C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Canizal inquired if the Draft Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan has been
 uploaded to the City’s website. Since the document is still in draft form, it
 has not been uploaded yet. It will be uploaded after the final document is
 approved by the Riverwalk Commission.


D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Approval of Minutes - Pat Kennedy


 Approve minutes from the August 4, 2020 Riverwalk Planning, Design and

 A motion to approve the August 4, 2020 Planning, Design & Construction
 Committee minutes was made by Friant and seconded by Roehll.
 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.


 2. Park District - Tom Stibbe

 a. General Maintenance
 Park District Staff continues with general maintenance of the Riverwalk.
 With the very dry weather, they are doing a lot of watering. Volunteers
 are helping with the weeding.
 b. Events
 The “Midday Spray” will continue through September 11, 2020.
 c. Social Distancing Signage
 Decals and signage have been added to the Riverwalk encouraging
 social distancing and the use of face coverings. Stibbe has a few extra
 decals if they’re needed.
 d. Resident Concern about Lighting
 Stibbe reported that a resident has expressed concern about the
 possibility of LED lights strobing. The resident stated that the lights in
 question are near the “grassy steps”. Assuming this area is the
 amphitheater, the only LED lights in the area are the City poles along
 Jackson Ave. Stibbe will follow up with the resident to confirm the
 location. If the Jackson Avenue poles are the ones in question, DPW
 will be contacted to explore the issue.

 3. 2020 Work Plan - Bill Novack

 a. Railings/Curbing: East Side of Paddle Boat Quarry
 ERA submitted three options to repair the curbing on the east side of
 the Paddle Boat Quarry. The estimated cost exceeds the limits of
 PA022 making the repair its own CIP project which will be added to the
 2021 budget request. ERA has been directed to create bid documents
 with alternates for the different options in hopes that the project will be
 bid this winter. Novack suggested that the project could be bid as
 alternate to the Moser Tower repair.
 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 new light
 poles are round while the original poles were square.



 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 October. With covid, it
 has been challenging to gather data acquisition as their subcontractor is on
 the east coast. 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 of the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan.

 Kennedy reported that all the outreach meetings with community partners
 and key stakeholders have been completed. The overall impression from
 the meetings has been highly supportive. Comments from interested
 residents, partners and stakeholders were compiled. The draft master plan
 was reviewed in detail and these comments were considered when
 updating the draft to its final version. The major changes include adding
 the multi-use path on the east side of the river from the Bambule
 Gateway/Fredenhagen Park to Hillside Road, changing the ecological
 shoreline project to a 2-page spread, the inclusion of estimated costs for all
 projects and an update to the text where appropriate.

 Novack explained that the City has two budgets; operations and capital

 for the “out years”, scheduled after the repair of the Moser Tower and

 subject to change each year.
