Expanding the exisng library saves 2.5 mes as much money as building a joint facility.If expansion of the exisng library is not feasible and a joint facility is necessary, Recreaon Center, Community Center, Library, and Pool programs should share a common entrance/lobby/gallery space.

All rights reserved.Williston Community Center and LibraryTakeawaysCalculaons are based on assumpon of $500/sq  base cost. The comparison between projecons for the dierent schemes is reliable; the actual cost is hugely dependent on the ming of the project(s).

In the public access grouping, the average of the most important” rows showed an even stronger preference for the opon preferred by the overall average. For public access, Joint Complex and Recreaon/Community Center in the Village score higher than their counterparts, while for community, the locaons outside of the Village scored higher. Overall, for public access and community, the highest scores for a recreaon/community center are a Joint Complex in the Village, and Recreaon/Community Center outside the Village. Expand the Exisng Library consistently scored the highest of library opons at 3.8. Taking into account the strong desire from all pares for independent Library and Recreaon/Community facilies and for the Library to be expanded on its exisng site, a joint complex is not desirable. For this reason, the top three choices are Recreaon/Community Center outside the Village, Expand the Exisng Library and Joint Complex Outside the Village. This is consistent with Steering Commiee consensus.

Expanding the exisng library scored signicantly more posively than both a new library outside the village and a new library in the village. Both an individual recreaon/community center and individual library scored higher than a joint facility.

The Town is interested in evaluating the needs for both facilities and understanding if a combined facility is feasible based on the programmatic scope options developed, in conjunction with options for a stand-alone community center and new Library facility, or an addition/ renovation to the existing Library or establishment of a Library branch. All addenda, notices, additional information, etc. will be posted to the Town of Williston website at town.williston.vt.us. All submissions should be emailed to Town Manager Erik Wells at ewells@willistonvt.org no later than 4 PM on Friday, August 5th. 2.0 Background The Town of Williston is a municipality of just over 30 square miles in Chittenden County, Vermont. Just over 10,000 residents call Williston home and the community’s daytime population generally exceeds 20,000 as a regional hub for commerce. Williston has experienced consistent population growth over the past 20 years, a trend that is anticipated to continue in the years to come, especially in the Town’s growth center in Taft Corners. Major State of Vermont Routes 2 and 2A bisect Williston. The Town is located on an interstate interchange (I-89 exit 12) and the Burlington International Airport is in South Burlington to the west. The Town’s motto of “Old Time Charm, New Town Spirit” reflects the intersection of a community grounded in its roots that continues to evolve in the 21st century. Members of the community are engaged in local government and there is a strong level of community pride. Williston has been thoughtfully planned for many years, blending community growth with a commitment to open space and preservation. For example, one could visit an outdoor retailer like LL Bean or REI in the Taft Corners growth center and drive 5 minutes to the east to arrive at the Catamount Community Forest, a 400-acre parcel with hiking, mountain biking and Nordic ski trails available. The concept of a community center is not new to the Town. The topic has been discussed for several years and in 2006 a study was conducted with a task force to examine possible locations and elements to include in such a center. It is a common public facility that is requested for activity and programming space for multi-generational needs in the community. An important part of this project is unpacking the term “community center” and what that encompasses for Williston in terms of what it can offer to the members of the community today and into the future. This will be informed by the community engagement process.

The library was established in the current location in 1960 with a generous donation from Frank Alling as a gift to the community in the name of his late wife Dorothy. The original space was 1,500 sq. ft. in size. By 1980 the population of Williston had increased by 160% since 1960. In 1986, after five years of planning and fundraising, a 3,275 sq. ft. Greek Revival addition was attached to the south side of the library. Williston’s population would nearly double again between 1980 and 2000. Another addition of 5,000 sq. ft. was opened in November of 1998 after the town increased by nearly 100% of its 1980 population. The library space is currently 9,500 sq. ft. after the 1986 and 1998 additions. The Town’s population has increased by just under 2,000 people since the last addition was completed. The library is a community hub with active programming and events. The library serves the 14th largest population in the State and in FY19 ranked 7th in the State for attendance at library programming, hosting over 100 programs. When not in use for library programming, the single community room is heavily used by community members and non-profits for gatherings. Pre-pandemic (FY19), annual patron visits exceeded 60,000. The physical collection contains over 47,000 items which circulate heavily. The library ranked 6th in the State for circulation of physical items in FY19. 3.0 Scope of Work a. Delivery of a final report and presentation to the Selectboard & Library Board of Trustees that examines four primary conceptual options (and any other identified through the study process). Each option outlined should address the pros/cons and feasibility of each in order to assist the Town in selecting a preferred alternative should it wish to move forward with this project. This scope will involve a programmatic analysis for a community center space and a space needs assessment for the library that explores any potential overlap of space needs. Conceptual options to explore include: a. Construction of a joint Community Center and Library b. Construction of a Community Center and a new Library c. Construction of a Community Center and a Library renovation and or/addition d. Construction of a Community Center and a Library branch b. Each conceptual option will be informed by a building space program inclusive of: a. Programmatic elements, construction/ renovation price per square foot (5 year construction date cost projection escalation factor), any new operating costs for each programmatic element (i.e. staffing, insurance, HVAC), new revenue based on programmatic elements. i. The programmatic elements included in the building space program should enable the Town to make an informed financial decision understanding the costs for each element to arrive at a final programmatic scope and space footprint for the preferred alternative. 1. For example, programmatic elements could include meeting/activity room space, gym space, aquatic space, library collections space at varying scales. b. Building Condition Assessment of the existing Dorothy Alling Memorial Library (architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural). c. Feasibility of available space for construction/renovation should be considered in the analysis of each alternative. For example, the scope of any new facility would need to have viable suitable location options in Town and an addition to the library would need to be feasible at its current location of 21 Library Lane. c. A comprehensive community engagement process to receive feedback and input from Williston residents about the elements and uses for community center and library facilities. a. The engagement process should provide many different options to connect with members of the community to ensure all voices have an opportunity to be heard. b. The 2006 Williston Community Center Task Force Report is a reference document to help inform this process to evaluate if the programmatic recommendations of the report have changed in the last 16 years. d. Financing Options a. Identify options for funding such a project for the community examining traditional methods like municipal bonding, fundraising and grants. b. In addition, explore whether any public/private partnerships are feasible for a community space for space management and/or rental with private and/or non-profit entities. e. Project Steering Committee a. The Williston Selectboard has authorized the creation of a Steering Committee to assist with the completion of this project working with the firm selected. The Committee will be staffed by the Town Manager, Library Director & Recreation and Parks Director. Appended to this RFQ is the committee’s charge. b. The Town Manager will award the contract for this project and be the primary point of contact for the firm selected. The intent is to award the contract prior to the Steering Committee being appointed.

Purpose: This temporary committee is established to provide leadership and champion community engagement working with a consultant on a scoping study to evaluate possible programmatic elements in a new community center facility and assessment of the current space and needs of the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library to evaluate possible alternatives for both facilities for future consideration by the Selectboard and Library Board of Trustees. “Programmatic elements” is intended to refer to uses for the facilities, for example meeting/activity space, recreational facilities, accessing the library collection. 2. Background: The Town of Williston has for several years explored in different iterations the prospect of a community center space. The Dorothy Alling Memorial Library has undergone expansions in 1986 and 2000 and is facing space constraints with increased demand for programming, circulation of its collection and patron visits. This study is intended to explore the programmatic options for both spaces, and evaluate several possible alternatives, including a shared facility. This report and evaluation of the possible alternatives is intended to aid the Selectboard and Library Board of Trustees in discussing and evaluating space options for future community facilities. 3. Membership: There shall be seven members of the committee under the following guidelines: 1 (one) member of the Williston Selectboard; 1 (one) member of the Library Board of Trustees; (1) one member of the Recreation & Parks Committee; 4 (four) community members at large appointed by the Selectboard. The representatives from the Selectboard, Library Board of Trustees and Recreation and Parks Committee shall be determined by each body. 4. Staffing: The committee shall be staffed by the Town Manager, Library Director and Recreation and Parks Director, with any additional staff support as deemed necessary. 5. Charge: The Community Center Scoping & Library Assessment Steering Committee shall have the duties and responsibilities as listed below, which may be revised or amended from time to time by the Selectboard. 5.1 Champion community engagement efforts to solicit feedback and comments from community members to aid in the development of possible programmatic elements for consideration. Careful attention should be given to ensure that outreach opportunities are inclusive and widely encompassing to provide the opportunity for all members of the community to provide input in a manner that is easily accessible to them. 5.2 Advise the project consultant on development of possible alternatives for a community center and the library space based on an analysis of possible programmatic elements for inclusion in each space taking the community engagement under advisement while considering possible constraints inclusive of capital/operating costs and availability of suitable location options for new/expanded facilities with square footage required for various programmatic elements. 5.3 Provide periodic updates to the Selectboard and Library Board of Trustees on the Committee’s work. 5.4 Review draft programmatic elements and possible space alternatives and in coordination with the consultant determine pros and cons for each option to produce a report and presentation for the Selectboard and Library Board of Trustees as a final deliverable. 6. Officers: Officers of the Committee shall consist of a chairperson and vice-chairperson selected by a majority vote of the committee. • Chairperson - It will be the duty of the Chairperson to preside at all meetings of the Committee, to appoint sub-committees and to call special meetings of the Committee when needed. In coordination with the Town Manager the Chairperson shall approve the agenda for each meeting of the Committee. • Vice Chairperson - The vice-chairperson will perform the duties of the chairperson in the latter's absence. 7.

