 2. Park District - Chuck Papanos

 Papanos reminded the committee of the vehicle that left the road by the red
 landform sculpture a couple of months ago. A similar accident occurred
 recently, this one again during the early morning hours. A vehicle left the
 road near Jackson and Eagle striking one of the large round planters. The
 planter ended up over on the south side of Jackson Avenue near the exit to
 the Administration parking lot. There was some discussion of whether the
 planters need to be fastened to the underlying pavement; the Park District
 will take that into consideration and continue to monitor the planters.

 3. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll

 Roehll stated that there is no new report. The very cold weather continues
 to keep any further work from being completed this time of year.


 4. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Novack stated that the report was just distributed to the committee
 members yesterday so, at best, everyone has had just one day to read and
 consider its content. The plan is to have ERA give an overview of the
 report this morning, let the committee think about the report over the next
 month, and then at the April meeting see if the committee can arrive at
 consensus on a recommendation that can be sent to the Riverwalk
 Commission.

 Dusak noted the text of the report is very similar to the earlier version. The
 main difference is the addition of the updated cost estimates provided by
 Golf Construction.

 Wolf discussed how the report prioritizes the types of repairs that are
 recommended. The overall news is much better than the earlier reports.
 The overall costs have been reduced significantly due to better construction
 access through the use of the swing stage. The estimates in the prior
 report were higher mostly due to the necessary scaffolding. The
 recommended repairs are similar in scope to the prior report; we just now
 have less scale and more confidence in the quantities. Wolf described the
 three categories of proposed repairs: addressing the concrete, addressing
 the structural steel, and addressing the plaza repairs. Of these, the plaza
 repairs are by far the lowest priority and has the potential to be done at a
 later date.

 Roehll questioned if, on page 7, the word “negligent” should actually be
 “negligible?” ERA will look into that. He also asked if the concrete
 referenced on page 8 was cast in place concrete or the precast concrete.
 ERA responded that it was the precast.

 Cuff questioned if the original concrete mix was bad, noting the questions
 around the water/cement ratio in the report. ERA noted that one of the
 larger contributors to the condition of the precast pieces was the manner in
 which the pieces were stored and handled in the concrete contractor’s
 yard, especially the pieces that were erected years after the initial
 construction.

 Roehll questioned if enclosing the tower will extend the useful life of the

 structure. ERA responded that if the tower is enclosed, then additional
 elements will be needed, such as HVAC and ventilation. The additional
 cost and maintenance of those elements will exceed any benefit that
 enclosing the tower will provide since enclosing will provide a minimal
 benefit.

 Friant questioned the three year ongoing inspections. It was noted that this
 is the current recommendation. If future inspections show signs that the
 frequency of inspections needs to be increased, then that would have to be
 considered at that time.

 Martin asked if mapping of the cracks had been performed. ERA
 responded that it had not been done. Martin noted that the post tensioning
 rods should be inspected for voids right below the anchoring plate; that is
 where voids will show up.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 Papanos stated that the Park District is considering changing their banner
 system. He distributed pictures of the existing and proposed banners. The
 proposed banners are larger and will have an additional support located at
 the bottom of the banner. Papanos wanted to see if there was any concern
 with the change; none was voiced.
