 repairs have been marked out and will begin this week. A revised
 schedule will be provided by the contractor and presented to City Council
 for an extension. No selection was made on the façade treatment at the
 base of the structure and additional precast section options are
 forthcoming. Targeted completion should be by the end of the calendar
 year. The landscaping and water proofing of the entrance level may need
 to be pushed into next spring. Signs were put up by the Park District
 advising the facility is under construction with a link to the Park District’s
 website which advises that the Millennium Carillon and Visitor Center are
 closed this season due to construction.

 2. Riverwalk Master Plan - Jeff Friant for Pat Kennedy

 Friant gave an overview of the discussions from the last PDC meeting,
 noting the shift to fundraising, the meetings that Kennedy had regarding
 funding that may be available for certain projects, and getting those
 marquee projects “shovel ready”. Novack noted that design for three of the
 Master Plan Capital Improvement items have been included in the budget
 request: 1) Eagle Street Gateway project; 2) South Gateway project; and
 3) the Grand Pavilion parking lot.

 Joseph advised that the social media campaign ended this week and
 resulted in more awareness of the Riverwalk website and stories but did
 not succeed in driving more visitors to the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan. As
 a result, the suggestion of adding QR codes to existing Riverwalk signs is
 being explored. Peterson is researching this and will report back to the
 PDC at their next meeting.