A copy of the charge to the task force, and a list of members, appears as Attachment A. Following nearly a year of meetings, testimony, a survey, a public forum, and staff research, the task force has prepared this report as a summary of our findings and recommendations to the Williston selectboard. What is a Community Center?The task force made no initial assumptions about the ‘correct’ form that a community center would take, or the specific needs or populations that should be served. We also kept our discussion of needs and appropriate uses separate from our discussion of necessary or available resources. The task force focused primarily on what type of facility, or facilities, would serve the town best, the best potential locations, and finally, a preliminary estimate of the resources that would be needed to build such a facility and where these resources might come from. Some key principles emerged early in our discussions: • A community center should be more than a collection of meeting rooms; it should serve as a focal point in Williston and should be a source of civic pride. It would serve an existing need in terms of local organizations, but should also attract the community to participate in new programs or activities and should foster community-centered activity. It is not just a building. • A new community center should not be redundant with existing or potentially available facilities, regardless of whether those other facilities are town-owned or not. We should not build a community center unless it will be heavily used. • A community center should be available and accessible to as many members of the community as possible. Partnership opportunities with a business or not-for-profit organization should be considered as long as that partnership does not result in limitations on access (e.g. via membership). • The costs of programming and use should be kept minimal. To achieve this, it will most likely be necessary for the town to assume the ongoing operating costs for a community center. Page 3 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 • The likelihood that taxpayers will be willing to bond for a multimillion dollar facility in the near future is low. It is likely that the capital costs of a community center would need to come from some source other than taxes. What would a Community Center be used for? The task force considered various possible needs, and populations, that would be served by a future community center. We solicited formal testimony from key groups and constituencies as well as informal input via direct conversations, a warned public forum, and a survey conducted on town meeting day. Task force meetings were used to distill these suggestions and input into four general areas of need and specific populations that might be served by a community center: • Senior Citizens: The changing demographics of Vermont are causing a steep increase in the number of seniors involved in community activities. Vermont is among those states that are ‘aging’ most rapidly, due to low birth rates and high emigration of younger residents. We will rank 11th of the 50 states in the fraction of seniors (65 and older) by 2010 and 8th or higher by 2030, when 1 in 4 Vermonters will be 65 or older (cit: U.S. Census Bureau). Nearby towns, including Burlington, South Burlington, Winooski, Colchester and Charlotte have already responded to this trend. The Charlotte Senior Center was discussed at length (and visited) by our task force as a possible example for Williston. We also researched and discussed examples of senior centers in our area that are underutilized or do not function well, and the reasons for their poor utilization.Williston has a vibrant senior community with a number of active senior groups; we already have successful programming for seniors that uses existing facilities of the schools, library, churches, and elsewhere. Typical programming for seniors would require meeting/recreation spaces large (groups of 60 or more) and small (groups of 10-25), kitchen facilities, and dedicated storage space. Seniors also expressed a need for ‘personalized’ space that could be dedicated for their own use if a multifunction or multigenerational facility were created. Accessibility, with a particular focus on adequate nearby parking and access to public transportation, is also extremely important to seniors. • Teens: We heard from multiple sources, including both the community and Williston Recreation department staff, that a teen center should be given high priority. Teens need safe and engaging opportunities to socialize outside the home and school environments; many teens do not regularly participate in sports, music or arts programs, church, or other group activities. Previous efforts by the Williston Recreation department to reach this population have been quite successful but were constrained by a lack of dedicated, personalized space and limited staffing. Space would be needed for regular programming, recreation, and unprogrammed meeting areas that would be dedicated explicitly to teens. Kitchen Page 4 of 38

The task force members and most of those we heard from in the community supported the concept of a multigenerational facility that would serve both groups. • Structured Recreation: A third major need the task force identified was for additional indoor recreation space. This might include a pool, indoor courts, and multifunction spaces that could be used for a variety of programming (dance, aerobics, martial arts, etc.). Many towns have created community centers that include indoor recreation facilities; some larger communities (e.g. Marlboro Mass., need another example here-ask Randy) have created highly successful ‘rec-plex’ facilities (large, commercial indoor athletic complexes that draw participants regionally). Williston has already identified in our recent 5-year Comprehensive Plan a lack of structured recreational facilities as a serious deficiency that should be given a high priority (we note that among Williston Recreation department staff and the town Recreation committee, a teen center was prioritized over additional structured recreation?). Williston’s existing indoor athletic facilities, including both public and private, are heavily utilized and number far fewer than would normally be considered adequate for a town of Williston’s size (see Attachment G). The ideal location would be close to schools and neighborhoods, and preferably close to existing outdoor recreational fields or parks, with excellent pedestrian access via both sidewalks and the rec path.Potential partnership with the business community, including not-for-profit organizations (e.g. YMCA, Catamount) were investigated by the task force. These are discussed in more detail in Attachment H. • Cultural Activities: A fourth major area that was discussed by the task force encompasses cultural activities, in particular the performing arts (music, dance, drama, etc.). The primary physical need would be for an indoor performance venue that could also be used for large meetings, lectures, or other gatherings; studio arts (painting, sculpture, photography, etc.) might also be supported at a cultural center through inclusion of working studio spaces and indoor gallery areas available for shows. The task force gave a cultural center the lowest priority among the 4 major areas we considered, in part because of a lack of enthusiasm for the idea of a publicly-run cultural center. Other successful examples we could identify (e.g. the Flynn Center, Vergennes Opera House) are primarily run as private, not-for-profit entities where the widest possible inclusion and community involvement are not part of their mission. Also, many have been leveraged by the presence of a historic theater, church, or other building that was ripe for restoration; the task force could think of no comparable opportunity in Williston. The task force concluded that the idea of a cultural center would best be pursued as a private or philanthropic venture, rather than a public project.Page 5 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 The task force recommends that, if a community center is pursued, the focus should be on the needs of 1) seniors and 2) teens—potentially through a multigenerational, multifunction facility. Because of the current demand, probability of heavy utilization, and anticipated increase in future needs due to changing demographics, a senior center was given the highest priority overall.Does Williston really need a Community Center? The task force collected information from direct interviews, informal discussion, a survey, a public hearing, and numerous private conversations with interested citizens. In general, this input can be summarized by saying that many people in Williston would like a Community Center if it was built and did not increase their taxes, but far fewer would be willing to pay for one at the present time. Some feel that, regardless of who pays, it would not be justified yet because of existing, available space. The short answer to this question is:The task force concluded that there is not a pressing need at the present time, but within 5-10 years the town will need to respond—particularly to the needs of senior citizens. Because the planning, fundraising, and construction process may take 3-5 years or more, the task force recommends that the process begin now.An inventory of current community space in Williston for these types of activities (see Attachment D) showed that more space is available than most groups realize, although much of it is not optimal for their needs—no kitchen space, no storage, or uncertain long-term availability. The existing spaces are shared and cannot be personalized, a priority particularly for the teen population but also requested by senior groups. Very few groups we heard from told us that they couldn’t find a space to meet regularly, although most acknowledged the space they are now using is not ideal. Some groups meet in homes, and others meet outside Williston, but many are using the existing space at our schools, churches, the Old Brick Church, the Town Hall, the armory, and other private facilities—for example, the American Cancer Society boardroom at Maple Tree Place. Meeting rooms that have only recently become available at the new fire and police stations are already heavily scheduled, including use by outside organizations, suggesting that high quality, multifunction space in a new community center is likely to be used if it were built. In our discussions, we also discovered that several potential community spaces are underutilized and the owners would be receptive to more regular use for community functions (e.g. the Williston Armory—see Attachment H for more details). We heard about important opportunities for the town that will need to be investigated further, such as a potential partnership focused on structured or outdoor recreation with the Catamount Family Center, and the likely creation of dazzling facilities by the Essex Alliance Church near the Meadow Run development off 2A that would be potentially available for community uses. It was beyond the charge of our task force to determine the full extent, implications and details of either opportunity; later in this report, the task Page 6 of 38

