 freezing cold weather.
 5. Riverwalk Foundation - John Cuff

 The Riverwalk Foundation (RWF) continues to seek small projects that will
 enhance the Riverwalk. Their mission does not support funding
 maintenance projects. They are open to projects that will accommodate
 matching funds. They have approached the Park District with the
 suggestion that the RWF provide funds for the project if the Park District
 would provide in-kind manpower. They are also open to service
 organizations that may be interested in co-sponsoring a project. Some of
 the opportunities include finding additional ways to use the building at
 Fredenhagen Park, developing 430 S. Washington and the possibility of
 phasing the south extension project.
 6. Donor Recognition - Jan Erickson

 Erickson reported that the donor bricks for the fall order have been installed
 and that the replacement bricks should be delivered within the next couple
 of weeks. Due to the cold weather, the replacement bricks will likely be
 stored for the winter and installed in the spring. The spring order will be
 submitted in the middle of March for a late May installation.
