 1. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 ERA is waiting for costs estimates from their subconsultant. Once
 received, ERA will incorporate the information with the other findings to
 submit to the Riverwalk Commission for consideration. The report format
 will be consistent with the original report. The draft addendum will hone in
 on the new findings, an updated cost opinion and clarify assumptions made
 in the original report. It will also prioritize the recommended solutions.
 Once submitted it is expected to take several months for the Riverwalk
 Commission to fully review, digest and discuss the information presented
 in the addendum prior to making a recommendation to the City Council.
 2. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll

 Roehll reported that most of the hardscape was completed before the cold
 weather arrived. The trellises are currently being fabricated and the rest of
 the outdoor furniture is being ordered. The landscaping, furniture and
 remaining lighting are scheduled to be installed in the spring prior to
 completion of the park.

 Receive the December 4, 2018 Riverwalk Planning, Design & Construction
 Committee minutes.
 Buddingh reported that all pertinent PDC business had been discussed
 earlier in the agenda with one additional highlight.

 Rick Hitchcock, former Riverwalk Commission Chairman, attended the
 meeting and talked about future opportunities as he envisioned for the
 Riverwalk. He noted that the Riverwalk Development Guidelines, originally
 called the Riverwalk Master Plan, were written to help plan for future
 projects for the Naperville Riverwalk. The development of the north
 shoreline between Main Street and Washington Street had been one of the
 project in the original Development Guidelines. Hitchcock proposed that
 the Riverwalk Commission explore the opportunity to piggyback the
 development of the north shoreline of the river with the rebuilding of the
 Washington Street Bridge. He suggested that this may be a window of
 opportunity to improve pedestrian flow, beautify the shoreline and solve an
 issue with the ingress/egress behind The Lantern.

 Following the interesting north shoreline discussion, the conversation
 switched to how future projects could be funded. Another suggestion was
 that the Riverwalk Commission may want to consider developing both
 broad scale and smaller scale projects along with a list of components for
 those projects to be available when prospective donors inquire about how

 to have an impact on the Riverwalk. Further discussion on these topics will
 happen at the PDC Committee.
