C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 No one from the public wished to address the Riverwalk Commission.


D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Engineering Resource Associates expects to submit their addendum to the
 report next week. The Riverwalk Commission will review and discuss the
 findings prior to making a recommendation to the City Council. This is
 expected to take a few months. The City’s Communications Department
 will coordinate a press briefing sometime after the addendum has been
 received.


 2. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll

 A ground breaking has been scheduled for September 18, 2018 at 5:00
 p.m. All initial funding has been received. The City’s Department of Public
 Works has received bids and have contracted vendors. The necessary
 permits have been granted. Construction is expected to commence soon
 after the ground breaking.

 A water bottle filling station has been donated and will be installed on the
 east side of the Municipal Center, adjacent to the new park. The filling
 station will also include a drinking fountain for humans as well as one for
 dogs.

 Marc Noll, Department of Public Works, will manage the project.


 3. Harmony Park - Geoff Roehll

 There was a fire at the manufacturing plant for the outdoor instruments
 causing a delay in the delivery. Construction is now expected to
 commence in late September. Barring any weather delays, the project
 should take about three weeks to complete.


 4. Maintenance Policies for Additions to the Riverwalk - Bill Novack

 Novack explained that the Riverwalk Commission has discussed two
 options to pay for maintenance of new Riverwalk amenities. If the new
 project is initiated through the Riverwalk Commission via its Development
 Guidelines, the maintenance will follow the current procedures. If the
 genesis of the new project is from an outside entity, a new procedure will
 be developed that will take into account the lifecycle of the new amenity as
 well as the maintenance costs of the amenity. The donor will be
 responsible for finding funding for all costs including the maintenance for
 the expected life of the amenity.

 Erickson, Joseph and Papanos will meet to write a draft of the policy.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 No new business was brought before the Riverwalk Commission.


F. REPORTS:

 1. Approve Minutes - Geoff Roehll

 Novack distributed and reviewed the July 2018 monthly financial report for
 the Riverwalk CIP and Operations Budgets. He also explained that the
 expiration date for the State Department of Commerce and Economic
 Opportunities (DCEO) grant has been extended until June 30, 2019. The
 grant funds are still suspended.


 4. Park District - Chuck Papanos


 Receive the Park District monthly report

 a. Last Fling/Rotary Hill
 Papanos distributed photos of the turf damage to Rotary Hill following
 the Jaycees Last Fling event that took place on Labor Day weekend.
 The Park District has started to repair the turf and irrigation system.
 Due to the heavy rains during the event, the Jaycees purchased and
 laid down approximately 250 sheets of plywood in an effort to control
 the damage to the turf. The Naperville Jaycees will provide funding for
 the complete restoration. Two generators and one support trailer were
 still on site as of September 12, 2018.
 b. Centennial Beach
 The beach is being drawn down by approximately 5’ to provide access
 to the shallow end so it can be painted. Papanos reported that it is
 easier to complete the painting in the fall than in the spring due to
 weather constraints.


 5. Riverwalk Foundation - Stephanie Penick

 The third annual Duck Race, hosted by the RWF took place on August 15,
 2018. Penick reported that 400 new ducks were purchased for the 2018
 race. She noted that the first place winner was the second-to-the-last
 person to purchase a duck. The second place winner was one of the first
 to make a purchase and the third place winner purchased their duck in the
 middle of the sales timeline. She also reported that the new costumed
 jumbo ducks were met with much enthusiasm.

 Penick explained that the duck race is intended to raise awareness that the
 Riverwalk Foundation exists for educational purposes, acts as a conduit for
 donations to the Riverwalk and is not a fundraising entity in and of itself.


 6. Donor Recognition - Jan Erickson

 Erickson reported that the fall order for commemorative bricks has been
 submitted. The order included three 4”x8” bricks, eleven new 8”x8” bricks
 and forty 8”x8” replacement bricks. The engraved bricks should be ready
 for a mid-October installation.

 highlighted or mentioned in 32 articles, advertisements and/or videos in the
 local media. The highlights include the Riverwalk Duck Race, the
 September 11 remembrance events and the Riverwalk Art Fair.


 8. Planning, Design, and Construction - Jeanne Buddingh


 Receive the September 4, 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. Novack added that the Christkindl Market is very
 successful at the Naper Settlement. To encourage the Christkindl Market
 attendees to experience downtown Naperville, it was suggested that
 holiday lights be added to the Webster Street Bridge. Novack stated that
 the Park District has installed lights on the bridge in the past and would be
 again for this coming holiday season. The City’s DPW will work with the
 Park District for the enhanced lighting of the bridge for the coming holiday
 season.
