C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 No one from the public wished to address the Riverwalk Commission.


D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Engineering Resource Associates expects to submit their addendum to the
 report next month. The Riverwalk Commission will review and discuss the
 findings. The City’s Communications Department will coordinate a press
 conference sometime after the addendum has been received.


 2. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll

 All but four financial commitments have been received excluding the
 multi-year agreements. The Mayor is waiting to schedule a ground
 breaking until all expected funding has been received.

 The City’s Development Review Team has returned their initial comments.
 There were no substantive comments and the plans have been resubmitted
 with responses.

 DuPage County has issued a General Certificate, eliminating the need for
 a stormwater permit, as the project involves a “cut” rather than “fill”.

 The project is shovel-ready and the City is collecting bids.

 The Jaycees will be selling approximately 1,000 4”x8” bricks that will be
 placed along the perimeter of the park.


 3. Harmony Park - Geoff Roehll

 A pre-construction meeting took place on July 10, 2018. Unfortunately, the
 manufacturer of the outdoor instruments experienced a fire in their facility
 extending the delivery time. Construction is now expected to commence
 the week following Labor Day. Barring any weather delays, the project
 should take about three weeks to complete.


 4. Maintenance Policies for Additions to the Riverwalk - Bill Novack

 Novack explained that there was good discussion at the Planning, Design
 & Construction (PDC) Committee regarding possible options to be written
 into policy. Novack suggested that after some consideration about how
 other municipalities and agencies, it could be feasible to require funding for
 the maintenance of a donated amenity as part of the approval process. It
 was also suggested that there could be two different ways to manage future
 maintenance of Riverwalk assets. If the new asset is conceived by the
 Riverwalk Commission then the maintenance cost would be the City’s
 responsibility. If the new asset was conceived by an outside entity, the
 maintenance cost would be the responsibility of the donating entity.

 The Riverwalk Commission will continue to discuss options. Once a
 process has been selected, the City Council will be advised.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 No new business was brought before the Riverwalk Commission.


F. REPORTS:

 1. Minutes - Geoff Roehll

 3. Finance - Bill Novack

 Novack distributed and reviewed the May 2018 monthly financial report for
 the Riverwalk CIP and Operations Budgets.

 The City of Naperville has begun the budget process for 2019 through
 2023. Novack reviewed the suggested changes to the Operations Budget
 for 2019 and explained that the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
 Budget will focus on projects that are necessary rather than “nice to haves”.
 The City is moving toward a maintenance mode rather than a building
 mode making the Riverwalk Asset Management Plan (AMP) even more
 valuable.


 4. Park District - Chuck Papanos


 Receive the Park District monthly report

 a. New Signs
 i. The updated sign that includes wayfinding to the Water Street
 shops, hotel and restaurants has been installed adjacent to the
 Eagle Street Bridge.
 ii. Three new signs designed to encourage bicyclists to dismount
 and walk their bikes on the Riverwalk have been delivered and will
 be installed in the east extension shortly. Penick suggested that
 bike racks be placed adjacent to the dismount and walk your bike
 signage.
 b. West Extension Restrooms
 The Warming Shelter restrooms will be updated beginning in late
 September continuing through November. The plan calls for enclosing
 the existing footprint and increasing the number of stalls for both the
 men’s and women’s facilities.
 c. Jaycees Playground
 The Jaycees Playground will be renovated in 2019. The intent is to
 leave the existing curbing and some of the landscaping while updating
 the rest of the playground area. Papanos will keep the Riverwalk
 Commission updated as the project progresses.
 d. Riverwalk Parking Lot Wall & Drinking Fountain Repairs
 The intent is to repair the parking lot wall and drinking fountain at the
 same time. The desire is to complete the repairs before winter.


 5. Riverwalk Foundation - Stephanie Penick

 a. Duck Race
 The third annual Duck Race will be hosted by the RWF on Wednesday,
 August 15 at 10:00 a.m. Riverwalk Commissioners are encouraged to

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes August 8, 2018

 volunteer on race day. A Creative Costume Contest will be added to
 this year’s festivities. Entrants will dress up their oversized duck and
 will win bragging rights if their duck is chosen to be the best dressed.
 The cost to participate in this new enhancement event is $100 per duck.
 More information and the opportunity to “adopt” ducks can be found at
 www.RiverwalkDuckRace.com <http://www.RiverwalkDuckRace.com>.
 The take away message of the day is "Please Don’t Feed the Wildlife"
 as it is detrimental to their health.
 b. Next Riverwalk Foundation Meeting
 The next Riverwalk Foundation is scheduled for September 17, 2018 at
 6:30 p.m.


 6. Donor Recognition - Jan Erickson

 Erickson reported that orders are currently being accepted for the fall
 installation. The deadline will be early September with a mid-October
 installation.


 7. Public Relations - Jeanne Buddingh

 Buddingh reported that since our last meeting the Riverwalk was
 highlighted or mentioned in 16 articles, advertisements and/or videos in the
 local media. The highlights include the Park District’s recent decision to
 ban smoking in public parks excluding the Riverwalk and golf courses,
 Karen Peck’s vigil, the Riverwalk Duck Race and an article about fountains
 on Riverwalks.
