CITY OF NAPERVILLE PUBLIC MEETINGS UPDATE:
On Friday, June 12, 2020, an amendment to the Open Meetings Act was signed into law. This

 3. 2020 Riverwalk Work Plan (PA022) - Bill Novack

 Novack gave an update on the 2020 work plan for the remainder of the
 year. The donor light pole plaques have been replaced, ERA is preparing
 the engineering design for the Paddle Boat Quarry structural walkway
 repair and the Park District is currently obtaining quotes for tree trimming.


 4. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 PDC Committee soon and that site visits would be set up beginning this
 week and coordinated with Stibbe and the Park District for access to the
 structure. Dusak will be able to further determine if there are any additional
 areas or change in quantities that require attention after this week’s initial

 visit.

 Novack advised that this 2021 CIP project is scheduled to be discussed
 with City Council next week. The project should be going out to bid in early
 2021 with construction beginning in spring or summer, weather dependent.

 Roehll discussed the importance of providing press releases and/or proper
 signage in advance of construction to advise the public of the upcoming
 project.


 5. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Novack reported that the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan was endorsed by the
 Park District Board at their October 8, 2020 meeting and by City Council at
 their October 20, 2020 meeting. Kennedy expressed his appreciation to
 everyone for their contributions with getting the working plan endorsed.

 Discussion began about execution of projects, fundraising, and alignment
 with partners. Shutes expressed the Park District’s excitement with the
 Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan and advised that they had been contacted by
 the Riverwalk Foundation about the ecological restoration along the south
 side of the river, from Eagle Street west. He inquired if the PDC
 Committee had specific plans regarding the shoreline restoration and cited
 the Park District’s experience with working with Novack and DuPage
 County. Kennedy described the Master Plan as being more of a concept
 and vision with each project needing to be further designed, budgeted and
 scheduled.

 It was agreed that an element of consistency would be needed with Stibbe
 noting that different riverbank restorations could not use the same standard
 as their maintenance plan would need to be different. Roehll agreed that
 the riverbank requires more native restoration and areas closer to
 walkways are more ornamental and have more invasive species. Low flow
 walkways are also different than the natural shoreline and need to be
 addressed because of their condition and potential impact on future
 restoration work.

 Novack suggested having Dusak meet with Park District staff this week to
 coordinate and decide specifics of concept and design. It was agreed that
 Cuff would attend and Dusak would coordinate with his structural team and
 work with Stibbe and Motta, advising Roehll of the meeting date/time.
 Motta, who is a member of the DuPage River Salt Creek Work Group,
 advised of the work they do with shoreline restoration and water quality
 improvements. She suggested that Dusak contact Steve McCracken and
 include them in the initial conversation to make sure that the shoreline

Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes November 3, 2020
Construction Committee

 restoration is good for the water quality. She also noted dam removal that
 is scheduled that could potentially change waterflows.

 Discussion followed regarding the need for the Implementation group that
 would consist of two teams: PR/Communications and Fundraising.
 Kennedy advised that more information would be available to discuss this
 further at next month’s meeting.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. Shepherd’s Crook Lights - Tom Stibbe
 Stibbe discussed the Shepherd’s Crook Lights that need to be
 replaced and the difficulty in finding parts. Novack advised that the
 City is in the process of replacing downtown ornamental lights with an
 LED fixture and Public Works will salvage the Shepherd’s Crook
 lights for us. Storage may be an issue and the process would take
 place over three years. Novack would like to develop a map of all
 ornamental lights and review which need to be replaced with Stibbe
 and Public Works. Roehll has information on a manufacturing
 company that was used previously and still makes the unique light
 fixtures. He will share the information with Novack and Stibbe.