Overall, it was the conclusion of the task force that much of the immediate (1-5 year) need can probably be met by existing community facilities. A historical lack of centralized information, and inconvenient processes for access and scheduling, may be as much or more of a problem in the short term than a lack of actual community facilities.Town staff are now in the process of implementing a web-based reservation system for many facilities that will streamline access at least to the town-operated sites. However, the task force concluded that longer term (5-10 year) needs, particularly among seniors, will not be served adequately without the creation of additional, town-run facilities. The task force also noted that a facility for teens, while a somewhat lower priority for this task force than a facility serving seniors, is today a very high priority for the the Williston Rec Committee, which places a teen center above new structured recreation facilities in their wish list. What is the best location for a Community Center in Williston? The task force was not unanimous on the issue of preferred locations. Our differences mirrored the feedback we received informally from the community, in the warned public hearing, and from town staff. We feel that the primary question is whether a community center should be located in the identifiable historic ‘heart’ of Williston, or instead located nearer to the emerging ‘center of gravity’ and population growth at Tafts Corners. The answer to this question also depends on the type of facility that might be built—for example, while structured recreation might thrive in a partnership with the Catamount Family Center on the northeastern outskirts of the village, most felt that this would not be ideal for a senior or multigenerational center due to the lack of likely future access to public transportation.A variety of specific locations were considered, and further discussion, pros/cons, and details of each of these locations is included in Attachment H. The list of possible sites that received the most discussion included: Village: Lyons Property, behind the Town Hall Town Green, joined with the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library Old Brick Church, either joined to the existing or converted WCS property, near the athletic fields Armory Tafts Corners: Maple Tree Place, town owned land Finney Crossing Other Sites Page 7 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 Allen Brook School, revising the original ‘bookmatch’ design Catamount Family Center Essex Alliance Church, as proposed for the Brandywine site After much debate, the Task Force concluded that the most appropriate location for a community center would be within the historic Williston village. The benefits of a village location include its proximity to the town’s largest school, the library, town offices, the Old Brick Church, and the police station. The addition of another town facility here would enhance the ‘campus like’ atmosphere of the village and would create opportunities for events or activities that might require several facilities to host them. This location would also support the strong sense of community and ‘place’ that already exists within the village but has yet to be established at Tafts Corners. Furthermore, Williston’s Comprehensive Plan emphasizes the importance of the historic village as a priority location for future community facilities. A number of large neighborhoods have access to the village via sidewalk or the bike path, and the extension of Route 2 bus service would provide public transportation to the village from the west end of town.There are current possibilities for shared parking and adequate infrastructure (sewer/water) exists within the village. When considering the use of a community center by teens, the somewhat ‘sheltered’ environment of the village is a plus from a parental perspective. Finally, the Task Force was persuaded by the intangible notion of the village as the ‘heart’ of the community.How much would a Community Center cost? Based on the conclusions of this report, some form of community center that addresses the needs of senior citizens, and possibly also teens, will be needed in Williston in the near future, perhaps 5 years ahead. Our research into the specific needs of these groups suggests that shared open meeting rooms—large and small—as well as storage, kitchen, and dedicated ‘personalized’ space (as opposed to shared space) for at least the primary population will be needed. By comparing these needs to known facilities in Williston, and comparable centers elsewhere, we estimate that 3000 s.f. would be needed per group; a minimum of 3000 s.f. might be needed for a senior center and up to 6000 s.f. for an optimal multigenerational/multifunction facility—the task force’s preferred solution. A very rough estimate of construction costs from members of the task force familiar with this type of construction suggests that $200-300 per s.f., or at least $600,000 per group, would be needed for construction. This assumes that the overall quality of the facility would be high, and would allow for reasonably attractive finish, landscaping, etc., that would be consistent with the historic village and the concept of an ‘attraction’ rather than just another building. Overall, the task force felt it would be safe to plan on a cost of $1.5 - 2 million if built today. A more accurate cost estimate would depend on variables that cannot be further refined without more specifics about the site, size, and purpose of the center. Page 8 of 38

72 BLACK RIVER DESIGN, architectsback to table of contentsWilliston Community Center and Library Feasibility StudyOctober 26, 2023Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 Variables that we can’t predict could have a profound influence on the final cost and timing. If the Lyons property were chosen, for example, the cost of acquiring property would be saved but site development costs would be unpredictable and might be very high due to wetland or other factors that have been a concern with this site for many years. We discussed the possibility of leased space, most likely at a Tafts Corners site, but since the task force eventually agreed on a village location, cost estimates for leasing were not pursued. Redevelopment of the Dorothy Alling Library site was another alternative we discussed, either via lateral expansion or by extending the current library structure to 2 stories (or some combination of both). There was enthusiasm for combining senior and teen center programming with library activities if possible. The task force felt an ideal solution would be a combined initiative that might allow necessary expansion of the library to be done in conjunction with the construction of a new community center—either by combining them at a single location, or by swapping village sites (e.g. building a new, expanded library on the Lyons property, and using the existing library for a community center). A senior engineer on the task force assured us that expansion of the existing library—either outward or upward to accommodate the community center—would be possible for construction costs comparable to those estimated above, noting however that the cost of ALSO expanding library facilities in a single project likely would result in a higher price tag. We liked this option also because one of our key starting assumptions was that the town would need to assume the costs of staffing for a community center to keep it accessible, and a combined central location that included an expanded library might offer operating cost savings for both in the long term. Parking and circulation would be a problem with this location, and a redesign of the green, school parking and circulation might be necessary and would add to the overall cost. Nevertheless, the task force felt that several of those improvements are necessary already and may need to be addressed eventually regardless of whether a community center is built. Of all options and sites considered, an option involving joint expansion of the existing library and creation of a new community center—either on one site or by a swap—was preferred by a majority of task force members. We note that the enthusiasm for this option was based partly on the group’s preference for locating a community center within the village center, but also on the imminent need for future expansion of the library and ‘ideal’ overlap among potential programming and staffing. Had more information been available about the suitability of the Lyons property for development, and town plans for development of that property (e.g. affordable housing), this location might have been given equal or higher priority to the library/green location. The task force was potentially enthusiastic about any combination of these sites, or combination of new construction or renovation to existing facilities, that might address both needs and keep these important resources within the village center. Without more detail—both about the preferred sites, and the proposed construction—it is unlikely that a more accurate estimate of the costs to build a community center can be given. The task force estimates that $1.5 - 2 million should be the target, given the needs and options we considered. Page 9 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 How should a Community Center be funded? Of the areas we were charged to report on, the task force spent the least time on this topic. Our early discussions led us to the unanimous feeling that Williston taxpayers are unlikely to approve a bond for a community center at this time, given the response to recent construction of the police and fire stations and narrow success in getting school and town budgets passed. This conclusion was confirmed in private conversations and in our public hearing. The task force is unanimous in feeling that the capital construction costs for a community center, if it were built now or in the near future, should not come from taxes. We recognize, however, that the community’s willingness to borrow money to pay for a project of this nature could be quite different in 5 years and should be reassessed at that time any project is begun. The public might also be much more receptive to funding a joint project involving library expansion combined with a community center, or to paying from taxes the remaining costs of a project that was ‘kickstarted’ by a development campaign involving several large personal or corporate contributors.The task force is also unanimous in feeling that the ongoing operating costs of a community center would need to be assumed, or heavily subsidized, by the town. Briefly stated, the costs to users need to be minimal-to-modest or utilization will be low and the center could fail. It was also a key principle for the task force that access should be as broad as possible. For example, we heard that the costs to seniors to take courses or register in programs run now at the Williston library, or by rec staff, are modest and cover primarily the materials used with a minimal allowance to hire the instructor. Overhead for the facility, as well as ongoing staffing costs for scheduling, supervision, custodial services, etc., are not passed back to the participants.We heard also from town staff that the demands of programming and scheduling—for the time being—can be accommodated by existing staff, but a significant increase in staffing would probably be required if a full time senior or teen center were created. Centers that are truly successful—e.g. the Charlotte Senior Center—typically have a dynamic staff person as well as highly committed community volunteers who maintain the high quality of the programs and ‘momentum’ needed for the facility to be an attraction. The task force concluded that the costs of staffing a future Williston community center cannot be fully absorbed by existing budgets and staffing. Some savings might be realized in a combined facility. The task force spent minimal time considering whether raising $1.5 – 2 million for a community center in Williston through donations was feasible. In part, it is impossible to evaluate whether people might support ‘it’ if we aren’t sure what ‘it’ really would be. For example, donors willing to give toward structured recreation, or a cultural center, might not be willing to give toward a senior center. Lead donors (those committing major gifts up front, to kickstart the campaign)—particularly if naming was an option—would almost certainly have strong opinions about what type of center they were Page 10 of 38

