 1. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that the Planning, Design and Construction (PDC)
 Committee reviewed plans and had a great discussion at last week’s
City of Naperville Page 2 Printed on 4/26/2021
Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes March 10, 2021

 meeting. The project should be ready to bid in the next four to five weeks.
 The consultants are currently working on the details, specifications and
 costs for the structural portion. In addition to the base bid, enhancement
 items will be bid as an alternate. Some of the original enhancement items
 were deemed essential and moved to the base bid. Brodhead inquired
 about the enhancement items that were moved, with Goshorn-Maroney and
 Novack listing the following: 1) new railing that will replace old railing and
 match other areas of the Riverwalk; 2) relocating the existing plaque on the
 north side of the building to the front side, which will need to be moved
 because of façade enhancements; and 3) a new storefront door that will
 look better and help with waterproofing.

 Christian Canizal inquired about the timing of construction. Novack
 anticipates that based on when the project goes to bid, construction should
 begin mid-June.
 2. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Kennedy reported on the progress of the Communications and Fundraising
 teams, noting that Fundraising continues to build their team and work with
 smaller groups and the Riverwalk Foundation to advance a few of the
 ecological restoration projects. The overall strategy being developed in the
 next several weeks by the Communications team will assist with
 fundraising.

 Joseph reported that he, Aguilar and Sameera Luthman, Naperville Park
 District, have made good progress on developing the Communications
 plan with the objectives being 1) to build enthusiasm and help foster
 strategic relationships with the key stakeholder groups who they want to
 partner with; and 2) build awareness for the Master Plan for the vision
 amongst the residents and users of the Riverwalk. The theme is “Creating
 a Path Forward” and they feel that it embodies the spirit and utilization of
 the Riverwalk and can assist with future themes that would take in the
 history of the Riverwalk. They will be sharing their progress with the PDC
 Committee in April before sharing at the Riverwalk Commission meeting in
 April or May.
 3. Riverwalk "Welcome Back" for 2021 - Pam Bartlett

 Bartlett reported that the Downtown Naperville Alliance is doing a “Sail into
 Summer” event with sailboat sculptures that businesses have started
 picking up to paint and display by Memorial Day or Father’s Day. The
 Alliance would like to work with the Riverwalk Commission to have some
 type of event like a boat race. Discussion followed on possibilities such as
 a regatta or a decorated boat parade. Aguilar inquired if an event could
 take place at Centennial Beach. Stibbe would have to check to see if any
 other events are scheduled. He discussed past events where boats were

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes March 10, 2021

 built and raced at the beach. Discussion followed regarding the duck race
 and the issue of the river conditions so staff could retrieve the ducks.
 Stibbe said a cardboard regatta could be fun and interesting but would
 need to be researched and scheduled with Jackie Gonzalez, Aquatics
 Manager, and Brad Wilson, Director of Recreation with the Park District.
 The quarry was also suggested as a possibility for location. Bartlett will
 research further and follow up with the Commission.
