 Stibbe reported that bulbs were beginning to peek through and staff has
 been busy with pruning and invasive removals along the river. The
 beach has gone through the first cleaning and their Trades Department
 will be doing annual maintenance soon. The sled hill and ice rink are
 down. The first delivery of spring flowers was received yesterday and
 will be going in planters within the next two weeks.
 3. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 Novack advised that the project is near completion and the contractor
 was in last week to address some issues with bricks on the Eagle Street
 walkway. Landscape work is all that remains and they are awaiting
 three consecutive days of 55 degree or warmer weather so the pots can
 adhere to the piers.
 4. Fredenhagen Park Fountain - Bill Novack

 Novack will be meeting with a representative from the Exchange Club of
 Naperville and Tom Castagnoli later this morning to discuss different
 alternatives to the Exchange Club Memories Fountain. Discussion
 followed on ideas for possible alternatives to the fountain such as
 sculptures, light installations, fire pits, splash pads and lesser scale
 water features. Stibbe noted the twice-daily maintenance involved with
 splash pads. The possibility of engaging the community for ideas was
 also brought up and further discussion will be held at next week’s
 Riverwalk Commission meeting.
 5. Fredenhagen Park Maintenance - Bill Novack and Tom Stibbe

 Stibbe has contacted four additional contractors and received one quote
 back for the maintenance work for the Ipe wood and various structures
 at Fredenhagen Park. He will have more information for review at next
 month’s PDC meeting.

 6. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Kennedy inquired about the timeline for reviewing the Master Plan.
 Friant will review the agreed upon timeline at next week’s Riverwalk
 Commission meeting. Bartlett will be presenting to her Naperville
 Chamber of Commerce teamwork team next week.

 Kennedy discussed the Monarch and pollinator efforts that were to be
 promoted by City Council per their recent resolution in support of the
 DuPage Monarch project and enhancement and expansion of available
 habitat for Monarch butterflies and other native pollinators. He noted the
 importance of coordinating this initiative with the Prairie Nature Garden
 project in the Master Plan.

 Novack added that the extension of ERA’s former contract was set for
 approval at the next City Council meeting since there were purchase
 orders created for the Eagle Street Gateway and South Extension
 projects that closed out when the new contract was initiated.

 Dusak provided a brief update on the Eagle Street Gateway project.
 They have received information from the City on the National
 Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and are reviewing before they
 make their resubmittal to DuPage County for the second review. They
 are still anticipating going out to bid in summer so the project can be
 constructed this year. Temporary irrigation was brought up with Stibbe
 noting that having irrigation installed would make it easier to maintain.
 Dusak advised they should have an update on final quantities and
 estimates for next month’s PDC meeting and will review with the group
 prior to going out to bid.
 7. Riverwalk Bicentennial Fund - Pat Kennedy

 Kennedy noted that a seat has been created on the Riverwalk
 Commission for a member from the Riverwalk Bicentennial Fund (RBF).
 Hitchcock advised that John Joseph has been nominated to fill this
 position. Cuff inquired about the marketing material with Hitchcock
 advising that the PowerPoint and brochure have been created but they
 are unsure of the status of the video. An update will be provided at next
 week’s Riverwalk Commission meeting.
 8. South Extension Preliminary Design - Brian Dusak

 Dusak advised they are refining the agreed upon concept drawing and
 have met with Ryan Companies and Edward Hospital, who were
 receptive to the possibility of incorporating specific elements to make
 sure everything looks intentional with regard to the Riverwalk and the
 hospital campus entrance. Prior to preliminary engineering, Kennedy
 would like to have one exhibit, a conceptual budget and schedule to

 share with Edward Hospital for their input at their next meeting.

 Peterson provided an overview of the concept drawings, noting they
 were closer to a final design with Concept B. He and Hitchcock
 reviewed some possible updates to the design and stressed the
 importance of getting the layout correct. Peterson expressed concern
 with what the plaza will look like and the existing infrastructure of the
 light poles and traffic signals. Discussion followed on the cost of burying
 approximately five ComEd poles that run on the east side of Washington
 Street, with Hitchcock suggesting the Commission make a strong case
 to have them buried. Novack will be meeting with the City’s Utilities
 Department later this week. The importance of the connection near
 Hillside Road was also discussed with Novack adding that the low flow
 walkway underneath Hillside would be under water at times. The group
 was in agreement with the direction of the reviewed concept.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. Discussion on setting date for Asset Management Plan Walk - Bill Novack and
 Tom Stibbe
 A tentative date of Thursday, May 4th at 3:00 p.m. was set for the Asset
 Management Plan Walk and will be discussed and confirmed at next
 week’s Riverwalk Commission meeting. Friant will confirm if this date
 works with the annual review process of the Master Plan.
 2. Update on Washington Street Bridge Construction - Bill Novack

 Novack advised that construction has begun with Nicor doing utility work
 on Washington Street, Chicago and Aurora Avenue. Tree removal is in
 place and temporary utility poles have been going up. Steel beams
 should be in this week and will be put underneath the west section of the
 bridge while work is being done on the east side. Traffic should be
 moved over to the west side by the second half of April.
