CITY OF NAPERVILLE PUBLIC MEETINGS UPDATE:

D. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 ERA is working on the engineering/design for the repair of the Moser
 Tower. Construction documents are scheduled to be completed in the
 autumn. Following that, the project is scheduled to go out for bid in late
 autumn or early winter. Construction is scheduled to begin in early spring,
 weather dependent. The construction timeline will take the carillon summer
 schedule into account, if possible.

 As a side note, at Roehll’s request, Novack gave an update on the
 progress of the replacement of the Washington Street Bridge.


 2. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy


 Receive the most recent version of the Draft Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan.

 At their June meeting, the Riverwalk Commission approved the Draft
 Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan and directed Commissioners to reach out to
 community partners and key stakeholders to seek their input. Roehll and
 Kennedy have met with the Riverwalk Foundation, North Central College,
 Edward Hospital and with City and Park District officials/staff as well as
 most of the City Council members. Additional outreach is planned.

 Edward Hospital has expressed interest in partnering with the Riverwalk
 Commission and is especially interested in the South Gateway project. A
 written endorsement of the master plan has been shared by the hospital
 leadership team.

 North Central College has also expressed interest in endorsing the master
 plan.
 The outreach meetings with partners and stakeholders should be
 completed by the end of August with the presentation of the updated
 document to the Riverwalk Commission in September and presentation to
 the Park Board and City Council in October.

 It was suggested that outreach be made to the general public prior to the
 document going to the City Council and Park Board for their endorsement.
 NCTV will be contacted to inquire about the possibility of sharing
 information about the master plan. The possibility of an open zoom
 meeting with the public will also be explored.

 2. Chairman - Geoff Roehll

 Roehll stated that 2020 has been a year of loss for the Riverwalk. Three
 important Riverwalk advocates passed away within a week of each other at
 the end of June. Chuck Seidel was the founder of the Millennium Carillon
 Foundation. Hal Dickson was the project manager for the original section
 of the Riverwalk in 1981. He continued to donate his time as requested.
 Chuck Papanos was a Riverwalk Commissioner and recently retired as the
 Riverwalk Operations Manager for the Park District. They all had a love of
 Naperville but held a special place for the Riverwalk. They were all
 instrumental in making the Riverwalk what it is today.

 Roehll read a touching passage written by former Riverwalk Commission
 chairman, Rick Hitchcock, who was also a dear friend of Chuck Papanos.


 3. Finance - Bill Novack


 Receive the June and July 2020 Riverwalk financial reports.
