D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Approval of Minutes - Pat Kennedy


 Approve minutes from the June 30, 2020 Riverwalk Planning, Design and
 Construction Committee meeting.
 Attachments: 20PDCMinutes0630

 A motion to approve the June 30, 2020 Planning, Design & Construction
 Committee minutes was made by Roehll and seconded by Novack.
 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.


 2. Park District - Tom Stibbe

 a. General Maintenance
 Park District Staff continues with general maintenance of the Riverwalk.
 b. Decorative Fountains
 All decorative fountains have been turned on. Vandals have placed
 orange cones in the Dandelion Fountain, very little damage occurred.
 c. Events
 The Park District offers a “Midday Spray” on Rotary Hill where a large
 lawn sprinkler is turned on and children are allowed to frolic in the water.
 The event has been very well received.
 d. Weeding
 Roehll has received comments regarding the number of weeds on the
 Riverwalk this season. Stibbe explained that with due to the pandemic
 the Park District’s revenue is down causing budget cuts. The reduced
 budget means less staff to perform some of the seasonal clean up
 tasks. The current staff is struggling to keep up with the regular
 maintenance. Volunteer opportunities exist for community members to
 help with some of the cleanup tasks. It was suggested that the
 Riverwalk Commission work with the Park District’s public relations
 staff to produce a news story about the good work done by current
 volunteers and inviting others to lend a hand.


 3. 2020 Riverwalk Work Plan (PA022) - Bill Novack

 a. Railings/Curbing: East Side of Paddle Boat Quarry
 The curbing supporting the railings on the east side of the Paddle Boat
 Quarry is cracking/broken and experiencing significant failure.

Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes August 4, 2020
Construction Committee

 Engineering Resource Assoc. (ERA) has explored the area and found
 that it is actually a bridge supported by cast-in-place concrete T-bars
 similar to the supporting structure for the Sesquicentennial Overlook.
 There are six T-bars running parallel to Eagle Street. The western most
 T-bar, immediately below the failing railing curb appears to be the only
 one that is compromised. ERA will continue to study their findings.
 They will prepare a memo with their recommendations and cost
 estimate. If the damage is minimal, the repair will likely happen yet this
 year. However, if it is a large repair, the project will likely become its
 own CIP and be completed in 2021.
 b. Fredenhagen Park: Replace Plantings
 Stibbe was asked to make some initial decisions about what plants
 would be replaced in Fredenhagen Park if the budget allows for the
 project to be completed this year.
 c. Donor Plaques
 Donor plaques will be replaced on the Jackson Avenue light poles.
 They were removed when the City installed new lights. The light poles
 are round while the original poles were square.


 4. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 ERA continues to work on the engineering/design for the repair of the
 Moser Tower. Construction documents are scheduled to be completed in
 the autumn. The project is scheduled to go out for bid in late early winter.
 Construction is scheduled to begin in early spring, weather dependent.
 The construction timeline will take the carillon summer schedule into
 account, if possible.


 5. Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan - Pat Kennedy


 Receive the current version of the Draft Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan.
 Attachments: Draft Master Plan Version8 20200625

 As a review, the Riverwalk Commission approved the Draft Riverwalk
 2031 Master Plan and directed Commissioners to reach out to community
 partners and key stakeholders to seek their input. Four meetings have
 taken place. Roehll and Kennedy have met with the Riverwalk Foundation,
 North Central College, Edward Hospital and with City and Park District
 officials/staff. Additional outreach is planned.

 Edward Hospital has expressed interest in partnering with the Riverwalk
 Commission. They are especially interested in the South Gateway project
 and have provided a written endorsement of the master plan.

 North Central College has also expressed an interest in continuing their
 partnership with the Riverwalk Commission and suggested that an
 additional project be included in the master plan. They suggested that we
 explore a multi-use pedestrian/bike path on the east side of the DuPage
 River from Fredenhagen Park/Bambule Gateway south to Riverview Court,
 just north of Hillside Road. They also suggested adding a pedestrian
 bridge to allow pedestrian traffic to loop from north to south and back
 again. The question of adding this project to the Draft Riverwalk 2031
 Master was discussed with the consensus that it should be added.
 Additional exploration of the flood way/plane will take place before further
 discussion at the August 12, 2020 Riverwalk Commission meeting.




 The outreach meetings with partners and stakeholders should be
 completed by the end of August with presentation of the final document to
 the Riverwalk Commission in September and Park Board and City Council
 in October.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. Social Distancing Signage - Valla Aguilar

 Social Distancing Signage - Valla Aguilar
 Aguilar described the steps that North Central College is taking to
 encourage social distancing and the use of masks. After much discussion
 it was decided to move forward with alternatives for social distancing
 signage on the Riverwalk. Aguilar will work with Stibbe to produce the
 appropriate signage.
