as we serve the community together at Leahy BTV. This position is not a newly
created position; however the job description has been edited to better match the expectations of the
role. These additions include the management of all leases and the direct coordination with the
Director of Aviation of new lease negotiations. This position has been vacant for a few years now; in
the absence of someone in this role, the Properties Manager and Customer Experience Manager both
Page 77 of 121
report to the Director of Aviation. The Airport Leadership team will run more efficiently when this
responsibility can be appropriately passed to the Deputy Director, as these positions oversee our
Ambassador and Maintenance workers and require dedicated support to their departments.
While we have posted the previous version of this position in the past, we did not receive an adequate
quantity of applicants to satisfy a competitive application pool. The salary grading of this position
also was not aligned with other leadership roles, with this reclassification, it now better aligns both
from a salary and description standpoint.
Budget:
The changes within this salary are already incorporated within the fiscal year 2026 airport
budget.

Subject: Waterfront Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Audits – Authorization for
State Education Fund Payment
Background:
In 2022 the State of Vermont Auditors Office (SAO) conducted an audit of the City’s Waterfront
Tax Increment Financing (WTF TIF) District. The WTF TIF District audit covered fiscal years
2011-2021. One of the findings for this audit was that the City had underpaid the State Education
Fund. Here are the details associated with this finding for the WTF TIF District:
WTF TIF District:
• Due to an understated Original Taxable Value (OTV) as reported by the City, and as a
result of the New England Municipal Resource Center (NEMRC) software coding
calculation errors from FY2018-2021, the City owes the Education Fund $197,510.
• Payment should be made from the City’s General Fund.
Historic Background of the City’s Response and this Bill:
The WTF TIF District received the SAO’s Audit findings in January 2023. At this point the City
responded that it was going to challenge this payment. In May 2023, previous staff at the
Vermont Economic Progress Council (VEPC) first made the City aware of the process required
to formally contest audit findings. By the end of 2023, VEPC let the City know that it would
require documentation to justify any items it was contesting. However, at this time the City
began experiencing staff turnover in its TIF Administration and no documentation was provided.
VEPC experienced its own staffing transitions which contributed to confusion and delays.
In January 2025, the City Attorney’s office reached out to the State Treasurer’s Office to contest
a large portion of the owed amount, but that office responded noting it had no record of an
outstanding amount due, therefore there was nothing for the City to contest. The City then met
Page 95 of 121
with VEPC in February 2025 to discuss next steps, and VEPC indicated they were tasked with
sending an invoice for the SAO’s recommended amount to the State Treasurer’s Office. The
State Treasurer was then to bill the City directly for the amount owed.
The City finally received this bill from the State Treasurer’s Office in June 2025. Upon receipt
of the bill, the TIF Team and representatives of the City Attorney’s Office further reviewed the
files and realized that notice and an opportunity to contest the SAO’s findings, as required by
statute, had previously had been provided to the City in 2023. Unfortunately, at that time the
City did not contest the findings and now that opportunity has passed and the amount owed must
be paid.
In summary, since the Audit, the City did attempt to contest the findings, but due to staff
turnover (in the City and at VEPC) and lack of timely response for details, staff are now
recommending that the Education Fund Payment be made. Making this payment in a timely
fashion is important as Part I of the WTF TIF has expired and the City expects another State
Audit on WTF TIF in FY26.
o The City will repay the State Ed Fund $197,510 from its General Fund to
resolve the underpayment issues noted in the State’s WTF TIF District
Audit. The final payment of $197,510 will come from the City’s Unassigned
Fund Balance (UAFB). As of the FY24 audit (most recent data available) the
City’s UAFB was $6.15M (7.2% of annual operational costs). Please note that
the Fund Balance Policy requires that the UAFB remains at 5-15% of the City’s
annual operational costs in order to be able to pay for these kinds of unanticipated
expenses. This adjustment will have no impact on the City’s operations, nor
will they trigger a need to increase tax rates.
Future Considerations:
City staff intends to advocate with the State for an improved process related to NEMRC and how
the state works with municipalities on TIF calculations and reporting In the meantime, the City
Assessor has implemented a model that works to ensure accurate calculations for both of the
City’s existing TIF Districts. Ensuring that there is a similar checks and balances system in
place on the state side would ensure more reliable TIF District implementation and monitoring
state wide.
Motions –
Board of Finance:
1. To approve and recommend that the City Council authorize the Chief Administrative
Officer to take all necessary or convenient steps to ensure the repayment of the State
Education Fund in the total amount of $197,510 from the City’s Unassigned Fund
Balance, to resolve the underpayment issues noted in the State’s WTF TIF District Audit.

Re: $2.5M Revenue Anticipation Note
Date: August 25, 2025
Background:
As has been noted previously to these bodies, the Parking Facilities Fund (Fund 265) revenues were
severely reduced, and in fact fell to nothing for many months during COVID. In total, this generated
a loss of approximately $1 million. This operating loss caused the Parking Facilities Fund to not
meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements for its long-term bank loan issued on December
3, 2019. To avoid breaching a condition of our loan and causing a non-compliance issue with our
lender and also potentially a negative effect to the City’s Moody’s credit rating, the City paid off
this $3.5 million loan on June 4, 2021.
In summary:
Parking Fund Balance – start of FY’21 $1.2M
COVID Losses ($1.0M)
Debt Payment ($3.5M)
Deficit ($3.3M)
To handle the $3.3M deficit, in May 2022, the City used $1M of ARPA funds to cover COVID
losses and Board of Finance and City Council approved a $2.5M Revenue Anticipation Note (RAN)
to handle the rest of the debt. This original RAN had a one-year term but was authorized by the
Council in August 2023 to be renewed for an additional year. In August of 2024, this council
authorized another year of interest only payments for another RAN. Given the Parking Facilities
Fund COVID recovery has been slow, the CT office, the Department of Public Works (DPW) and
the City’s financial advisors, recommend renewing the RAN for an additional year. The City is
finalizing details and will select a RAN with an interest rate below 7.5%.
While FY25 numbers are still being finalized, the Parking Facilities Fund is expected to show a net
positive of around $400,000. This positive change, along with an additional one-year note will
allow the CT office and DPW to continue to work on their recovery strategy and multi-year plans
that will position the City to secure a longer-term debt instrument that the Parking Facilities Fund
can sustainably pay off.
Page 101 of 121
The Parking Facilities Fund has budgeted for the required interest payments in the FY26 budget.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
MOTION:
BOF:
To approve and recommend that the City Council waive the reading and to adopt the proposed
resolution approving the renewal of an existing revenue anticipation note for the Parking Facilities
Fund, in an amount not to exceed $2.5 Million and with an interest rate not to exceed 7.5%.
City Council:
To waive the reading and to adopt the proposed resolution approving the renewal of an existing
revenue anticipation note for the Parking Facilities Fund, in an amount not to exceed $2.5 Million
and with an interest rate not to exceed 7.5%.
