 beach is an interesting sight to see.


 3. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll

 Roehll reported that the frost is out of the ground and work has
 recommenced on the Jaycee Park with the installation of the trellises. The
 furniture has been delivered and is waiting installation followed by
 installation of the electric and landscaping. If everything continues on
 schedule, the hope is to plan a grand opening event in late May.


 4. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Novack stated that a few structural analysis concerns had been expressed
 by a couple of individuals since the last meeting and that he will ask ERA to
 look into these items. He also noted that there was previous discussion
 regarding the use of a concrete sealer on the precast concrete pieces of
 the tower. A very preliminary conservative cost to seal the tower would be
 approximately $100,000. Novack did not want to delay today’s discussion
 relative to each Commissioner’s thoughts about the tower, so he
 suggested that Commissioners add another $100,000 to the estimate
 when thinking about the tower repair.

 It was then suggested that each person in attendance share their thoughts
 about what action the Riverwalk Commission should recommend to the
 City Council regarding the future of the Moser Tower and Millennium
 Carillon. The possibilities include repairing the tower, decommissioning
 the tower, or repairing/enclosing the tower.

 Some members noted that enclosing the tower not only added to the initial
 capital costs but also added to the ongoing operation and maintenance
 cost of the HVAC. The main benefit of enclosing the tower would be less
 repair and maintenance of the elevator. Most agreed that the capital and
 ongoing maintenance cost for the enclosure and HVAC greatly exceeded
 the repair and replacement costs of the elevator. From a financial
 perspective, it is hard to justify the costs to enclose the tower.

 Two residents had comments/suggestions regarding possible additional
 testing and/or assessments. Another resident reiterated their comments
 from a previous meeting, adding that cost alone should not be the
 determining factor for the future of the tower as it is difficult to evaluate in
 dollars and cents the artistic, cultural and emotional value the structure has
 for our community.

 Almost all in attendance provided several interesting and varied comments
 about what to do with the tower. The majority of the attendees

Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes April 2, 2019
Construction Committee

 recommended repairing the tower, with only one person suggesting the
 possibility of decommissioning the tower. A few suggested sending the
 final decision for a public referendum. Novack stated that as staff he
 always provides a recommendation to the City Council as that is staff’s
 role. However, a note stating that some Commissioners suggested
 sending the issue to referendum can be included in the recommendation.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 Erickson stated that a subcommittee will be gathered to update the current
 Riverwalk Development Guidelines beginning next month.
