C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 No one from the public wished to address the Riverwalk Commission.


D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 ERA is continuing to work on the engineering/design for the repair of the
 Moser Tower. A draft of the plan is scheduled to be available within the
 next month. Brodhead advised that City Council was currently reviewing
 the budget and asked if this project is preliminary to what would be
 considered for next year’s budget and what the effect would be of placing it
 on hold for one to two years. Novack advised that the rehabilitation was
 presented in one phase for next year’s budget and delaying the project
 would result in greater strain and stress on the structure and an increased
 inflation rate.


 2. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Kennedy reported that the Park District and City Council have endorsed
 the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan and thanked everyone for their efforts. The
 next step is to form subcommittees for marketing/communication and
 fundraising. A meeting between the Park District, the Riverwalk
 Foundation and ERA consultants took place within the past week to
 discuss the concept and design of the initial Riverbank Ecological
 Restoration west of Eagle Street. A follow-up meeting will be held and
 recommendations will be forthcoming.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 No new business was brought to the Riverwalk Commission for
 consideration.

F. REPORTS:

 to be placed at the Rain Garden in Jaycees Park. The plans will be
 presented to the Riverwalk Commission for review and approval.

 A total of five brick orders have been received for the spring 2021

 many people enjoying the Riverwalk, taking pictures and enjoying the
 recent good weather. The Riverwalk was mentioned in 22 articles, 42
 social media posts and 3 broadcasts, mainly weather related in the local
 media. The highlights were the City Council’s endorsement of the
 Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan, Fall Family Fun and a travel blog about great
 suburban locations in America’s Heartland, listing Naperville Riverwalk as
 #2.

 Committee minutes.
 All pertinent business regarding the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan was
 addressed earlier in Agenda Item D.2.

 Kennedy reported that the Shepherd’s Crook light fixtures being replaced
 downtown were being salvaged for the Riverwalk, making sure this
 signature feature is preserved. Novack further advised that over the next
 three years, the City would be replacing downtown lights with an Acorn style
 LED fixture and they are working to salvage as many existing Shepherd’s
 Crook fixtures as possible because parts are difficult to find. The current
 issue is identifying storage space for these fixtures.