It was beyond the scope of the committee’s time and resources to test whether lead donors or grassroots support would be sufficient in our community.We also solicited the opinion of Andrea Rogers, the Executive Director of the Flynn Center and a seasoned fundraiser in the area. She felt that the key to a successful campaign for a community center in Williston would be a very clear definition of the goal, and a very careful assessment of community support for that goal before any solicitation begins. She advised hiring a development consultant to guide the campaign early on, including the initial assessment of potential and to help clarify and define the goals. Her gut feeling was that, even with lead donors identified and business participation, it would be difficult in a town the size of Williston to raise more than $2M for a community center and that this would require a campaign of 3 years or perhaps more, depending on the size of the lead gifts. She also strongly cautioned that capital costs for a new activity like this typically pale in comparison to long term operating costs, and a successful campaign to raise construction costs would by no means guarantee a successful center—substantial ongoing investment in staffing and programming are needed. No lead donors were identified in our discussions, although most members of the task force felt that the business and private community would be receptive and had not yet been tapped. Finally, the topic of partnering with businesses was discussed at some length by the task force. The task force agreed that partnering a community center with a likeminded organization, and/or an existing space, might serve the following important purposes: • maximize resources related to initial construction as well as operating expenses and staffing • increase the odds of a fully utilized facility • capitalize on mutual needs and relationships • minimize the environmental impact of a facility When and if plans proceed, the task force believes that opportunities for partnerships can be explored at that time. This concept might be more viable, for example, with structured recreation (e.g. with Catamount Family Center) or possibly a teen/youth center (e.g with the YMCA or the Essex Alliance Church). There are obvious drawbacks to some partnerships, notably that if paid membership is required this could be seen to exclude many residents. An obvious concern with a church partnership would be issues of separation of church and government; the task force believes that the latter would best be addressed by the selectboard in direct conversations with Alliance church leaders. Our initial discussion with Mr. Jeff Kolok from the Alliance church suggest that the church members and leadership are eager to support their community, are well aware of the town’s concerns about possible conflicts, and may be very open minded in these discussions.Based on our interviews, some possible business or not-for-profit partners that might be considered in the future are described in Attachment H. Page 11 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 What are the specific Recommendations of the Task Force? The following is a summary of the primary conclusions and recommendations of the Williston Community Center task force: • The task force recommends that, if a community center is pursued, the focus should be on the needs of 1) seniors and 2) teens—potentially through a multigenerational, multifunction facility. Because of the current demand, probability of heavy utilization, and anticipated increase in future needs due to changing demographics, a senior center was given the highest priority overall. • It was the conclusion of the task force that much of the immediate (1-5 year) need can probably be met by existing community facilities. However, the task force concluded that longer term (5-10 year) needs, particularly among seniors, will not be served adequately without the creation of additional, town-run facilities. The task force recommends that the selectboard plan accordingly. • The task force concluded that the most appropriate location for a community center would be within the historic Williston village. Acceptable sites include the town green/library, the Lyons property, the Old Brick Church, or near the WCS athletic fields. Further specifics of options we discussed for these sites are presented later in this report. • The task force also agreed that if a cost-effective opportunity becomes available, it would be preferable to use/renovate/revitalize/conserve an existing structurerather than create an entirely new one. For example, the armory is an ideal location and adequate structure--this was not felt to be a realistic option at this time, but would have been given a very high priority if the potential barriers to acquisition of this site were smaller. • The solution preferred by a majority of task force members would involve—perhaps starting 3-5 years from today—some combination of library expansion, redesign of the green, and construction of a community center utilizing either the current Dorothy Alling library site, or a combination also involving the Lyons property.• The task force recommends that, if a community center is built to serve seniors, teens, or as a multigenerational center, it should be between 3000 s.f. and 6000 s.f. We should assume this facility would cost between $1.5 - 2 million if built today.• The task force unanimously feels that the capital construction costs for a community center, if it were built now or in the near future, should not come Page 12 of 38

This might change in as few as 3-5 years. If a fundraising campaign is initiated, we advise that the town hire an appropriate development consultant to help clarify goals and guide the campaign. • The task force is also unanimous in feeling that the ongoing operating costs of a community center would need to be assumed, or heavily subsidized, by the town.• The task force concluded that the costs of operating and staffing a future Williston community center cannot be fully absorbed by existing budgets and staffing. Some savings might be realized in a combined facility (e.g. a multi-level library/community center). • The task force recommends that structured recreation should be pursued independently and not conjoined with the Community Center concept.Opportunities for the town to partner in this regard with the Catamount Family Center should be explored by the Selectboard or its designees (e.g. planning staff). • The task force also recommends that the Selectboard meet directly with representatives of the Essex Alliance Church to explore possible community uses of the facilities they expect to build, and to proactively discuss concerns or conflicts that could arise from this public-private partnership. • We also recommend that town staff explore further use of the Williston Armory. This space is ideal for many community activities, appears to be underutilized, and those in charge of the facility indicate they are receptive to greater use by the community.Page 13 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 Attachment A1 – Task Force Charge Charge to the Williston Community Center Task Force Purpose:To assess the need for a community center, analyze potential locations, develop preliminary cost estimates and evaluate the potential for private contributions. Background:In a Recreation Needs Summary, most of the needs identified in the Summary, are met in part with the existing town facilities. One type of facility identified as a need in Williston, is a place for teens and seniors to meet and participate in programs. Anecdotally many people have spoken about the need for some form of indoor community center that can serve a range of community functions. There are some indications that private financing might be available to fund a portion of the project costs. Membership:Membership on the Community Center Task Force shall consist of the following to be appointed by the Williston Selectboard: 1 member from the Selectboard 3 representatives from the community at large 1 representative from the Recreation Committee The Town Manager and staff will provide support to the Task Force, as needed. Charge:The Community Center Task Force is charged with the task of conducting a needs assessment for a community center. This assessment should address the following issues: research facilities available in other communities, check with local community groups to assess interest, identify potential uses, estimate the potential size of a building, identify potential private sources for contributions, identify potential grant resources, estimate potential costs and identify potential sites. Once the Task Force has completed its assessment, a written report shall be presented to the Selectboard for their review and consideration. This report should be provided to the Selectboard by June 2007. Approved by Selectboard: November 20, 2006 Page 14 of 38

Persons Interviewed: The Task Force met with Andy Bishop from the Catamount Family Center, Marti Fiske Director of the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library, Lt. Colonel Robert Gingras of the Vermont National Guard/Armory, Sharon Gutwin owner of the Rehab Gym, Jeff Kolok of the Essex Alliance Church, Town Planner Lee Nellis, Principal John Turko of the Allen Brook School, and Tim Rollings and Mary Burns of the YMCA. Andrea Rogers, the Executive Director of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, was interviewed by phone.2. Places Visited: Neil Boyden and Kevin Finnegan visited the Charlotte Senior Center, the Williston Woods Community Center, the Colchester Senior Center, and the Champlain Senior Center (McClure Multi-Generational Center). They gathered data on each centers’ size, amenities, activities, finances, etc. (See Attachment D – Places Visited). 3. Informal Exchanges: Task Force members had informal conversations with representatives of various community groups, town residents, professional colleagues, and individuals affiliated with community centers locally and regionally. 4. Town Meeting Day Survey: As part of a University of Vermont math class, Williston resident, Karla Karstens, and her students designed and conducted a Williston Community Center Survey (See Attachment F – Town Meeting Day Survey) to assess support for, and possible uses of, a community center. On March 5 and 6, 2007, the students were able to convince 261 people from the pool of 1,664 voters to complete a survey. The majority of those surveyed, 85%, were in favor of building a multi-purpose community center. However, the class noted that many people declined to participate in the survey because they didn’t support further construction and expressed tax-related concerns.5. Task Force Survey: The Task Force developed a survey to assess the space needs of Williston Community groups (See Attachment E). The survey was announced by way of a letter to the editor in the Williston Observer, and was available on-line, by phone, through the Williston Recreation Department, and at the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library. There were no respondents to the survey. 6. Open Forum: On May 9, the Task Force held an open forum at the Town Hall inviting comment from individuals and groups. Approximately 15 individuals attended the Page 16 of 38

Task force members met with community members to hear and discuss their ideas and to take testimony on their concerns, needs, and preferences. The meeting was attended by approximately 12-15 community members. Public solicitation for this meeting was done through a letter in the Williston Observer as well as word of mouth from task force members and town staff. The letter from the task force was published in the Williston Observer approximately 2 weeks before, describing the process and soliciting participation and input.Page 21 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 Attachment F1 – Town Meeting Day 2007 Survey - InstrumentAssistance designing and implementing this survey, and all analysis and summarization of data, was done under the supervision of Prof. Karla Karstens of the UVM mathematics department as part of a UVM mathematics and statistics class she teaches. Karla enlisted the help of UVM students taking her class in conducting the survey, which was offered to people as they exited the Williston polling facility on town meeting day. Participation was voluntary, and was limited to those who showed up to vote that day, so may not be completely representative of overall public opinion. However the task force felt this was nevertheless very valuable. We sincerely appreciate Karla’s help and would like to thank her and the UVM students who participated for their efforts. --------------------------------------------------------------WILLISTON COMMUNITY CENTER SURVEY PLEASE COMPLETE ONLY ONE SURVEY PER HOUSEHOLD 1.

The survey also assessed interest in potential uses of the Community Center.The surveying was done in conjunction with Town Meeting and the voting on town and school budgets. Also on the ballot that day was a question on instituting a town ambulance service. While the town and CVU budget passed, the ambulance service and the local Williston school budget did not. The mood of many voters seemed to be one of fiscal responsibility and no new initiatives that would increase taxes. The students were able to convince 261 people, out of 1,664 voters that day, to fill out a survey and share their thoughts on the Community Center. It should be noted, however, that many people who did not fill out the survey declined because they didn’t think the town needed any new buildings, especially ones that would increase taxes. This observation should be considered when looking at the survey results. Highlights of the survey responses: • The majority of those surveyed, 85%, are in favor of building a Multi-Purpose Community Center. • Those who own their homes and families with children were more likely to be in favor of the Community Center. • Space for Seniors and Teens were considered the most necessary use for the Community Center. • The age group most represented by the survey is those residents 46 – 59 years old.

