 through slowly, and they are working on cleaning up some of the tables at
 the Grand Pavilion. Centennial Beach is being pumped down to repair a
 cracked pipe and filling will begin in mid-April.
 3. 2022 Riverwalk Work Plan (PA022) - Bill Novack and Tom Stibbe

 Novack reported that the sign additions for the Riverwalk Master Plan are
 the first expenditures for PA022 funds. Additional funds may be used for
 the retaining wall near Aurora Avenue and the erosion on the west
 extension near Sindt Woods.

 Discussion followed on a suggested date for the annual Asset
 Management Plan Walk within the first two weeks of May. Thursday, May
 12th, was tentatively agreed upon and it was noted that a
 presentation/Riverwalk tour was scheduled for that same date with
 Erickson, Holzhauer and Monarch Landing, most likely earlier in the day.
 Kennedy asked Hitchcock and Erickson to confirm there would be no
 conflict.
 4. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that the contractor has completed the concrete work on
 the tower. Steel work has also been completed and they are finishing the
 painting. Most of the concrete has been stripped from the first level façade
 and an area where water may have been getting in has been discovered
 and will be addressed as they continue to work on waterproofing.
 Landscaping and paver work will follow. Dusak advised of an upcoming
 meeting to review any remaining items to make sure they can continue
 toward completion, which is still expected near Memorial Day. Novack
 added that the plaster work on the lower level needs to be completed in
 warmer weather.
 5. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Kennedy acknowledged the advancement of engaging a consultant for the
 communication materials, noting that he will be working with Novack to
 address the contract execution issues. Joseph reported that proposals
 were requested from five firms, and two very good proposals have been
 received. The process is currently on hold until the contracting issue is
 resolved.

 Hitchcock noted that the Naperville Downtown Advisory Committee met
 yesterday and requested a presentation on the Riverwalk 2031 Master
 Plan. Novack and Doug Krieger are the City liaisons and Christine
 Jeffries, Administrator, sets the agenda. The meeting is held on the first
 Monday of the month at 3:30 p.m. Erickson will contact Jeffries.

 Kennedy inquired if there were any additional presentations that needed to
 be scheduled. Bartlett noted that a Downtown Naperville Alliance Board
 meeting was scheduled for the following day and Erickson mentioned a
 Chamber Legislative Committee event scheduled for some time in May.

 Bartlett noted that the Riverwalk Master Plan was not included in the State
 of the City address. Discussion followed about the impact of including it
 next year, once all the communication materials are in place.
 6. Riverwalk Master Plan Signage - Bill Novack

 Peterson advised that the proof received from the manufacturer does not
 match the color of the existing signs, so they are working to correct.

 Joseph discussed the challenge with the “Learn More” QR code for the
 signage that directs the viewer to the pdf of the Riverwalk 2031 Master
 Plan on the City’s website. The plan shows whole portions of the Riverwalk
 and the maps do not render well on mobile phones. The City’s
 Communications staff cannot build a mobile friendly version. Friant
 discussed identifying if the website or the pdf needed to be modified to a
 mobile friendly version and suggested the possibility of developing a
 “lighter” version of the plan that identifies key points but references a way to
 view the full document. The consultant that will be selected for the
 communications material could prepare this but the cost wasn’t included in
 the initial scope. The Committee requested input from Peterson to see if
 GRWA can produce the same content in a different format, maybe with less
 text. Dusak will also check with his IT staff to see if they can provide a
 solution. Joseph asked that Peterson and Dusak communicate any
 updates regarding this to him via email since he will not be at next week’s
 Riverwalk Commission meeting.
 7. Erosion at the river bend downstream from Jefferson - Bill Novack

 Novack and Dusak are working to set up a meeting with ERA and Jennifer
 Hammer of the Conservation Foundation. They will be looking at
 combinations of natural and structural improvements and may be able to
 provide temporary reinforcement with funds this year or include as a capital
 project in next year’s budget.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. Asset Management Plan - Tom Stibbe

 Stibbe is working on the Asset Management Plan and will have it ready in
 time for the Asset Management Plan Walk, tentatively scheduled for
 Thursday, May 12, 2022, at 3:00 p.m.
