 d. Roehll requested that the plant material south of the shelter across the
 river from the Oliver Hoffman Pavilion be trimmed back to provide a
 better vista of the quarry. In addition, he also requested that some of
 the invasive species be removed from that area.


 3. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack/Brian Dusak

 Dusak reported that ERA is expecting to receive the results of the onsite
 testing from eChem and Brush Architects in the next few days. After
 reviewing that data, ERA will incorporate it with the information they have
 gathered to write an addendum to the original report. The draft addendum
 should be completed around the middle of August. Keeping the format
 consistent with the original report, the draft addendum will include any new
 findings, an updated cost opinion and clarify assumptions made on the
 original report.


 4. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll

 DuPage County has issued a General Certificate, eliminating the need for
 a stormwater permit, as the project involves a “cut” rather than “fill”.

 The City’s Development Review Team has returned their initial comments.
 The comments will be addressed and resubmitted for further review.

 All but four financial commitments have been received for this payment
 period. A ground breaking will be scheduled once the four outstanding
 donations have been received.

 The project will go out to bid in the near future.


 5. Harmony Park - Geoff Roehll

 A pre-construction meeting took place on July 10, 2018. Unfortunately, the
 manufacturer of the outdoor instruments experienced a fire in their facility
 extending the delivery time. Construction is now expected to commence
 the week following Labor Day.


 6. Bicycles on the Riverwalk - Chuck Papanos

 Discussion centered around the concern that there is more frequent and
 bold use of bicycles and skate boards on the Riverwalk. Patrons seem to
 blatantly refuse to comply with the no bikes, skateboards, rollerblades on
 the Riverwalk rule.

 The new signs are finished and will be delivered to the Park District for
 installation. Kennedy was recently traveling in Europe where he saw signs
 encouraging bicyclists to dismount. He shared a photograph of one of the
 signs.


 7. Refresh the Labyrinth - Chuck Papanos

 Papanos reported that his crew will wait until school is in session to power
 wash the Labyrinth. Erickson reported that the Naperville Riverwalk
 Labyrinth will not be on the Labyrinth Society’s tour this fall. The Riverwalk
 Commission chose to ask the Park District to clean the Riverwalk Labyrinth
 instead of paying the Labyrinth Society to perform the task.


 8. Maintenance Policy for Additions to the Riverwalk - Bill Novack

 Roehll suggested that there could be two different ways to manage future
 maintenance of Riverwalk assets. If the new asset is conceived by the
 Riverwalk Commission then the maintenance cost would be the City’s
 responsibility. If the new asset was conceived by an outside entity, the
 maintenance cost would be the responsibility of the donating entity.

 He further explained that the University of Illinois includes the cost of
 maintenance to the total cost of each of their donated amenities.

 Lellbach shared insight she gained from the Studio Gang, an architecture
 and urban design firm that does projects around the country. Lellbach
 found that the question of continued maintenance of assets is a common
 one. Studio Gang suggested that the use of a Special Service Area
 (SSA), finding a sponsor to fund the maintenance or gathering upfront
 maintenance funding prior to the construction of the asset may all be
 possibilities.

 Erickson spoke with the City of Batavia. They collect funds for an
 endowment for their donated amenities and only commence construction
 once the endowment as well as all other costs are fully funded. She will
 continue to research what other municipalities do regarding funding the
 maintenance for donated assets.

 The Riverwalk Commission will continue to discuss options. Once a
 process has been selected, the City Council will be advised.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. 2019 Budgets - Bill Novack

 Novack explained the history of the Riverwalk maintenance agreement with
 the Naperville Park District. Papanos answered questions regarding the
 Riverwalk maintenance expenses.

 The first draft of the 2019 Riverwalk Operations Budget was distributed
 and reviewed. The 2018 Riverwalk CIP Budget was distributed and
 discussed as well.


 2. Riverwalk Duck Race - Stephanie Penick

 The Riverwalk Duck Race is scheduled to take place at 10:00 a.m. on
 August 15, 2018. Penick invited all those present to “adopt” a duck. She
 also offered the opportunity to donate $14 to “dress up” one of the larger
 ducks that will participate in a “Best Dressed” contest the day of the race.

 Erickson invited all Riverwalk Commissioners to help the day of the race as
 volunteers are needed to help manage the proceedings.