The town will also begin discussions of the need for an indoor recreation center. Note that parks are covered in Appendix C—Open Space and Working Landscapes Plan. Williston provides numerous recreation programs, outdoor and indoor. A summary of those programs appears in table 7.b. The Parks and Recreation Committee has identified a need for an indoor recreation facility. Such a building (or buildings) could include a gym and multi-purpose space that would provide space for many of the programs listed in table 7.b, and others. An ice skating rink and a swimming pool would be desirable additions to an indoor facility.1Appendix C - 3.2 Meet the Need for Additional Community Park Development.Williston’s community parks include approximately 38 acres that are developed for recreational use. This amounts to about 4.6 acres per 1,000 population. After considering the local demand for developed park space, the presence of neighborhood parks, the area available for passive recreation in the town’s country parks, the growing system of paths and trail, and the private recreational opportunities that are available, Williston’s Parks and Recreation Committee has set a level of service standard of 6.5 acres per 1,000 persons. this means that: • An additional 15.5 acres of developed park space is needed to serve the existing population • 10–12 more acres of developed park space will be needed to serve the approximately 785 new dwellings that will be added over the next ten years. These figures will be refined in the study called for in 3.4, but the town does have undeveloped land available for development at the Allen brook (including the adjacent Mahan Farm property), Brennan, and Central school parks. The more important question is how that space should be developed. The parks and recreation Committee and planning commission have identified the following needs: 2 multiuse fields; 1 baseball diamond; 1 Little League/softball diamond; 1 full size public basketball court; 1 picnic shelter; a skate park; and a dog park. As noted in the comprehensive plan (see 7.6), the parks and recreation Committee has also identified a need for indoor recreation facilities, including a gym, an ice skating arena, a swimming pool, a teen center, a senior center, and a preschool center.21 Town of Williston, Comprehensive Plan 2006, Chapter 7: Public Facilities, section 6: Recreation2 Town of Williston, Comprehensive Plan 2006, Appendix C: Open Space and Working Landscapes Plan, section 3.2: Meet the Need for Additional Community Park Development Page 34 of 38

Allen Brook School: The task force met with Principal John Turko, who shared initial plans relative to an expansion of the Allen Brook School (ABS). He noted the school administration’s perceived need to add approximately eight classrooms to ABS, with a potential bond vote in 2009. Mr. Turko welcomed the possibility of the inclusion of a community center in the ABS expansion. This is an excellent location with reasonable accessibility from both the village neighborhoods as well as the Taft Corners’ region. Its location at the school would almost ensure that it was heavily utilized and, with proper design, multi-generational. The Task Force believes this is a potential worth pursuing if a village location is not possible. The Armory: The Armory’s location and amenities make it an ideal candidate for consideration. Unfortunately, even after a very useful and candid meeting between the task force and a senior member of the Vermont National Guard, much about the future of this facility and its utilization cannot be predicted.Lt. Colonel Robert Gingras met with the task force and explained that the Williston Armory figures prominently in the Vermont National Guard’s (VNG) long-term plans. At minimum, the VNG would need 16 acres and approximately $10,000,000 to build a replacement facility that meets current standards. Even if these resources were available, there are other Vermont armories that are in poorer condition than the Williston Armory, and they would be higher on the VNG’s priority list for replacement. The VNG is unlikely to prioritize replacement of this facility soon, and according to Lt.Col. Gingras, the central location of this facility is very nearly ideal for many purposes. In spite of this, he conceded that other VNG facilities around the state have sometimes reverted to town uses following political pressure. He felt that priorities often change as the VNG’s mission changes and that the changing mission of the national guard is a subject of some discussion.Although the task force was enthusiastic about this location, and felt the armory facility could easily meet the community’s needs in a number of ways, the political entanglements and potentially protracted process that might be required to liberate it from VNG use were a major concern. At this time, the task force does not believe this is an option worth pursuing for a community center, as it would likely involve extensive discussions and would also displace a valuable member of our community (the VNG) from a site it is very happy with. The armory suits the VNG’s needs well, and the VNG has extensive previous experience in being ‘evicted’ or otherwise moved from sites that it has established and maintained for years. However, Lt. Col. Gingras did express a willingness to entertain the notion of hosting particular community events at the armory, and possibly increased levels of community use, so the Recreation Department and other town staff should consider expanding their relationship with our neighbors at the armory. Page 35 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 One recommendation of the task force is to aggressively pursue these discussions; the VNG is both community-oriented and eager to avoid political pressure to be moved elsewhere. It is very likely that requests for increased utilization of this facility would be met favorably and could lead to a more active relationship with the VNG around community events held at the armory. Catamount Family Center: Andy Bishop shared the Catamount Family Center’s expansion plans with the task force. These plans include a conceptual ‘magic building’ that would be multi-purpose in nature, and might meet the needs of a community center. A Catamount location also offers the benefit of a multitude of outdoor recreational offerings – similar to a more ‘European style’ community center. The drawbacks of a partnership with Catamount include its out-of-the-way location, and the serious expansion hurdles yet to be cleared relative to zoning, and extension of town sewer and water service to the site. The plans are also in the very early stages and subject to many possible changes or pressures in the next few years. The Task Force does not believe this is a potential worth pursuing at this time for a community center, although some level of partnership or sharing should be discussed in terms of future structured recreation needs in Williston. If plans for a community center are shelved for a period of time, however, and the Catamount expansion proceeds, a partnership may well be worth considering in the future.Dorothy Alling Memorial Library: The library is currently functioning as a multi-purpose, multi-generational facility, serving both seniors and teens as well as other community groups. Library Director, Marti Fiske, met with the task force and expressed her desire to expand programming and services, but noted the physical limitations of the current space and her belief that the existing library could not accommodate further expansion. The task force was very impressed with the extent, quality and success of current programming and felt that this is a natural partnership and location if a future senior or teen center were built. Such a partnership could take advantage of library resources, and might leverage increased use and staffing for both entities. Drawing on his significant engineering expertise, Carroll Lawes expressed a belief that the library could be expanded, possibly to include a second story. This possibility was discussed at some length, including the idea of a redesign of circulation, parking, and green space including the WCS, library and town green. The Task Force believes this is a potential worth pursuing; this option was a favorite among several members and by consensus was one of the top 3 possible sites. One recommendation of the task force is that an engineering consultation be sought to determine the cost and suitability of this site, and the library facility, for proposed expansion and redesign.Essex Alliance Church/Williston Site: Jeff Kolok of the Essex Alliance Church met with the task force and shared plans for their proposed Williston site. The proposed facilities are remarkable, and include one major and three modest auditoriums, an industrial kitchen, a gymnasium, multiple classrooms and meeting rooms, generous internet connectivity, an atrium/coffee bar, an outdoor basketball court, and a soccer field. The church has a history of making its facilities available to a variety of community groups, and Mr. Kolok expressed the church’s sincere desire to play a responsible and active role Page 36 of 38

He also noted that while their facilities are heavily utilized on Sunday, for the balance of the week, the space is relatively unused; the Alliance Church focuses the vast majority of all religious services, classes, youth and teen groups, and other activities on Sunday. Mr. Kolok invited the town to present the church with an articulation of recreational and community needs they might fill and felt that church leaders would be open to discussion of possibilities. Clearly, access to such facilities would be of great benefit to the residents of Williston, and would meet most, if not all of the needs of a community center. However, the committee recognizes that some citizens would question the notion of separation between church and state if such a partnership were to be formed. At the same time, the Task Force also notes the unquestioned use of the Federated Church facility for a number of community activities. The Task Force believes that the review and permitting process relative to the church move forward separate and apart from any conversation related to a potential community center partnership. However, given the remarkable opportunity for Williston residents to take advantage of these impressive facilities, the task force recommends that conversations begin now to establish relationships and lay the foundation for eventual use of the facilities in some form, and at the very least to explore the Church leadership’s response to concerns of separation of church and government. If the approval process moves forward as planned, it is estimated that the facilities will be completed in 2011. The Lyons Property: The Lyons property would be a good, central site for a community center. As already town-owned property, it would reduce the cost of construction somewhat. It would provide easy access for many residents, and opportunities for shared parking and services. A survey and analysis of the land’s soils is currently underway, and more detail in this area is necessary before we can determine whether or not building here is even possible. This site would be high on the list of the task force if more were known about it, as it is nearly an ideal location. This site was not given high priority, however, primarily because of the unknowns of the site and potential for alternative or competing uses (e.g. affordable housing). This was felt to be an ideal location and, if development and site work costs were not excessive, could be an ideal solution to bridge future community center/library needs.Maple Tree Place: The Task Force considered the use of the land the town owns at Maple Tree Place. The retail district of Williston is the area in town that is, perhaps, least conducive to building community among Williston residents. In addition, some task Force members questioned the comfort parents would have leaving teens unsupervised in this area of town. The Task Force did not believe that building a community center at Maple Tree Place was an idea worth pursing, in part because this site may have higher overhead costs and would be more valuable as a site for retail or other central services. However, depending on the restrictions governing the use the land, selling it, and using the proceeds to create a community center is a possibility worth consideration. The Old Brick Church: The Task Force was unanimous in feeling that this site is an ideal location, and that the current building is a major landmark and important town resource that is woefully under-utilized. This building is similar to ones in other towns (e.g. the Richmond Library) that are centrally located and have been converted to modern uses Page 37 of 38Final Report of the Williston Community Center Task Force November 1, 2007 without destroying their aesthetic or historic appeal. The task force discussed at some length the various ways that use of this facility might be increased to accommodate various community needs identified in our process. Because of the lack of parking, accessibility, kitchen facilities, storage space, and open ‘multi-use’ space, the building as it sits now is not particularly useful except for small group meetings (basement), and weddings or religious services that use the sanctuary. The task force debated the pros and cons, and engineering challenges,that would be involved in renovating e.g. the basement area to be larger and more accessible, with adequate plumbing and kitchen facilities. It was agreed that this would both a complex engineering project as well as a politically and aesthetically sensitive option due to the historic nature of the building. Removal of pews and conversion of the sanctuary to a more modern multi-function space was not felt to be an attractive option, given that the Brick Church has already undergone period restoration, although this has been done elsewhere very effectively (e.g. Richmond Library). Some task force members felt that, in spite of the sensitivity of this site, discussion of this option should still be explored at least in public forum before this site is discounted as a viable option.Business Community/Rehab Gym: The Task Force met with Sharon Gutwin, owner of the Rehab Gym, to explore her reaction to the general possibilities and considerations of a public/private community center partnership—for example, the idea of a shared pool or other structured recreation created and maintained in partnership with a for-profit business like the Rehab Gym. Ms. Gutwin expressed her support of the concept, despite the fact that the conversations were necessarily preliminary and vague. The Task Force is of the opinion that if a ‘new build’ for a community center is proposed, a public/private partnership that will generate revenue to support the facility deserves consideration in spite of possible conflicts. Businesses whose customers are seniors and/or teens might include physical therapists, optometrists, dentists, and orthodontists. The YMCA: The task force met with Tim Rollings and Mary Burns, who explained that the YMCA is actively seeking an expansion site and has long considered Williston a prime location. While he did not have specific plans for a Williston facility, he shared a representative model. The generic facility shown would meet many of the needs of a community center. However, it is the view of the Task Force that a partnership with the YMCA would be likely to be based on formalized memberships, and would not necessarily support more casual opportunities for community members to come together. That, coupled with the fact that the plans are so conceptual in nature, lead the Task Force to believe that this is not an opportunity worth pursuing at this time. However, if the plans for a community center are shelved for some time, a partnership may well be worth considering in the future.Page 38 of 38

