D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack


 Concur with the Planning, Design and Construction Committee and recommend
 Alternative #1, repair the Moser Tower in one phase as the recommended solution
 to the Naperville City Council
 Members of the public were invited to share their thoughts on the Moser
 Tower. Galitz, Hitchcock and Schweitzer all spoke in favor of repairing the
 tower and collectively think that the Riverwalk Commission and the PDC
 Committee have done an outstanding job with this complicated issue .
 Hitchcock mentioned that he felt solid methodology was used to come to
 the recommendation to repair the tower without enclosing it. Schweitzer
 added that she felt more information should be shared about the negative
 impact that decommissioning the tower would have on the community. She
 also shared that she feels decommissioning the tower is opposite of the
 can-do spirit of Naperville.

 Novack gave a brief update of the Moser Tower discussion from the
 February 4, 2020 PDC meeting. He reviewed the three Alternatives and
 their associated costs. He stated that the PDC voted unanimously in favor
 of the recommendation to repair the tower without enclosing it with a
 preference for a single phase of construction.

 February 2, 2020 PDC meeting was a working meeting where additional
 information was shared with GRWA regarding the general format of the

 Commissioners to attend the next PDC meeting to provide additional input.
 The draft document is scheduled to be presented at the May meeting with a
 vote to accept the final draft in June. Commissioners were reminded that
