B. ROLL CALL:

 Commission Chairman

 Absent: Valla Aguilar, Judy Brodhead, Jeff Friant, John Joseph, Debra

C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Cunningham requested that the Riverwalk Commission consider the
 possibility of adjusting the text on the Webster Street Bridge sign to include
 wayfinding language directing guests to the hotel, shops and restaurants on
 Water Street. He distributed an exhibit with several suggestions.

 Penick said, although she’s not a proponent of many signs, if we agree to
 the change of text on the sign on the north side if the bridge, that she thinks
 we should add a sign on the south side of the Webster Street Bridge
 directing folks to the downtown.

 It was also suggested that if the text on the existing sign is changed that a
 line directing the public to the Jaycees Park should be added.

 After discussion, the proposed Water Street text to be added to the
 existing sign would read as follows:
 ◄▬ Water Street Shops, Restaurants & Hotel

 The proposed sign change will be discussed at the July 11, 2018 Riverwalk
 Commission meeting.

 Penick asked to amend Item D.5. of the June 5, 2018 Planning, Design
 and Construction Committee minutes to reflect her concerns about
 Harmony Park.
 A motion to approve the amended June 5, 2018 minutes was made by
 Roehll, seconded by Kennedy. AMENDED MOTION CARRIED with
 Novack abstaining.
 2. Park District Report - Chuck Papanos

 The Riverwalk has experienced additional vandalism. The sink in the
 men’s bathroom at Fredenhagen Park was torn off the wall. In addition,
 several of the balusters were knocked out of the railings at the Gregory
 Gazebo. Penick mentioned that the lettering is beginning to disintegrate
 on the Netzley/Schumacher “What We Need” stone. Papanos agreed to
 go inspect the memorial.
 3. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack/Brian Dusak

 Dusak reported that ERA should receive the results of the onsite testing
 from e2chem and Brush Architects next week. After reviewing that
 information, ERA will incorporate it with the information they have gathered
 to write an amendment to the original report. The draft amendment should
 be completed by the middle of August. Keeping the format consistent with
 the original report, the draft amendment will include any new findings, an
 updated cost opinion and clarify assumptions made on the original report.
 4. Naperville Jaycees Park formely Tech Park - Geoff Roehll

 Construction documents for the Jaycees 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.

 Much discussion has taken place regarding the treatment of the trellis roof.
 Several options for material have been explored including fabric,
 perforated metal, acrylic, and various wood products. It has been
 determined that IPE wood is the most durable and cost effective for this
 application. The City’s Department of Public Works has been instrumental
 in developing a mockup of the trellises to be used on site.

 A water station will be installed along the east wall of the Naperville
 Municipal Center that will feature a water bottle filling station and separate
 drinking fountains for humans and dogs.

 4”x8” smooth, granite-colored Hollandstone pavers will be used on the
 perimeter of the park while the Il Campo finish permeable pavers will be

 used in the plazas.

 The possibility of including interpretive signage at the rain garden was
 mentioned.

 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.
 5. Harmony Park - Geoff Roehll

 Roehll reported that the Park 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 is scheduled
 for 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.
 6. Riverwalk Maintenance Agreement - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that the Riverwalk Maintenance Agreement was approved
 by the City Council with very little comment mainly due to the Park District
 who was willing to review their actual expenses and reduce their
 reimbursement request accordingly. This provided a substantial reduction
 in their reimbursement.

 The addition of Harmony Park to the Riverwalk was included in the
 Maintenance Agreement.

 The new agreement expires on December 31, 2021 with two 1-year
 extensions if all parties agree.
 7. Bicycles on the Riverwalk - Chuck Papanos

 Three new signs will be installed on the east extension of the Riverwalk; on
 the north end of the pathway near Fredenhagen Park, one on the south end
 of the pathway near Hillside Road and a two-sided sign in the middle of the
 two locations. Erickson has received pricing on the new signs which should
 be ready for installation within the next few weeks. The Park District will
 provide the posts and finials and will do the installation.

 Penick related an encounter with a Riverwalk guest as it relates to the Do
 Not Feed the Wildlife signage.
 8. Refresh the Labyrinth - Chuck Papanos

 Papanos reported that the Park District has attempted to pressure wash
 and coat the labyrinth twice. They will wait until school is in session to try
 again.
 9. Annual Work Plan/PA022 - Bill Novack

 Novack distributed and reviewed an updated 2018 annual work plan.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

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

 The Riverwalk has been fortunate to have been given many wonderful gifts
 throughout the years however with each gift comes the responsibility of
 maintenance. The committee discussed the possibility of developing a
 policy to share the maintenance cost for new amenities to the Riverwalk. It
 was suggested that the proposed policy include the requirement for a
 life-cycle analysis including maintenance costs for each new amenity. An
 explanation of a funding source could also be included in the policy. Roehll
 explained how the University of Illinois has addressed the same
 maintenance concerns.

 Some suggested questions to consider when writing a new policy are as
 follows:
 How long will an asset be used?
 What is the annual maintenance cost?
 What would the cost be to decommission the asset?
 What is the donor’s financial commitment?
 Who maintains the asset?
 Are there public safety issues?

 Additional discussion will take place prior to policy being set.