A Steering Committee composed of members of the community,representatives of the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library and the Town of Willistonrecreation Department were guided by Mellisa Cain of Iceberg Consulting, LLC indeveloping and conducting a two prong survey of Williston residents to understand theneeds and wants of a new community center.The Goals● Understand the needs and wants of of a community space from the residents ofWilliston through conducting surveys with community members.● Focus on reaching the broadest range of the population as possible in terms of ageand background.● Broad outreach; meet people where they are and not expect people to come to thesurvey.ProcessThe Steering Committee met twice a month from December 2022 to May 2023, guided byMs. Cain:● form goals for the Committee;● learn about the facilities and programs of the Recreation department and theDorothy Alling Memorial Library by visiting both and chatting with staff bothformally and informally;● Review best practices for conducting surveys with community members● Create an outreach plan;● Design a survey to collect data from residents of the Town of Williston;● Carry out Phase 1 of the Survey through interviews, focus groups and pop-up events;● Assist in outreach for Phase 2 of the survey which wasconducted online.Using best practices for community surveys, the Williston Community Spaces Survey wasbroken into two phases to allow for the broadest collection of data to be collected.Phase 1 was an open ended survey of Williston residents conducted by Steering Committeemembers. Data was collected on paper surveys. Surveys were delivered to the Town Halland were imputed by volunteers at the library and Williston Town staff. Because of thenature of the survey, data was analyzed manually.Phase 2 was an online survey. Residents accessed the survey through the website createdfor the project. Williston Town staff analyzed the data through the program.A marketing plan was created to reach the broadest audience. This included a website,www.WillistonCommunity.com which has all of the project information available and linksto the survey, physical posters posted throughout town, postcards sent to every householdin Williston and a social media push.Means and MethodsSurveyThe survey was divided into two parts, an interview based survey conducted by SteeringCommittee members and an online survey designed with the results of Part 1 of the Survey.Part 1Part 1 was led by steering committee members conducting interviews, asking sixopen-ended questions to individual members of the Williston community. This methodallowed residents to answer questions without bias of pre-written answers, generatenewideas and have more buy-in with the process than an online survey would offer.These also included intercept interviews, which were conducted on the spot at events,coffee shops, stores and parks.Focus groups were included in Part 1. Committee members visited Senior Housing, schoolsand committee groups.The first question posed was an opening question, asked to get people thinking about whatthey currently utilize and to get them talking in a comfortable way.Phase 1 Survey Questions

Realizing this wasunrealistic, the goal was lowered to 300 responses, with a final total of 184 survey entriesreflecting approximately 270 respondents. Note: The numbers are not definite due to someinterviews happening in groups. Because of the scope and purpose of Part 1 of the survey, itis acceptable that the numbers are not specific.The ages were spread out between the age groups of 26-39, 40-64 and 65+. Of concern wasthe only four respondents from the 18-25 age group.Due to the open ended nature of the questions, most people gave several answers to eachquestion. Although the number of respondents were about 270, there were well over 2,000individual suggestions (example, pool, toddler story time, skate park).Part 2The online position of the survey received 757 responses from a broad age range.

Re: Williston Community Center Structural Alterations – Basis of Design and Code Review Schematic Design Phase Assessment and Finding Based on the developing preliminary program for the proposed building renovation, including the 11/16/22 Site Visit, and our study of the existing building drawings; the design basis and approach for the project’s existing structure are presented. A summary will be listed on the Construction Drawings and may be adjusted for the final design. The building renovation requires programming changes for the Town of Williston, and deciding between utilizing the existing Dorothy Alling Memorial Library at 21 Library Lane and providing a renovation/addition, or developing a new site for a new library. It is our understanding that the building will not be undergoing a change in occupancy, but a possible building addition is being considered. The building consists of an original single-story wing with a basement, built in the 1960s. The original building is approximately 1,500 SF. In the mid-80s, an approximately 3,000 SF single story addition was added to the original building. And finally in the 1990s, another 5,000 SF single story addition was added to the site. The existing structural system is understood to be comprised of the following: - Shallow bearing concrete footing, CMU and concrete foundation walls; - Wood framed floors and roof with brick bearing walls for the 1960s original building. - The two additions consist of a slab on grade for the floor, and either wood roof rafters or wood roof trusses. - Exterior load-bearing brick shear walls at the original building and wood framed plywood shear walls at the two additions. The exterior brick walls are found to be the original lateral load resisting system of the 1960s, as an Unreinforced Masonry (“URM”) system. The general condition of the above systems appeared to be sound. No immediate concerns were identified for repair, however, as program develops, and if additional structure is exposed, the design team should review to determine if any areas are in need of repair. (Please note that only small portions of the existing structure were visible during the walk through). In addition, if additions are built that place additional loading on the existing structure, that will be required to be reviewed as it develops. November 22, 2022 Williston Community Center Structural Alterations – Basis of Design and Code Review Schematic Design Phase Assessment and Findings Page 2 of 3 Vermont Code (IEBC): In the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) 2015 that Vermont applies as Structural code, Alterations at Level 2 are found to apply at a worst case if an addition is being added or if substantial renovations are being completed. In general, this means that unless a structural member is altered, or loading is increased, the structure will not be required to be brought up to the current code, unless loading is increased by 5% or more, or if capacity is diminished by 5% or more. In addition, if elements resisting lateral loads are not altered, they are not required to be brought up to current code. If they are altered, they cannot have their demand-capacity ratio diminished by greater than 10%. In this case, that means as programmed is developed, any new openings in the exterior brick or wood walls should be reviewed by the design team for impacts. Local upgrades around openings may be required. If an addition to the existing building is pursued, it should be structurally independent. This requires a seismic isolation joint separating the two buildings. If the overall lateral loading of the existing building is increased by 10% or more, the existing building will be required to be brought up to current code for lateral support. Per current code, an Unreinforced Masonry system is not allowed for the original building from the 1960s. Therefore, the entirety of the existing system will need to be upgraded, or a new lateral system will need to be installed in the building, or upgrades would be required at the wood framed shear walls of the two existing additions. This would most likely be a cost prohibitive direction. Therefore, if an addition is constructed, it should remain structurally independent of the existing building. In addition to the above, any areas discovered in need of repair shall be addressed and brought up to the current code per IEBC Section 606. These conditions may present themselves during the renovation when structural elements are exposed to view. Building Load Capacities: Original 1960s Building Existing building drawings of the original library were not available. In addition, while on site, structure was not exposed to view to survey to determine load capacities. If occupancy or loading is not to change for the floor framing, additional checks are not required, unless unsafe conditions are present. In addition, if roof snow loading is not changed based on changes to roof insulation, roof framing is not required to be checked for current code loads. If these areas are to be exposed during construction, they should be reviewed by the design team to determine if they are within range for today’s code loading, or if any dangerous conditions are present. 1980s Addition Building drawings are available for review of this addition, however, they are Architectural only. However, while on site, structure was not exposed to view to survey or verify. Existing slab on grade appears to be 4” thick. The slab should be suitable for code prescribed dead and live loads for the building use. Per drawing A-3, roof trusses are designed for a top chord load of 50 PSF for snow and 10 PSF for dead load. And a bottom chord load of 10 PSF for dead load. Two areas of the roof are framed

