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

 Novack advised that the tree trimming and purchase of replacement trees
 will need to be procured within the next 30 days and should use up the
 remaining funds for 2020.

 Kennedy inquired about where tree pruning fit into the agreement with the
 Park District for annual maintenance and PA022. Novack advised that
 maintenance is funded under Living Asset Management due to a need to
 perform overstory pruning on larger trees annually to allow for lower trees to
 grow.
 4. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 Novack stated that he received the preliminary plans for the Moser Tower
 repair from Dusak, who then provided an overview for the Committee.
 Dusak advised that a site visit was conducted earlier this month and those
 findings were incorporated into the plan. He will share the information with
 Peterson and will be looking for additional input from the PDC Committee.
 Discussion followed about the timeline for the project with Dusak stating he
 believed the project could go to bid in late winter or early spring, with
 construction taking place during a regular construction season next year.

 Staging would need to be coordinated with the Park District as to not
 disrupt Riverwalk traffic and a plan would need to be put in place with the
 contractor to work around events at Rotary Hill such as Last Fling.
 5. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Cuff reported that planning between the Riverwalk Foundation and the Park
 District has begun to identify restoration projects and establish a process
 for donors to review these projects. Stibbe added that Peggy Motta was
 working to identify additional areas that are most critical. After a lengthy
 discussion, the following steps were presented to address all projects for
 the Master Plan: 1) Identify who scopes the project; 2) Identify who designs
 the project; 3) Identify who bids and oversees the project; and 4) Identify
 who builds the project. The first two steps for the Riverbank Ecological
 Restoration will be handled by the Park District. Kennedy spoke of forming
 an Implementation Group consisting of Marketing/Communications and
 Fundraising, advising that due to recent changes in both the Riverwalk
 Commission and the PDC Committee, along with interest from former
 Committee members, work can now begin to populate these two teams.
