 installing the landscaping and assembling furniture. Next, the wall drinking
 fountain with a water bottle filling station will be installed along with the
 signage. Barring weather issues, the project should be finished toward the
 end of the month. No date has been scheduled for a grand opening yet.


 2. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Novack explained that local quality control/quality assurance experts have
 suggested that there should be additional modeling done to complete the
 structural assessment. The modeling will include a dynamic analysis of the
 structure and explore how the structure functions under different
 circumstances at specific stress points. A crack map of the structure will
 also be completed. The additional investigation is expected to take
 approximately eight weeks.

 CARRIED


 2. Chairman - Geoff Roehll

 A big thank you to Jeanne Buddingh for her commitment for the past six
 years. During her tenure, she has monitored the Riverwalk in the media.
 She has chaired the Planning, Design & Construction Committee for the
 past three years. Buddingh was point person on the very important
 Riverwalk survey that garnered more responses than the City of Naperville
 survey. The information collected from the survey will be very beneficial
 during the discussions on the Development Guidelines. Thanks again
 Jeanne!


 3. Finance - Bill Novack

 Novack distributed and reviewed the March 2019 financial report for the
 Riverwalk CIP and Operations Budgets. The only change from the last
 report was a $16 operating expense. There has been no further movement
 on the 430 S. Washington project.


 4. Park District - Chuck Papanos


 Receive the Park District monthly report.

 a. Flood Waters
 The recent flood has resulted in “normal damages” but nothing critical
 although there is a lot of shoreline scour. The plantings on the Water
 Street section of the Riverwalk have held up better than in the past
 which demonstrates that the plantings are taking root and more tolerant

 of the flood waters.
 b. Riverwalk Fountains
 Dandelion Fountain is open. The Horse Trough fountain and Exchange
 Club Memories Fountain are both under repair and scheduled to be
 running soon.
 c. Annual Bulb Sale
 The annual Park District bulb sale is scheduled to take place at the
 Smykal Pavilion on Friday, May 17, 2019 at 8:00 a.m. The cost of 10
 bulbs is $3 and they sell out quickly.


 5. Riverwalk Foundation - John Cuff

 Cuff gave an overview of the Riverwalk Foundation’s purview, reminding
 Commissioners that the focus of the group is not on maintenance but on
 education. He shared some historical information about the RWF as well
 as the Foundation’s impact on the Riverwalk. He stated that the RWF fully
 supports the new Riverwalk maintenance policy and is very pleased with
 the final draft. He is hoping the RWF and Riverwalk Commission will have
 the opportunity to become better acquainted and work more closely in the
 future.

 The upcoming annual Duck Race will take place on Wednesday, August
 14, 2019. The attendance continues to grow each year. The RWF uses
 this event to educate the community about the Riverwalk and the negative
 impacts of feeding wildlife. The group is currently seeking sponsorships for
 the Duck Race.


 6. Donor Recognition - Jan Erickson

 Erickson reported that the bricks for the spring order have been delivered .
 Installation is scheduled for May 15, 2019. Several donors will be present
 to select the location of their brick with a total of 30 bricks to be installed.
 Sales continue for the fall installation.


 7. Public Relations - Jeanne Buddingh

 Buddingh reported that since our last meeting, the Riverwalk was
 highlighted or mentioned in 28 articles, advertisements and/or videos in the
 local media. The highlights include the Riverwalk flooding featured on
 television (channels 2, 7,17, 32 and CNN) as well as the front page of the
 Chicago Tribune newspaper. The assessment and repairs on the Moser
 Tower were also covered.

 Over the past six years, Buddingh has had the pleasure to monitor 1,129
 Riverwalk mentions in the media, both local and national. The average is

 brand, an economic engine for the downtown market and the crown Jewel
 of Naperville. Aguilar will assume the Public Relations duties beginning in
 June 2019.
