A. CALL TO ORDER:

C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Schweitzer thanked City staff and those who have worked on the Moser
 Tower Assessment report. She made a statement in support of repairing
 and maintaining the Moser Tower. She feels that the tower has value
 beyond dollars and cents and is the only public work that supports the arts.
 Schweitzer shared that several regional publications list the tower as a
 desirable cultural asset. She also read an interesting reflection written by
 the Buddhist Thich Nhat Hahn that states, “We frequently walk with the sole
 purpose of getting from one place to another. But where are we
 in-between? We can arrive in the present moment with every step.”


D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Novack stated that the report was distributed at the March 2, 2019
 Planning, Design & Construction Committee (PDC). The committee will
 consider the information and come to the next PDC meeting prepared to
 discuss their thoughts. The goal is to come to consensus on a
 recommendation that will be sent to the Riverwalk Commission for
 consideration at their April meeting. The full Riverwalk Commission will
 have the opportunity for discussion before taking action on their
 recommendation to the City Council. Commissioners are encouraged to
 review the findings in the report and familiarize themselves with the results
 of the Riverwalk survey (which can be found on the Riverwalk webpage)

 and formulate their own opinion about a recommendation to the City
 Council. The final determination regarding the next steps for the Moser
 Tower will be made by the City Council.


 2. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll
