 2. Park District - Tom Stibbe

 Stibbe reported recent rain was very welcome and things are starting to
 green up again. He advised that the recent Naperville Salute event at
 Rotary Hill went very well with minimal turf damage. The Horse Trough
 Fountain is now running as the pump was recently repaired. The Millenium
 Carillon plaque had been damaged and they had it refinished, and staff
 added sod in some of the areas where straw mat and seed had been
 placed in the front area. Staff continues with pruning, weeding and
 mulching and volunteer groups assisted with mulching near Rotary Hill prior
 to the Salute event.
 3. Fredenhagen Park Fountain - Bill Novack


 Receive Fredenhagen Park Fountain Options document
 Attachments: 20230703 Fredenhagen Fountain Options

 Novack provided a recap, noting past discussions with the Exchange Club
 and Fredenhagen family representatives, and the City Council’s directive
 regarding the repair costs and possible alternatives to the Exchange Club
 Memories Fountain. He expressed appreciation to Roehll, Principal with
 Hitchcock Design Group and past Riverwalk Commission Chairman, for
 his ideas relative to the project.

 Roehll reviewed the Fredenhagen Park Fountain Options document,
 included in the agenda packet, beginning with the first option to fix and
 keep the existing fountain. He noted that the fountain sub-contractor
 provided additional detailed breakdown of expenses and the reduced cost
 is approximately $289,000. Some of the recommended budgeted items
 include enhancements to the existing equipment that will make it easier to
 maintain in the future. Repairs would include OSHA life safety
 improvements, improvements to chemical treatments with the chlorine that
 was causing excessive corrosion, a new leak detection system, corroded
 equipment repair, and lighting replacement.

 The second option discussed included a natural water feature that required
 certain elements to keep the pond clear like a gravel bottom, plants and
 water movement. Roehll reviewed some of the suggested views that
 included statues of herons, turtles and dragon flies and discussed the
 possibility of including informational signs on ecology.

 The third option in the document was a sculptural component, with Roehl
 noting that it would include some type of planter. Friant inquired which
 option would be the least expensive with Roehll answering that it would
 depend on the sculpture. The group discussed the potential expense of a
 sculpture and the relatively low maintenance costs. Bobosky stated
 Century Walk’s most expensive sculpture was of Joseph Naper, at a cost
 $175,000 quite a few years ago, and spoke of the attraction of the Bean in
 Chicago.

 The group discussed the lighting component of the fountain, the opportunity
 to light the entire park that would draw attention from a further distance, the
 possibility of creating a bigger public improvement at Fredenhagen Park
 that could be part of the Master Plan, and the importance of the area as it
 relates to the 430 South Washington project. Consideration for the
 Exchange Club and existing commemorative brick and stone donors was
 also discussed.

 Roehll noted that the LED lights would have the ability to change colors and
 Bobosky spoke of the lighting at the Naperville Community Concert Center
 and recommended the group view the lighting at the Bill Shatzer sculpture
 at North Central College. Schweitzer, who provided written comments
 regarding the Fredenhagen Park Fountain Options document which are
 attached to these minutes, noted that she is not in favor of including the
 lighting with the repairs. Novack recommended including the lighting if the
 first option is selected, adding that it could be bid as an alternate.

 Roehll received life cycle costs associated with the fountain repairs that he
 will forward to Stibbe. Stibbe noted that while his staff does a great job
 with day-to-day maintenance, he would prefer to have the startup and shut
 down of the systems handled professionally, both at the beginning and end
 of each season. Stibbe also noted the importance of the height feature,
 lighting in the area and suggested the possibility of including lighting the
 following year.

 Further discussion will be held with the full Riverwalk Commission at
 tomorrow’s meeting.
 4. Riverwalk Master Plan - Bill Novack for Pat Kennedy

 Novack deferred discussion on the Master Plan to the next day’s Riverwalk
 Commission meeting. Peterson noted the current timeframe of updating
 the Master Plan and that two of the six capital improvement projects are
 close to construction and one is under preliminary design. He noted the
 importance of updating this information for the public and will review a draft
 of revisions at next month’s PDC meeting.

 5. Riverwalk Bicentennial Fund - Bill Novack for Pat Kennedy

 There was no report.

 6. Eagle Street Gateway Design Update - Bill Novack and Brian Dusak

 Dusak reported that the DuPage County Stormwater permit was received
 last week and that they are very close to submitting the final environmental
 assessment. They are still anticipating going out to bid this year with
 hardscape going in by fall and landscaping possibly falling into next spring.
 7. South Extension Preliminary Design - Bill Novack and Brian Dusak

 a. Public Open House July 19th

 Dusak reported that the Public Open House was scheduled for July 19th,
 with Novack adding that invitations were sent specifically to residents on
 Melody Lane and the surrounding area. Peterson reviewed an exhibit that
 would be presented at the meeting.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 1. Walk On! Event in Memory of Chuck Papanos on July 28, 2023 - Jan Erickson

 Erickson announced the upcoming Walk On! Event in Memory of Chuck
 Papanos, which will be held on Friday, July 28, 2023. Registration begins
 at 4:30 p.m. at the Naperville Riverwalk Grand Pavilion and the walk begins
 at 6:30 p.m. Erickson provided a brief background for the new members of
 the group, noting Chuck’s position with the Park District and the great care
 and ownership he took of the Naperville Riverwalk.
 2. Park District Planning and Review of 2031 Master Plan - Tom Stibbe

 Stibbe advised that the Park District had been reviewing some of the
 Master Plan projects, specifically some of the riverbank stabilization and
 the rain garden or natural area near the tennis courts. They feel it would be
 a good idea to have another staff member from their planning department
 attend the Riverwalk Commission meetings. The Committee noted these
 are public meetings and had no opposition to an additional staff member
 attending future meetings.

 At this time, Stibbe announced his retirement from the Park District,
 effective September 8, 2023. His position has been posted internally. The
 group expressed their congratulations and appreciation for his dedication
 to the Riverwalk.
