 planting fall annuals. A lot of tree work is being done to include overstory
 tree pruning. Trees and shrubs were planted last week. Staff is going
 through the pathways and replacing any heaved bricks. They have recently
 hired a Park Specialist and a Park Maintenance IV employee.

 Cuff commented on the great job done by the crew of three volunteers that
 have been assisting on the east extension. DiCristina provided more
 information on these three individuals that live in the area with Erickson
 noting the importance of recognizing them for their efforts. Cuff will speak
 with Stephanie Penick regarding this and work with DiCristina.
 3. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that the contractor is back and working on the façade at
 the bottom. They have a meeting later this morning. Dusak said they will
 be walking the site for a final look over and review of punch list items
 before the concrete sealer is applied. Coping stones will be going in soon
 and then waterproofing will be performed at the base. Landscaping will
 follow and this project is scheduled to be wrapped up this year. Dusak will
 obtain a schedule from the contractor this morning to communicate with the
 group.
 4. Riverwalk Master Plan - Jan Erickson for Pat Kennedy

 Erickson advised the task force/Communications Team will be providing
 an update on the Master Plan to the Riverwalk Foundation Board tomorrow
 evening and they will also discuss fundraising. A presentation has been
 scheduled with the Naperville Sunrise Rotary and the PowerPoint and
 leave behind document/brochure will be finalized.
 5. Riverwalk Master Plan Signage - Bill Novack

 Novack reported no progress has been made due to the donation issues
 with the QR code and this will not be pursued this year. It will be removed
 from the agenda.
 6. Riverwalk Master Plan CIP/Budget Review - Bill Novack

 Novack advised that all Master Plan Capital Improvement Projects as
 previously reviewed with the Commission were submitted. An additional
 project was added that will be discussed under New Business. The CIP
 review/budget workshops with City Council will be held in Council
 Chambers at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th, November 9th and November
 21st. Novack will not be in attendance at the November 9th meeting but
 there will be representatives from the City’s Transportation, Engineering
 and Development business group (TED) attending in his place.

 The object has been identified and the City’s Department of Public Works
 (DPW) will work to remove it when the river flow is down.
 8. Accessibility audit of Riverwalk - Bill Novack

 Discussion on this item was deferred until next month’s meeting.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. Initial scope of repairs for the Fredenhagen Park fountain - Bill Novack and Mike
 DiCristina

 Receive the initial scope of repairs for the Fredenhagen Park fountain
 Attachments: FredenhagenParkCAR20220922

 Novack met with Park District staff to discuss the report prepared by
 Fountain Technologies that was included in the agenda packet. They
 confirmed the leak in the fountain and prepared a scope of work to be
 performed. The cost is approximately $400,000 and would include
 repairing the leak outside of the vault, the leak under the fountain, replacing
 the lighting, and addressing safety issues with the vault. They are unable to
 phase the project but Novack was able to go back to Finance and include
 an amount in next year’s CIP budget to begin design and repairs.
 Discussion will need to continue on other possibilities for the area and this
 item will be included on the agenda for the next Riverwalk Commission
 meeting on October 12th.

 Novack provided an update on the construction timing for the Washington
 Street bridge, which is scheduled to begin in late February or early March
 of next year.
 2. Future updates to Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan - Jeff Friant

 Discussions began on the possibility of updating the 2031 Master Plan and
 the timing of future reviews of the Plan taking place to coincide with
 budgeting and the Asset Management Plan Walk scheduled in April or May
 of each year. Going forward, the PDC will plan to review the document in
 June and bring recommendations to the Riverwalk Commission each July.
 Suggestions discussed included 1) changing the conceptual illustrations to
 match the revised plans, 2) noting the status of each project as being in the
 design, construction or building phase to include the year, 3) including
 “funding approved” information, 4) updating cost information, and 5) not
 including too much information that would create legibility issues. Novack
 suggested this be reviewed at the end of the year with the consultants to
 identify funds available to make any changes. This will be discussed at
 next month’s PDC meeting and will be brought before the Riverwalk
 Commission in December.

 3. Fredenhagen Park Renovations - John Cuff

 Cuff distributed photos that illustrated some restoration issues at
 Fredenhagen Park. The trellises and other woodwork, which are made of
 Ipe wood, were originally a reddish color but have faded and are in need of
 maintenance. It was noted that with proper care, Ipe wood is designed to
 last up to seventy-five years. The original reddish color can be brought
 back or it can go to a rustic look but it all will need to be maintained with
 sanding, possibly staining and sealing. Discussion followed on the current
 Trumpet vines on the trellises, if they could be replaced by something less
 invasive such as Virginia Creeper which does not flower, or if vines were
 needed at all since the area may already be well-shaded. Cuff also noted
 that part of the stone on the clock tower and columns and pillars are dirty
 and need to be cleaned up. This item will be included on next month’s
 PDC agenda for further discussion.
 4. South Gateway preliminary design discussion - Brian Dusak

 Goshorn-Maroney and Peterson distributed a document with photos of the
 existing conditions of the south extension to begin design discussions on
 the South Gateway project of the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan. Some
 suggestions for consideration included 1) having a crosswalk at the
 southwest section of Martin Avenue and Washington Street, 2) buffering
 noise from Washington Street, 3) possibly pulling the sidewalk back along
 Washington Street to tie into the Riverwalk path, and 4) including a bikeway
 from Edwards Hospital that tied into the North Central College bikeway.
 Potential funding from the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program
 funding (ITEP) was also discussed as it related to the bikeway as an
 alternative route of transportation.

 Discussion continued on the area where the Naperville Jaycees community
 event sign is located in William Friedrich Memorial Park with Erickson
 noting this should be discussed with the Naperville Park District. It was
 also noted that informational meetings with existing neighbors should be
 held once the initial design is created that would include a five year time
 lapse of what the area would look like after the improvements.
