D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that the crack mapping is complete. ERA is waiting for
 the results of the structural modelling before incorporating that information
 into their update. He hopes to have an updated report submitted in August
 or September. It will probably be discussed at the Planning, Design &
 Construction Committee in September or October.


 2. Riverwalk Development Guidelines - Pat Kennedy

 Kennedy stated that an updated list should be compiled by consolidating
 existing projects and incorporating new projects that have been vetted by
 the committee. He suggested that the resulting projects be prioritized and
 grouped into a couple of “buckets” according to budgeted costs. Following
 that process, he would like to see a marketing plan developed that would
 include a vision statement, project description, impact statement, concept
 plan with visuals, concept budget and fundraising strategy. Roehll
 suggested the possibility of adding a project to address the bicycle traffic
 from Hillside Road to Washington Street. The process will continue at the
