D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 There is no new information to report. Later this summer, Engineering
 Resource Associates will submit their amendment to the report.


 2. Naperville Jaycees Park formerly Tech Park - Jeanne Buddingh for Geoff Roehll

 Buddingh read the report from Roehll stating that construction documents
 for the Jaycee Park have been submitted to the City’s review team. V3 has
 met with DuPage County. As the project involves only a “cut” rather than
 “fill, the only stormwater requirement is a General Certificate. This
 certificate has been granted eliminating the need for a stormwater permit.

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes July 11, 2018



 The City’s Department of Public Works will do the metal work and
 underdrain work as well as act as the general contractor on the project .
 The electrical, concrete and landscaping work will be bid out.

 Once all approvals have been granted and a contractor has been chosen,
 the park should take less than 90 days to build, given good weather. The
 lower Riverwalk pathways will be closed during construction while the upper
 walkway will remain open.


 3. Harmony Park - Jeanne Buddingh for Geoff Roehll

 Buddingh read the report from Roehll stating that the Park District Board
 approved the addition of Harmony Park to the Riverwalk at their June 14,
 2018 meeting. The City council approved the addition of the park at their
 June 19, 2018 meeting. Rotary Club has agreed to a one-time payment to
 fund the first five years of maintenance for Harmony Park. A
 pre-construction meeting was held on July 10, 2018. Instruments have a
 two to three week lead-time. Construction could commence by the end of
 summer and should take approximately four weeks to complete. A
 possible ground breaking or dedication will be determined by the Mayor’s
 Office.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. Maintenance Policy for Additions to the Riverwalk - Bill Novack

 The Riverwalk has been approached many times throughout the years to
 accept new amenities to the park. The gifts are greatly appreciated but
 with each additional amenity comes the burden of maintenance costs. The
 idea to develop a practice or policy to include maintenance costs in the
 acceptance of a gift was discussed.
 It was suggested that, among other things, the policy should include
 information about the following:
 · The life cycle of the gift e.g. how long the amenity is expected to last
 · What the expected maintenance cost would be and who should be
 responsible for funding those costs
 An analogy was made that these gifts are not like gifting a chair but more
 like a puppy that has ongoing responsibilities and care. Erickson will
 explore how other municipalities and organizations address the issue of
 ongoing maintenance from gifted amenities.
