 Staff continues with winter pruning and invasive removal. They are
 finalizing their 2023 tree care maintenance plan. Beach cleanup may
 begin sometime around March 20th, weather dependent, and should be
 filled by late April.
 3. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 Novack advised that the contractor has received the punch list. Dusak
 reported that they are waiting on a schedule from the contractor.
 4. Fredenhagen Park Fountain - Bill Novack

 Kennedy and Novack reported that Erickson has provided them with an
 introduction to the Exchange Club and they will be reaching out regarding
 the repair and/or possible alternatives to the Exchange Club Memories
 Fountain as they have expressed an interest in being part of the
 conversations. Alternatives to the fountain will be vetted through PDC.
 5. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Novack provided an update on the Eagle Street Gateway project, noting
 that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to receive the
 funding will take approximately two months. They are awaiting additional
 information from the grant administrator and Novack believes this project
 can still go out to bid early summer. Dusak advised that his team is
 working through the comments received from initial submittal to DuPage
 County and their intent is to resubmit in March. Next steps will be an
 environmental assessment and then a public comment period. Kennedy
 added the need to look at how this will affect pedestrian traffic on the
 Riverwalk. Dusak and Stibbe discussed the low flow walkway seat walls
 with Stibbe requesting a seat wall built out of wall stone that would be 18” to
 21” in height. Dusak will include this in the next submittal to the County.
 Kennedy requested temporary informational signage that included a
 picture of the finished project and a reference to the Master Plan.
 Discussion followed on also including a reference to the barrier free
 access and this being the first project of the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan.
 Kennedy requested the group think about the placement of these signs and
 when they should be put up. Peterson will review this information with the
 group at next month’s PDC meeting.

 Kennedy advised that meetings are being held with the mayoral candidates
 to review the Master Plan and projects included in the CIP budget. Novack
 reported that per the vote taken at last month’s Riverwalk Commission
 meeting, an item has been placed on City Council’s agenda for their March
 7th meeting recommending the addition of a voting member from the
 Riverwalk Bicentennial Fund (RBF) be added to the Riverwalk
 Commission, increasing the number of members from 12 to 13.
 7. South Extension Preliminary Design - Brian Dusak

 Dusak and Kennedy advised that a meeting was held last week with
 Edward Hospital and Ryan Companies. Peterson reviewed the concept
 drawings with the group and Dusak noted that while elements from both
 renderings may be included in the final project, the consensus from all
 parties is with Concept B. This item will be included on next week’s
 Riverwalk Commission agenda for final endorsement on the concept, with
 details on items such as the Park District maintenance building, the
 pedestrian bridge, the gateway feature, and the existing Park District
 signage to be further discussed.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 Discuss and provide direction on maintenance of the Ipe wood and the various

 Attachments: Fredenhagen Park Photos 1

 Novack provided an overview and requested direction on the maintenance
 needed for the Ipe wood and various structures at Fredenhagen Park. He
 reviewed the photos that were included in the agenda packet and
 discussion followed on whether the wood needs to be restored to the
 original color. This item will be included on next week’s Riverwalk
 Commission agenda with this group’s recommendation of having this bid
 as an alternative with work being done on the front half of the park and back
 half, separately. The Park District and City will need to develop a
 maintenance program.