One area has 2x10 rafters ar 24” on center, and the other has 2x8 rafters at 24” on center. The 2x10 rafters have capacity for 25 PSF of dead load, and 40 PSF of snow load. The 2x8 rafters have a capacity for 17 PSF of dead load, and 40 PSF of snow load. 1990s Addition Building drawings are available for review of this addition, both Structural and Architectural. However, structural plans showing loading criteria was not available. Some areas are framed with roof trusses and some are framed with traditional 2x rafters. Areas that are framed with roof trusses will not be able to have capacities determined without original design loading criteria. However, if loading is not going to be increased, these areas should not be an issue for any renovation. One area of roof is framed with 2x12 rafters at 24” on center, and another area is framed with 2x6 rafters at 24” on center. The 2x12 rafters have capacity for 20 PSF of dead load, and 40 PSF of snow load. The 2x6 rafters have a capacity for 25 PSF of dead load, and 40 PSF of snow load. Please review and comment on these findings. We note that structural measures will both continue to follow and inform the overall building design of other disciplines through project phases cc: Bob Neeld, PE (EV)

Our report is based upon our visual inspection of the building performed November 9, 2022, and our discussions with Library personnel. I. PPUURRPPOOSSEE 1. The purpose of this report on the conditions of the existing MEP systems, identify any code violations and maintenance issues observed as well as evaluate the potential for expanding the existing systems to serve future building expansion. IIII.. EEXXIISSTTIINNGG CCOONNDDIITTIIOONNSS:: 1. General: a. The Williston Library consists of a single-story building with a partial basement and attic space. The library was established in 1960 at its current location. The original space was approximately 1,500 square feet and is currently at the same location. Two additions have been constructed since the library has been established, one completed in 1986, with the second completed 1998, increasing the total square footage of the building to approximately 9,500 square ft. 2. HVAC Systems: a. General: i. Throughout the years it appears that the hot water heating system has been renovated to add additional heating zones to serve additions to the building. The existing heating system is a hot water gas-fired boiler system. Heating equipment varies and consists of fin-tube radiation, baseboard radiation and in-floor radiant heating located beneath the slab of the most recent addition. The building air conditioning is provided by two air handling units with outdoor Page 2 WWiilllliissttoonn LLiibbrraarryy aanndd CCoommmmuunniittyy CCeenntteerr MMPPEE SSyysstteemmss EEvvaalluuaattiioonn RReeppoorrtt Engineering Services of Vermont, LLC 12/07/2022 condensing units. b. Heating System: i. The existing building is heated by two (2) natural gas fired hot water boilers. The boilers are Weil-Mclain “Gold Series” model GV-6, rated for 175,000 BTUH input capacity, with a net IBR output capacity of 133,000 BTUH. Both boilers were installed in 1998. ii. The original heating distribution piping consists of multiple zone pumps serving various zones in the building. Heating equipment includes cast iron radiators, in-floor fin-tube with open face grilles, in-floor radiant heat and cast-iron baseboard radiation. c. Cooling Systems: i. The air conditioning systems appear to have been installed as part of the 1998 construction and consist of two split systems with air handling unit served by two outdoor condensing units. ii. The indoor units are located in an attic space of the 1998 addition, as well as in an attic space above the 1986 addition. These are ducted to provide ventilation and cooling throughout the building. The outdoor condensing units are pad mounted located around the 1998 addition and appear to have been replaced in 2019 with variable refrigerant flow units. d. Ventilation Systems: i. Both cooling systems are provided with fresh air intake ducts to provide fresh air to the building using the air handling systems. The restrooms and janitor’s rooms are provided with recessed mechanical exhaust fans. 3. Plumbing Systems: a. Domestic Water Systems: i. The domestic water distribution system enters the building below the stairwell to the basement from the “Historic Preservation” room. The plumbing fixtures throughout the building appear to be outdated with exceptions to updated fixtures. ii. The water service is supplied from a municipal water supply, and enters the building below the stairwell of the historic preservation room and is provided with an electronic water meter. iii. The service hot water generation is provided by an indirect water heater located in the boiler room. This heater was recently installed and is a Buderus, 30 gallon unit with an expansion tank and thermostatic mixing valve. b. Sanitary Waste Systems: i. The building is provided with two (2) building sewer lines. One service serves the original building and the 1986 addition. The second service serves the

We noted that several sections of the sanitary waste and vent piping systems have been replaced with PVC pipe. ii. The existing gas-fired boiler system is provided with condensate drainage piping and in-line condensate neutralization tanks. The condensate piping consists of plastic tube piping. 4. Electrical Systems a. General: The electrical systems are generally in decent condition. The electrical distribution system has significant capacity available in the electric service, although minimal space to add future circuit breakers and the difficulty of routing wiring up out of the basement to where it might be needed in the building. Lighting systems are showing their age and replacement of luminaires and controls is recommended. Fire alarm system is adequate for present use, but has minimal expansion capacity. b. Electrical Service & Distribution i. Electrical service routes to the building, underground, from a pole on the north side of U.S. Route 2. Electrical service is 120/240V single phase and terminates in a circuit breaker panelboard “SP” with a 600 Amp main circuit breaker in the southeast corner of the basement, Eaton/Cutler Hammer distribution panelboard, appears one or two single pole spaces available for future circuit breakers. a. Peak demand for the building per Green Mountain Power: i. 2020: 22.16KVA (92 Amp @ 240V, single phase) ii. 2021: 23.71KVA (98 Amp @ 240V, single phase) iii. 2022: 23.06KVA (96 Amp @ 240V, single phase) ii. Utility current transformer metering is located just to the left and ahead of panel SP, with the meter socket at grade level, above, on the south side of the exterior of the building. iii. Panel RP is located to the right of panel SP, 100 Amp MLO Eaton Load Center, 42 poles, fed from a 100A2P circuit breaker in SP. Eight spaces exist for future circuit breakers. iv. Panel Z1 is located to the left of panel RP, between SP and RP. It is fed from a 50A2P circuit breaker in RP. Z1 is a Bryant, 12 pole load center. All circuit breaker spaces are utilized. v. Panel NP is located in the Staff Work Room, southwest corner. This panel is fed from a 100A2P circuit breaker in panel SP. Panel is a 100 Amp MLO Cutler Hammer load center, 42 poles. Panel is completely full, with six tandem circuit breakers (panel serves a total of 48 circuits). vi. A 50 Amp feed exists from panel RP to the “Gazebo Panel”. Gazebo Panel could not be identified when the Gazebo was inspected.

General Power i. Wiring methods are generally non-metallic cable (type NM, “Romex”), service entrance cable (type SE), metal clad cable (type MC, “BX cable”). Service and feeder wiring is individual conductors in electrical metallic tubing (EMT). ii. Staff Work Room, Adult Computer Room and Reference have surface raceway (Wiremold G4000 series, divided raceway) on the brick/hard wall surfaces which have receptacles and telecom. iii. Receptacles appear to be well placed throughout the building with no use of extension cords observed. Recessed activation floor boxes exist in the Children’s Area and Multi-Purpose room containing receptacles and telecom devices. iv. Equipment connections appear to be proper with disconnect switches as required by Code. d. Lighting i. Interior lighting is generally fluorescent, made up of linear (tube, T-8 lamp) luminaires and compact fluorescent (“PL” lamp) luminaires. There is Edison base lampholders in the utility areas that utilize either fluorescent replacement lamps (curly-Q lamps) or LED replacement lamps. a. Circulation Area has newly installed LED flat panel luminaires. ii. Interior lighting controls are generally manual switches. iii. Exterior luminaires are LED light source with full cut off, with exception of lantern sconces on either side of the south door to the Historic Society Room. iv. Exterior lighting controls were not identified during the field work. It would be expected that there is a timeclock and/or a photocell that controls the exterior luminaires. v. There is exit and emergency lighting throughout the building and coverage of egress pathways looks adequate, for the most part. Random testing of the luminaires showed that they appear properly operational, although there is a remote battery serving the front of the building that could not be located. e. Life Safety Systems i. Life safety lighting is addressed in Lighting, above. ii. A fire alarm exists in the building. Fire alarm system is a zoned system with coverage throughout the building. Manual pullstations at all egress doors. Smoke detectors located in some portions of the building. Audible and visual signals throughout the building. f. Telecommunications Systems: i. The building has fiber optic service underground to the building to serve internet needs. CAT5 data outlets appear to be located where they are needed

