C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Schweitzer commented that it would be beneficial if the agenda would be
 changed to allow members from the public to speak under each agenda
 item instead of at the beginning of the meeting. She also suggested that it
 she would like to see the public sidewalk on the east side of Washington
 Street continued to Gartner Road.

D. OLD BUSINESS:

 Approve minutes from the October 1, 2019 Riverwalk Planning, Design and

 was not a quorum of Riverwalk Commissioners present.

 2019 flags have been installed on Rotary Hill in honor of Veteran’s Day.

 winter.
 e. Riverwalk Parking Lot Wall Repair
 Erickson has finally found a vendor to repair the damaged wall at the
 Riverwalk parking lot. Weather permitting, the repair should take place
 yet this fall. Once the wall is repaired, the Park District will replace the
 damaged drinking fountain.
 3. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 The Riverwalk Commission has changed the name of the Development
 Guidelines to the Riverwalk Master Plan. The Commission is working to
 create a long-term plan to help identify and guide future development on the
 linear park. The Master Plan will be a listing of projects that the
 Commission deems important to the growth of this important local asset.
 These projects will happen over time as the need and funding are
 available.

 A second walk allowed Commissioners who missed the first walk to see
 firsthand the areas being considered as possible Master Plan projects and
 enhancement opportunities. Several projects being considered are as
 follows:
 · The South Extension from Hillside Road to Martin Avenue
 · A bike lane from Hillside Road to Fredenhagen Park
 · Construction of 430 S. Washington Street
 · Updating the pavilion at Fredenhagen Park
 · Develop the north and south shoreline between Main Street and
 Washington Street
 · The Eagle Street Gateway
 · Reimagine the Grand Pavilion and adjacent parking lot using Best
 Management Practices
 · Install a pollinator garden on the west extension with interpretive
 signage
 · Install a permanent easel on east extension
 · Restore areas of the shoreline with native plantings and interpretive
 signage
 · Address dead-end walkway on west extension near the Visitor Center
