 Lellbach.
 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.


 2. Park District - Tom Stibbe

 a. Riverwalk Fountains
 The Riverwalk fountains have been turned off due to increased
 vandalism. All three fountains have been frequently “soaped”, so the
 decision was made to close them a little early this year. With the
 closing of the Riverwalk fountains, the Imburgia Fountain at Water
 Street has been the next target of the soaping.
 b. Harmony Park
 The dedication plaque for Harmony Park has been installed.
 c. Removal of Invasives
 The Park District has hired a contractor to begin removing some of the
 invasives on the south bank of the DuPage River, immediately west of
 Eagle Street.


 3. Riverwalk 2020 Work Plan - Bill Novack

 Novack gave an overview what is scheduled to be completed before the
 end of 2020 including the replacement of plantings in Fredenhagen Park
 and the Veteran’s Plaza that are overgrown and have outlived their useful
 life, engineering plans to repair the curb/railing on the east side of the
 Paddle Boat Quarry and the replacement of donor light pole plaques along
 Jackson Ave. There is a small balance remaining which may be used to
 complete other necessary Riverwalk repairs or replacements.

 Novack was asked to give an update on the progress of the Washington
 Street Bridge replacement. The City is waiting for IDOT to complete their

 review. When that is complete, the next objective will be to focus on land
 acquisition. Due to the length of time it is taking to do the review, the
 commencement of construction may be pushed back from 2021 to early
 2022.


 4. Moser Tower Rehabilitation – Bill Novack

 ERA is working on the engineering/design for the repair of the Moser
 Tower. Construction documents are scheduled to be completed in the
 autumn, with preliminary details to be submitted in November. The project
 is scheduled to go out for bid in early 2021. Construction is scheduled to
 begin in early spring, weather dependent. The construction timeline will
 take the carillon summer schedule into account, if possible.


 5. Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan - Pat Kennedy


 Receive the September 11, 2020 Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan.
 Attachments: Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan 20200911

 Kennedy reported that the master plan was presented to the Park District
 Parks/Rec Committee and at the September Park Board workshop. The
 Park Board will consider endorsing the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan at their
 October 8, 202 meeting and the plan will be on the October 20, 2020 City
 Council agenda for consideration as well. The Commission is hopeful that
 both elected bodies will endorse the plan.

 There was much discussion about the next steps. Kennedy suggested that
 an Implementation group consisting of two subcommittees be formed. One
 subcommittee would be focused on how best to share the master plan with
 the community while the other subcommittee would address how best to
 engage possible donors/partners. The question of timing was also
 discussed in terms of the impact that the corona virus has had on local
 organizations.

 All agreed that signage at each project site would be a good way to begin
 to share the twelve exciting projects that comprise the master plan.
 Commissioners will work with GRWA to design a template for the signs.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 No new business was discussed.
