Initiative Title	New ladders and personnel lift for Orange Hall Theater.
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	The tallest A-frame ladders and the only extension ladder in the theater are quite old and in disrepair, making for unsafe working conditions. They are also made of wood, making them heavy and cumbersome to move. There is also the matter of efficiency. In order to do any rigging or lighting work, the only fast and safe option is a Genie Arial Working Platform, especially for any job requiring a technician to be in the air for a long period of time (e.g. special show-specific projects or troubleshooting lighting equipment).
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Unsafe working conditions in the theater.
Department Goals	Upgrade departmental facilities.