A 25 pair copper telephone building serves the building. The Library has a Comdial/Executone telephone system. iii. The telecom rack serving the data needs of the building is located in the northeast corner of the Staff Work Room. iv. There appears to be Wifi coverage throughout the building, although it appears some cabling had to be surface mounted to device locations. v. There is a panic button system with buttons at the front desk and youth desk. g. A/V Systems: i. The Multi-Purpose Room has an audio system, rack mounted. System had amplifier, microphone inputs both wired and wireless, CD player and speakers. IIIIII.. SSUUMMMMAARRYY OOFF DDEEFFIICCIIEENNCCIIEESS AANNDD RREECCOOMMMMEENNDDAATTIIOONNSS:: 1. General: a. The HVAC equipment has exceeded its useful life and should be replaced. In general, the existing systems do not have the capacity to serve any additions or expansions without installing additional systems, piping and equipment. b. Plumbing systems and fixtures should be upgraded or replaced. 2. HVAC Systems: a. Heating: i. The existing temperature control system is inefficient and consists of a manual switchover between heating and cooling. ii. No heating was supplied to the gallery corridor we recommend adding heat to this area. iii. No heating was supplied to the janitor’s room we recommend adding heat to this area. iv. The current control system for the building is in poor condition and does not allow for adequate automatic setback and control of the HVAC systems. v. The existing boilers have reached the near end of their useful life and should be replaced, including the fresh air intake, venting, expansion tanks, and condensate drainage piping. vi. We recommend completely refurnishing the heating systems, piping and controls. b. Cooling System: i. The air handling units and refrigerant piping insulation should be replaced and existing air distribution system professionally cleaned. ii. The location of the cooling only air handling units within the 1986 addition Page 6 WWiilllliissttoonn LLiibbrraarryy aanndd CCoommmmuunniittyy CCeenntteerr MMPPEE SSyysstteemmss EEvvaalluuaattiioonn RReeppoorrtt Engineering Services of Vermont, LLC 12/07/2022 are located above the reception desk is in an impractical location for maintaining the unit. We recommend installing an additional access point in order to provide maintenance to these units. a. Ventilation Systems: i. The existing ventilation systems are inadequate and should be replaced with a dedicated ventilation air system. ii. We recommend installing a (2) two 600 CFM air to air heat recovery system to provide fresh air. We also recommend replacing the toilet room exhaust fans. 3. Plumbing Systems: a. Domestic Water Systems: i. Plumbing fixtures and trim should be updated and replaced. ii. The domestic water distribution piping appears to be adequate. We would recommend installing or replacing piping insulation. b. Sanitary Waste Systems: i. Original sections of waste piping which still remain in service should be replaced. 4. Electrical Systems: a. Electrical Distribution Systems: i. A pullbox exists in the northeast corner of the Boiler Room where it is almost inaccessible behind piping and the hinged door cannot close due to the piping, exposing electrical wiring/connections. ii. Circuit breaker panelboards are almost completely full, not leaving much room to add circuits for future loads/equipment. iii. There is a water pipe that routes through the Code required clear space above panels RP and Z1 as well as above the current transformer metering cabinet. The pipes need to be relocated out of the required clear area above the panels. b. General Power i. Present Code requires tamper-resistant receptacles throughout the building for child safety purposes. ii. Devices in floor boxes should be on GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protected circuits. iii. Receptacles in the Toilet Rooms require GFCI protection. iv. Service receptacle is required at the west condensing unit, per Code. c. Lighting i. The fluorescent luminaires are aging, with several luminaires missing or having

Fluorescent lamps reduce in output as they age. The Library reported that several fluorescent ballasts have had to be replaced, recently. Replacement with LED luminaires would provide better light levels and improve energy savings, throughout. ii. There are two luminaires in the Family Room which the Library can find no controls for. These luminaires remain illuminated 24/7. iii. The manual interior lighting controls provide minimal energy savings. We would recommend providing automatic lighting controls with dimming capability, to at least dim down lighting in a public area when there is no occupancy; occupancy sensors and occupancy sensor switches in smaller spaces; manual dimming controls to allow manual adjustment and daylight dimming sensors to allow automatic adjustment of lighting levels when adequate daylight is available. iv. The exterior lighting control (timeclock/photocell) was not identified; however, several exterior luminaires were on during our time on site, which was a bright, sunny day. v. Exit luminaires have both red and green lettering. Code allows either green or red lettering, but it must be consistent through the building. vi. There did not appear to be emergency lighting coverage in the front Lobby area. vii. There is no emergency lighting heads outside the egress doors, illuminating the egress pathway away from the building. d. Life Safety Systems: i. The fire alarm system is aging, is a zoned system, and has minimal expansion capabilities. ii. There are no visual signals in several locations, including the Computer Room, and Office. iii. There did not appear to be a fire alarm signal on the exterior of the building. e. Telecommunications: iv. The telecommunications rack located in the corner of the Staff Work Room is convenient, but not secure. Locating the rack in a secure room or closet might be a better plan, in the future. v. There is exposed cabling leaving the telecommunications rack, draped over bulletin board and shelving.

The key document for a community to define and implement its vision. It is a long-term guide to enact, measure and evaluate public and private initiatives that affect the future physical, social, and economic health of the community.  A basis for municipal regulations: The foundation for zoning and subdivision regulations and bylaws. It underpins the official town map and guides local regulatory decisions. A long-term guide: A basis for decision-making, community programs, and taxpayer investments: identify priorities for funding, establishing a capital improvement program, and directing other public and private local initiatives, such as farmland protection, housing development, or recreational facilities creation or improvement. An action plan that identifies implementation steps: details programs and projects over the short term, midterm, and long term to achieve goals and objectives. Well-articulated strategies can help leverage grant funding and other support for those actions A tool for strategic planning, studies, and coordination: Plans cannot address every issue in sufficient detail. Therefore, plans often recommend further studies to develop policies or strategies to meet specific needs. Plans convey a vision for broader initiatives such as the development of intermunicipal, regional, and state agency plans and programs.

Chapter 8 - Public Facilities & Services Objective 8.1 Administration - The Town of Williston will strive to maintain adequate space and modern facilities for the administration of municipal services. Williston maintains seven principal buildings. The town’s administrative services are largely concentrated in Williston’s historic village center. Two exceptions are the fire station and the public works garage. Only one sub-goal under 8.1... “8.1.1 Renovate the older town facilities for energy efficiency and conservation”

The Library Board will prepare an updated facilities plan.In 2012-2013, a number of repairs and modifications were completed at the DAML to improve the energy efficiency, lighting and the overall comfort of the library’s patrons. The library’s immediate facilities plans are focused on improving the layout of the building to make areas for library study separate from areas for casual visiting, and to create a teen space. Expansion of the existing facility will need to be considered at some point as the population of the town and the demand for services increases. Library staff will continue to monitor new development and trends in technology and information services and incorporate them into the library’s current offerings as appropriate.

Chapter 9 – Recreation & Park Resources Objective 9.2 Recreational Facilities – The town will continue to support and plan for indoor and outdoor recreational facilities that benefit the community. …The town currently does not own any indoor recreation facilities. The department is largely dependent on the availability of space within the schools……A taskforce was appointed by the Selectboard in 2007 to study the need for a community center. That taskforce reported in October of 2007 that there would definitely be a need for an indoor recreation facility within 5-10 years. Beyond accommodating recreation activities for senior citizens, teens, and preschoolers the taskforce found that a facility was needed for other indoor structured recreation programs and cultural events. (Fun Fact: Town Plan says “Community Center” 4 times and only in 9.2 & 9.2.2)

Objective 9.2 Recreational Facilities – The town will continue to support and plan for indoor and outdoor recreational facilities that benefit the community. 9.2.1 Identify Recreation Facility Needs. A process should be developed to assess the current recreational facilities and identify future needs and target those areas where the town is falling short. The process should be developed to reflect the National Recreation and Parks Association Level of Service Standards (LOS), and create sufficient active recreation fields to enable restoration and maintenance. 9.2.2 Meet the Need for Indoor Recreation Facilities. Plans for accomplishing the taskforce’s recommendations regarding indoor recreation space and a potential community center should be developed. All strategies to provide indoor recreation space for Williston residents should be considered, including but not limited to acquiring or building a community center, partnering with private entities, and working to include an indoor community space in new development proposals. The town should consider completing a feasibility study for a potential community center, analyzing estimated costs and possible funding mechanisms.

Objective 9.3 - Community Parks - The town will continue to maintain and enhance the existing community parks. The town will also seek land and funding for additional community park development. 9.3.2 Meet the Need for Additional Park Development. Williston’s community parks include approximately 38 acres that are developed for recreational use (see Table 9.A above). To meet Level of Service Standards, the town will need to pursue an additional 25-30 acres of parkland to fully accommodate the current need and future population growth. The National Recreation & Parks Association LOS Standards for developed recreation land is 7.5 acres per 1,000 persons.9.3.3 Consider the Distribution of Park Space. …The town should explore ways to add community parks that are easily accessible for all residents. Possible locations for new community parks include: … 2. town should seek other sites in the northwestern part of town, and other underserved areas, such as the residential community along Old Creamery Road. In addition, the town is anticipating a significant amount of growth in Williston’s designated growth center where few recreational facilities exist today.

The town will consider ways town lands and buildings in the village can be used as centers of community connection. An example would be deciding to offer additional town services or extended business hours at Town Hall.7.3.1.1 Maintain a Civic Presence in the Village. The town plays an active role in historic preservation and vibrancy in the village by occupying and maintaining a number of historic sites and structures there. The town will ensure the village remains a civic center into the future by maintaining and upgrading its facilities in the village before considering moving them off-site.7.3.1.3 Enable Enhanced Special Events in the Village. The town will consider additional programming, such as a periodic “food truck night” or “family night out” in the village as a way to draw town residents and others to the village at times they might not otherwise go there.*No goals or policies related to the Village Green
