C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 No members of the public were interested in addressing the Commission.


D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll

 Roehll reported that the Department of Public Works has shared an
 updated construction schedule showing the expected weekly work. Barring
 weather issuers, the project looks like it will be completed by the middle of
 May. A grand opening has not been scheduled yet.


 2. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that a very good discussion took place at the April 2,
 2019 Planning, Design & Construction Committee. He explained that all
 present had the opportunity to voice their thoughts about what they believed
 should be recommended to the City Council. He explained that there have
 been a few additional questions raised by experienced residents. 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. He

 would like to postpone the vote until the May 8 meeting to allow enough
 time to get the questions answered.

 Roehll reminded the Commissioners that, if the recommendation is to
 repair the tower, that there will be final design and engineering to further
 refine the costs.

 The option of repairing/enclosing the tower does not appear to be a
 financially viable choice as 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. However, 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. Consequently, the
 Commissioners were directed to consider one of two options; either
 repairing the tower or decommissioning the tower.

 Roehll asked each Commissioner to 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.

 Almost all in attendance provided several interesting and varied comments
 about what to do with the tower. The majority of the attendees
 recommended repairing the tower, with two Commissioners suggesting
 that the question should go to referendum for a final decision.


E. NEW BUSINESS:

 No new business was brought before the Riverwalk Commission.

 Riverwalk CIP and Operations Budgets. There was no change from the
 previous month. There has been no further movement on the 430 S.

 4. Park District - Chuck Papanos

 there will be no auto-play, only live music.

 Race that will take place on Wednesday, August 14, 2019.

 bricks is being depleted so the Park District will deliver another pallet of
 blank pavers.
