 3. Development Guidelines - Bill Novack


 Receive the May 14, 2019 Riverwalk Development Guidelines Ad Hoc Committee
 minutes.
 Novack stated that the guidelines were discussed at an initial kick-off
 meeting in early May and then continued at the last PD&C meeting. To
 date the group has gone through all of the projects on the list. The next step
 is for anyone to bring to the group any new or additional projects that
 should be considered for addition to the list. Discussion on the
 Development Guidelines will continue at the July 2 PD&C meeting. There
 was discussion about whether the next PD&C meeting should be held on
 July 2 or the following week on July 9. Several members would miss one of
 the dates; and the possibility of having a quorum looked low for both dates.
 It was decided to keep the original date, July 2.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 Hitchcock inquired if the City had received any news relative to new funding
 following the passage of the budget by the State of Illinois. Hitchcock and
 Kennedy both noted that in the budget it looked like there was a large pool
 of money slated for OSLAD (Open Space Land Acquisition and
 Development) grants. Historically these grants have been used for
 park-related projects. Novack responded that he was not aware of any
 large funds that had been reserved for the Naperville community.

 1. Approval of Minutes - Geoff Roehll


 Approve the May 8, 2019 Riverwalk Commission minutes.

 A motion to approve the May 8, 2019 Riverwalk Commission meeting

 exactly the same as the previous month, with the exception of the date. We

 do expect to see spending in the next couple of months as we awarded the
 bid for the roof replacement of the building at Fredenhagen Park. The low
 bidder came with excellent references so we look forward to their work.


 4. Park District - Chuck Papanos


 Receive the monthly Park District report.

 a. Healing Field of Honor
 Papanos reported that the Healing Field of Honor will be back on
 Rotary Hill from November 1 through November 11. This year’s theme
 will be Remembering a Century of Heroes and Heritage as this is the
 100th anniversary of the end of World War I and the 100th birthday of
 the American Legion.
 b. WGN Morning Television Show
 On July 12, 2019, the WGN morning news show will be broadcasting
 from an area near the Dandelion Fountain on the Riverwalk from 6 AM
 until 10 AM. Several thousand people are expected to attend. The
 event will feature a bounce house, dunk tank, live music and a mini
 parade. Hitchcock suggested that we provide them with good facts
 about the Riverwalk. It was agreed that the information would be
 directed through Katie Wood of the Downtown Naperville Alliance since
 she has been coordinating with WGN.


 5. Riverwalk Foundation - John Cuff

 Cuff noted that the Foundation’s next meeting will be next week. They have
 their annual duck race coming up on August 14th. The Foundation would
 appreciate all of the help they can get with this annual event. This event
 helps to promote the Foundation’s mission of enhancing and education
 about the Riverwalk.


 6. Donor Recognition - Jan Erickson

 Erickson stated that it has been quiet lately. All of the bricks from the
 spring order have been installed.


 7. Public Relations - Valla Aguilar

 Aguilar stated that she is considering changing this report up a little. She
 plans to use a media monitoring service which will include social media
 information. In the last month she found that the Naperville Riverwalk was
 mentioned in 50 articles, 155 social media posts and 11 broadcasts.
 Aguilar stated that she is open to all feedback regarding this format, so if
 any Commissioners have any thoughts please share them with her.

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes June 12, 2019

 Hitchcock noted that during the month of May portions of the Riverwalk
 were under water for record number of times; most members agreed with
 his observation. Hitchcock noted that the Riverwalk is prepared for this
 occurrence by design, and the newer sections of the Riverwalk are holding
 up well during the periods of inundation. We should consider how we get
 the information out that having portions of the Riverwalk underwater during
 high rain periods is to be expected and that it was actually part of the
 design and consideration.


 8. Planning, Design, and Construction - Patrick Kennedy


 Receive the June 4, 2019 Riverwalk Planning, Design & Construction Committee
 minutes.
 Novack provided an update for Kennedy who was not able to attend the
 last meeting. He noted that most of the meeting was consumed with the
 development guidelines discussion.
