 2. Park District - Chuck Papanos

 a. Bicycle Signage
 Signage has been installed on the east extension informing Riverwalk
 patrons to dismount and walk their bicycles. The signs are placed in
 three locations from Hillside Road to the Moser Bridge.
 b. ComEd Repair
 ComEd had an emergency repair on one of their poles on the east
 extension. They hacked several plants and drove their truck through
 one of the beds damaging the bed and plantings. They will be
 responsible to pay for the restoration and clean up. A suggestion was

Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes September 4, 2018
Construction Committee

 made to request that the ComEd crew leader file a damage report.
 c. Last Fling
 The 2018 Last Fling is over. There was much rain during set up and the
 event itself, requiring several shut-downs due to lightening. The rain fall
 was significant; 1.8” on Wednesday, .62” on Saturday, .21” Sunday and
 .95” on Labor Day. There were no activities on Rotary Hill on Monday
 allowing the Park District to begin clean-up and restoration. The
 Jaycees will reimburse the Park District for repairs.
 d. Harmony Park
 Depending on the weather, the construction of Harmony Park should
 commence soon.


 3. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Dusak reported that ERA has finally received a 200-page report from
 eChem and Brush Architects with the results of the onsite testing. ERA is
 in the process of reviewing the data and will incorporate it with the
 information they have gathered to write an addendum to the original report.
 The draft addendum should be available to the Riverwalk Commissioners
 near the middle of September. Keeping the format consistent with the
 original report, the draft addendum will hone in on new findings, an updated
 cost opinion and clarify assumptions made in the original report. It will take
 a couple of 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. In coming months, the Riverwalk
 Commission will discuss various options for the process moving forward.


 4. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll

 Mayor Chirico is waiting for all initial funding to be received prior to
 scheduling a ground breaking. If construction commences this fall,
 hardscape may be completed but the landscaping and final touches will
 need to be completed in the spring.


 5. Harmony Park - Geoff Reohll

 Construction of the project is scheduled to begin shortly, depending on
 weather and availability of the outdoor instruments. There hasn’t been
 much communication with the Free Notes, the instrument manufacturer,
 following the recent fire in their plant.


 6. Maintenance Policy for Additions to the Riverwalk - Bill Novack

 Novack suggested that there are two scenarios regarding maintenance of

City of Naperville Page 2 Printed on 10/25/2018
Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes September 4, 2018
Construction Committee

 future Riverwalk assets; 1. maintenance for gifts from outside donors and
 2. maintenance for projects from the Riverwalk Development Guidelines.

 He proposed that, for maintenance for projects from the Riverwalk
 Development Guidelines, the current procedure be followed which calls for
 funding by the City and Park District.

 However, he suggested that a policy/procedure be developed for
 maintenance of future Riverwalk assets that come from an outside source
 other than the Riverwalk.

 Erickson has contacted several neighboring communities as well as the
 Chicago Botanic Garden to inquire what maintenance policies they may
 have in place. Others have policies that include funding an endowment to
 manage future maintenance. The policies also address the life cycle of
 each donated gift. This provides for the possibility of decommissioning an
 asset if the need should arise.

 It was suggested that the Riverwalk Commission develop a written policy to
 address the maintenance of future Riverwalk gifts. Joseph has agreed to
 work with Erickson to write a draft that will be presented at the next
 Planning, Design & Construction Committee.


 7. 2019 Budgets - Bill Novack

 Novack distributed and reviewed the proposed 2019 Operations and CIP
 budgets. The Committee discussed possible future CIP projects including
 the development of the north shoreline west of Washington Street as well
 as the south extension from Hillside Road to Martin Avenue.


 8. Duck Race - Stephanie Penick

 Penick reported that the Riverwalk Duck Race took place on August 15,
 2018. This year’s race was a success, raising close to $11,000 in gross
 income and selling 400 more ducks than last year. The race was
 strategically scheduled the day before Naperville Unit School District 203
 began their fall session. Many families attended and were delighted with
 the addition of the “big” duck costume contest.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. Holiday Lights - Bill Novack

 Novack said that, during the December holiday season, the Christkindl
 Market is very successful at the Naper Settlement. To encourage the
City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 10/25/2018
Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes September 4, 2018
Construction Committee

 Christkindl Market attendees to experience downtown Naperville, it was
 suggested that holiday lights be added to the Webster Street Bridge.
 Papanos mentioned that the bridge has been lit in the past and would be
 again for this coming holiday season. Penick mentioned that Mayor
 Chirico shared a photo of amazing lights and suggested it might be
 interesting to explore something similar.


 2. Jr. Women's Club Art Fair - Chuck Papanos

 The Jr. Women’s Club is seeking ways to raise the awareness of their art
 fair in June that’s held at the Naper Settlement. They approached Papanos
 with a request to allow a professional chalk artist to draw on the Riverwalk
 pavers. There was concern that to allow an artist to draw on the bricks
 would be confusing to the general public and encourage additional graffiti.
 The consensus was to decline the request.


 3. Joint Riverwalk Commission & Foundation Meeting - John Cuff

 Cuff suggested that it could be mutually beneficial to schedule an evening
 meeting in the near future with the Riverwalk Commission and Foundation
 to learn more about each other’s organization and discuss how both
 organizations can continue work toward the common good of the Naperville
 Riverwalk. Erickson will help schedule the meeting.
