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 working on the engineering/design for the repair of the Moser
 Tower. Construction documents are scheduled to be completed in the
 autumn. Following that, the project is scheduled to go out for bid in late
 autumn or 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.

 Novack also reported that the curb/railing failure on the east side of the
 Paddle Boat Quarry is more complex that just a simple repair as the
 foundation for the area is actually a bridge with beam supports. The outer
 most beam is deteriorating causing the curb to crack and the railing to be
 unstable. ERA submitted a couple of options; either remove the outer-most
 beam and move the sidewalk eastward or remove the failing beam and
 replace it with a steel beam. ERA will create construction plans for both
 options this fall. Since the curb/railing repair is a smaller project, Novack
 suggested that it be bid with the Moser Tower.


 2. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy


 Approve the final draft of the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan.

 Wehrli thanked the Commission for their work on the Riverwalk 2031
 Master Plan. She stated that she submitted additional comments for
 consideration. She suggested that the Commission consider the whole
 history of the Riverwalk as well as where it is now. She advocated for
 focusing more funding toward the maintenance of the current Riverwalk
 assets. Wehrli listed several items in addition to her written submittal. Her
 input was very helpful.

 Schweitzer also thanked the Commission for their collaborative work on the
 master plan. She stated that the plan is beautiful and believes it will give
 the community hope.

 Kennedy gave an overview of the process in developing the Riverwalk
 2031 Master Plan. He also stated that the outreach to community partners
 and key stakeholders that was completed. He explained that the master
 plan is expected to be a fluid document, and although the request to

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes - Final September 9, 2020

 approve the current document will be made now, there will be updates and
 changes as the needs of the Riverwalk change in the future.
