C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 No members of the public were interested in addressing the Commission.


D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Assessment -Bill Novack

 Novack reported that the in-depth testing has been completed. The
 samples/data have been taken to the lab to continue to seek information
 regarding the viability of the structure. Engineering Resource Associates
 will submit report with the findings later this summer.


 2. Naperville Jaycees Park formerly Tech Park - Geoff Roehll

 The City Council has voted to approve the addition of the Jaycees Park to
 the Riverwalk. V3 has met with DuPage County. As the project involves
 only a “cut” rather than “fill”, the only stormwater requirement is a General
 Certificate. The next steps are to finalize the construction documents and
 submit them to the Riverwalk Commission and City’s Development Review
 Team for approval. The City’s Department of Public Works is working with
 Hitchcock Design Group to fabricate a mockup of the steel shade
 structures which should save on bottom line cost.
 3. Harmony Park - Geoff Roehll

 The addition of Rotary Park to the Riverwalk will be considered by the Park

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes June 13, 2018

 Board on June 14, 2018 and by the City Council on June 19, 2018.
 Construction of the park could begin as soon as the middle of this summer.

 2. Chairman - Geoff Roehll

 After serving two full 3-year terms, Bob Ross is retiring as a Riverwalk
 Commissioner. The June 13, 2018 meeting will be his last. Roehll thanked
 Ross for his commitment and service to the Naperville Riverwalk and
 community at large. Ross’ knowledge and good humor will be missed.


 3. Finance - Bill Novack

 Novack distributed and reviewed the April 2018 monthly financial report for
 the Riverwalk CIP and Operations Budgets.


 4. Park District - Chuck Papanos


 Receive Naperville Park District monthly report

 Staff continues to work diligently to maintain the Riverwalk park. The Park
 District has struggled to find long-term seasonal help and are
 supplementing with college student summer employees.

 Thanks to the Park District for their quick clean up following the recent flood
 events. Due to the flooding, many plantings have been compromised on
 the Water Street low flow walkway. Marquette Properties is “going above
 and beyond” to fund the replacement plantings while the Park District will
 do the installation.


 5. Riverwalk Foundation - Stephanie Penick

 The Riverwalk Foundation is receiving promised pledges from donors
 for the Jaycee Park.

 Erickson reported that the commemorative bricks have been delivered and
 will be installed on June 14, 2018. Several donors are expected to attend
 to select the location of their bricks. The next deadline for brick orders will
 be late August for the fall installation.


 7. Public Relations - Jeanne Buddingh

 Buddingh reported that since our last meeting the Riverwalk was
 highlighted or mentioned in 20 articles, advertisements and/or videos in the
 local media. The highlights include photo opportunities on the Riverwalk
 with the warm weather, stargazing with the Astronomy Club and an article in
 Positively Naperville titled, “Commission, Foundation, Quite Contrary, How
 Does the Naperville Riverwalk Grow?”


 8. Planning, Design, and Construction Committee - Jeanne Buddingh


 Receive the June 5, 2018 Riverwalk Planning, Design & Construction Committee
 minutes
 Buddingh reported that the full minutes from the last PDC meeting are
 included in the Commission packet and several highlights were covered
 earlier in the agenda. Additional items discussed are as follows:
 a. Bicycles on the Riverwalk
 Papanos showed the Riverwalk “Add-On” sign that will be used to
 encourage the public to dismount and walk their bicycles on the
 Riverwalk. It was good timing as two community members were in
 attendance. They shared their desire to bike along the Riverwalk and
 requested that “commuter hours” be allowed for people to get to their
 workplace due to safety and congestion concerns along Washington
 Street. Following a robust conversation on the topic, it was determined
 that adjusting the ordinance to allow bicycle riding at any time on the
 Riverwalk was not the safest option. The request for commuter hours

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes June 13, 2018

 was denied and the original language in the ordinance stands.
 b. Annual AMP Walk Review/Riverwalk Survey
 Papanos distributed a comprehensive update to the Riverwalk Asset
 Management Plan (AMP). The document included all assets that fall
 under the “fair and “poor” designation. Papanos and his Park District
 team did an outstanding job of highlighting all the assets of the
 Riverwalk as well as suggested future maintenance. The Riverwalk
 Development Guidelines will be updated in 2019 and the results of the
 Riverwalk Survey will be considered during the updating process.
