 2. Park District - Tiffani Picco for Chuck Papanos

 a. Riverwalk Parking Lot Trees
 The pine trees adjacent to the Riverwalk parking lot at Main and
 Jackson were taken down last week due to poor and declining health.
 Replacement landscaping will be installed this April.
 b. Netzley Quarry
 The work around the small quarry is about 90% complete. The Park
 District has not heard anything from the adjacent neighbors. While it is
 too muddy to work in the area right now, the Park District plans to

 complete the work soon.

 e. Papanos Retirement
 Chuck Papanos, long-time Riverwalk Commissioner and outstanding
 caretaker of the Naperville Riverwalk, has announced that he will retire
 on April 17, 2020.
 3. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that the Riverwalk Commission’s recommendation to
 proceed with Alternative No. 1 in one phase is on the March 3, 2020
 agenda for the City Council meeting agenda. Members questioned if they
 should attend the meeting to show support for the recommendation.
 Novack stated that while it was not necessary it would be nice. One
 Council member had questions about the Commission and staff’s level of
 confidence in the recommended solution and the cost estimate. Novack
 replied that the confidence is much higher than four years ago due to the
 wide-range of professional who have had input on this recommendation.
 4. Riverwalk Master Plan - Geoff Roehll for Pat Kennedy

 In Kennedy’s absence Roehll led this discussion. GRWA passed out their
 latest draft of the document which everyone reviewed on the spot and
 provided the following comments:
 Joseph noted that reference should be made to the 200 year celebration of
 the City and the 50 year celebration of the Riverwalk in 2031; that will add
 context to why we are planning for that year.
 a. Roehll discussed the north shore project and how it differed from when
 it was first introduced 17 years ago. The old plan envisioned taking a
 property from the downtown, whereas this plan provides a pedestrian
 passage as part of redevelopment of the property, while keeping the
 property on the tax rolls.
 b. It was noted that this is a working draft and that Rick Hitchcock will be
 writing up the text when he returns.
 c. Names of private commercial businesses will be removed from the
 maps.
 d. GRWA will see if there is a better way to connect the south extension on
 the overall map.
 e. GRWA will also look at not using the green and blue call-out letters so
 individuals who struggle with colors will not be challenged.
 f. There was a great amount of discussion about whether and how to
 show the cost of the improvements, and even future maintenance cost.
 This may be best to revisit after the text has been added so we can see
 how it all looks together.

 g. Everyone was excited with the progress made in the last month and that
 this document has a lot of potential for success.
 h. Anyone with additional comments for GRWA should send them to
 Roehll so he can consolidate them and send them to GRWA.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 Novack questioned if the March 31, 2020 PDC meeting should be
 cancelled since it appears that many Commissioners will be absent due to
 spring break. It was agreed by all present that the March 31, 2020 meeting
 would not be held, and that the next PDC meeting will be on May 5, 2020.
