 Kennedy summarized the information covered at the previous week’s PDC
 meeting regarding the Master Plan, which included 1) review and approval
 of the vendor for the sign attachments (to be installed by Park District staff);
 2) identifying steps for development of the QR codes with the City and the
 Foundation; and 3) discussing minor modifications with the Foundation
 regarding their fundraising website so that donating to the 2031 Master
 Plan is an option for the “Donate” QR code. The QR code for “Learn More”
 or “Discover” will be directed to the City’s website, where the Master Plan
 is located. Once the codes are ready, they will be tested and should be on
 track and completed by the end of March.

 An outline of a scope has been developed for an outside consultant to
 prepare communication materials. Joseph wants to build on the
 presentation that was made to the Chamber’s Young Professionals
 Network by Erickson and Holzhauer to include additional materials, leave
 behinds, and a video. They are seeking funds upwards to $15,000.00 and
 Cuff will be discussing at the next Riverwalk Foundation Board meeting for
 approval. They are currently working on a short list of firms. Discussion
 followed on possible existing drone footage with ERA, GRWA, or NCTV17.
 Holzhauer suggested contacting Ross Creative Works, as they have been
 capturing images on the Riverwalk over the past ten years. This was also
 recommended by Bartlett.

 A Riverwalk 2031 Fundraising Committee will need to be developed, which
 will include a representative from the Riverwalk Foundation and from the

 Riverwalk Commission. The committee could consist of eight to twelve
 members and meet as frequently as they need to, pulling in additional
 volunteers. Kennedy is looking for suggestions for potential members.

 Stibbe spoke of the importance of additional Park District staff as new
 projects are developed and asked for that to be considered by the
 Commission. He also suggested including a small maintenance facility
 with the development at the south extension. Novack discussed the
 maintenance agreement between the City and the Park District, noting that
 the City Council and Park District Board need to approve any additional
 costs associated with each addition to the Riverwalk.
