A. CALL TO ORDER:

 Planning, Design & Construction Committee (PDC) Chairman Kennedy called
 the June 30, 2020 Naperville Riverwalk PDC meeting to order at 7:30 a.m.
 Kennedy read a statement explaining the reasons for meeting via the Zoom
 Video Conferencing App with an explanation of how the public can participate in
 the meeting

B. ROLL CALL:

 Present: Pam Bartlett; John Cuff; Jeff Friant; John Joseph; Pat Kennedy,
 PD&C Committee Chairman; Bill Novack; Geoff Roehll, Riverwalk Commission
 Chairman; and Tom Stibbe

 Absent: Valla Aguilar; Judy Brodhead; Bobby Carlsen and Debra Lellbach

 Also Present: Christian Canizal, NCTV; Brian Dusak, ERA; Rick Hitchcock,
 Former Riverwalk Commission Chairman; Laura McSweeney, City Staff; Carl
 Peterson, GRWA; Marilyn Schweitzer, resident; Mary Lou Wehrli, DuPage
 Forest Preserve Commissioner

C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Wehrli asked what the process is for rehabilitation and maintenance of the
 Riverwalk. She also inquired about what body should be contacted with
 comments/concerns regarding the north end of the Riverwalk. Kennedy stated
 that there is a Riverwalk Asset Management Plan (AMP). Riverwalk
 Commissioners review the AMP along with an annual walk to evaluation areas
 that need maintenance and/or restoration. He also shared that, in the past,
 there have been a number of ideas for the north side of the Riverwalk brought to

City of Naperville Page 2 Printed on 8/20/2020
Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes June 30, 2020
Construction Committee

 the Commission and, after deliberation, the Commission collectively decided
 not to move forward with the ideas.

 Roehll clarified that south of Jefferson Avenue, the Riverwalk’s jurisdiction is
 from the brick pavers to the river. The area east of the pavers is the Park
 District’s responsibility, specifically the area east of the pavers and, as one
 walks through Sindt Woods, north of the pavers. Questions or concerns about
 that area should be directed to the Park District. Any questions regarding other
 Riverwalk areas should be directed to the Riverwalk Commission.

 Additional comments from Hitchcock, Schweitzer and Wehrli can be found
 under agenda item D.5.

D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Approval of Minutes - Pat Kennedy


 Approve the minutes from the June 2, 2020 Riverwalk Planning, Design and
 Construction Committee meeting.
 A motion to approve the June 2, 2020 Planning, Design & Construction
 Committee minutes was made by Roehll and seconded by Novack.
 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

 2. Park District - Tom Stibbe

 a. General Maintenance
 Park District Staff has planted flowers and provided the regular general
 care of the Riverwalk.
 b. Storm Damage
 The damage to the Riverwalk was minimal following the most recent
 events.
 c. Events
 There have been several peaceful protests on the Riverwalk.
 d. Centennial Beach
 The beach will be closed for the season.
 e. Fountains
 All decorative and drinking fountains are currently closed due to
 Covid-19.


 3. 2020 Riverwalk Work Plan (PA022) - Bill Novack

 a. Railings/Curbing: East Side of Paddle Boat Quarry
 The curbing supporting the railings on the east side of the Paddle Boat
 Quarry is cracking/broken and experiencing significant failure.
 Engineering Resource Assoc. (ERA) is exploring the area and will
 assess the extent of the damage. If the damage is minimal, the repair
 will likely happen yet this year. However, if it is a large repair, the

City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 8/20/2020
Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes June 30, 2020
Construction Committee

 project will likely become its own CIP and be completed in 2021.
 b. Donor Plaques
 Donor plaques will be replaced on the Jackson Avenue light poles as
 they were removed when the City installed new lights. The light poles
 are a different shape than the original poles.


 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. Following that, the project is scheduled to go out for bid in late
 autumn or early winter. 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 current Draft Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan.

 Wehrli shared her concern about incorrect historical information about
 Centennial Beach in the Riverwalk Evolution section of the Master Plan.
 She will share a link to the video titled “Thank for Your Cooperation” that
 recounts to the history of the beach.

 Schweitzer shared her comments regarding the Artists’ Overlook project.
 She suggested that any place on the Riverwalk could potentially be a good
 location to place a portable easel but not to have more than one permanent
 location and suggested showing fewer permanent easels in the concept
 illustration.

 As a review, the Riverwalk Commission approved that Draft Riverwalk
 2031 Master Plan and directed Commissioners to reach out to community
 partners and key stakeholders to seek their input. Two meetings have
 taken place; one, with the Riverwalk Foundation and a second with City
 and Park District officials/staff. Additional outreach is planned.

 Roehll mentioned that all of the Draft 2031 Master Plan projects are located
 on public property except for the Main Street to Washington Street
 Riverwalk. The conceptual illustration shows development on the north
 shore which would require land acquisition and/or easements. At one of
 the outreach meetings, it was suggested that it may be prudent to include
 some of those property owners on the list of future outreach meetings.

 To make the review process most effective and efficient, all comments and
 suggestions will be collected and assessed following the completion of
City of Naperville Page 4 Printed on 8/20/2020
Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes June 30, 2020
Construction Committee

 these meetings rather than update the Master Plan after each outreach
 meeting. It is anticipated that there will be overlapping
 comments/suggestions as well as other thoughtful advice. Modifications
 will then be made on the draft master plan before bringing the final
 document back to the Riverwalk Commission for approval and ultimately to
 the City Council and Naperville Park Board for endorsement. The timeline
 shows the completion of the outreach with partners and stakeholders by the
 end of August and presentation to the elected officials in September or
 October.

 Peterson collected the suggested updates and changes made by
 committee members as discussed at this meeting.
