 the Santa House has been put in storage.
 c. Ice Rinks/Sled Hill
 The ice rinks typically are closed near the middle of February and it
 looks like that will be the case again this year. Fencing for the sled hill
 will remain until spring break at the end of March.
 d. Spring Plantings
 Three growers have been contacted to provide annual flowers for the
 Riverwalk. Delivery is expected mid-May.


 5. Riverwalk Foundation - Stephanie Penick

 Recently Lincoln Jr. High School held an “Innovation Day” where students
 were tasked with developing a project with materials they already had .
 One student chose to build a Riverwalk wooden pedestrian bridge with
 Legos. He contacted Penick for some background information and
 guidance. When completed, the project was very well received.


 6. Donor Recognition - Jan Erickson

 Erickson reported that brick sales continued to be slow and that the
 deadline for the spring installation will be the middle of March. Penick
 suggested the slow bricks sales may be because the Jaycees have started
 selling bricks at the new Jaycee Park. To date 15 Jaycee bricks have
 been sold.


 7. Public Relations - Jeanne Buddingh

 Buddingh reported that since our last meeting, the Riverwalk was
 highlighted or mentioned in 11 articles, advertisements and/or videos in the
 local media. The highlights include sledding on Rotary Hill and the sale of
 bricks at the new Naperville Jaycees Park. The Riverwalk was also used
 as a backdrop for many stories during the recent below-zero cold snap.


 8. Planning, Design, and Construction - Jeanne Buddingh


 Receive the February 5, 2019 Riverwalk Planning, Design & Construction
 Committee minutes
 Buddingh stated that in addition to several topics discussed earlier in the
 meeting, the PDC also discussed the following:
 a. Warming Shelter Remodel
 Park District staff is working to relocate some of the water pipes in the
 newly remodeled shelter. In addition, a new drinking fountain with a
 water bottle filing stations was installed on the exterior of the shelter.

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes February 13, 2019

 Serious consideration is being given to reinstalling another Healing
 Fields on Rotary Hill this autumn as there are several meaningful
 milestones e.g. American Legion is 120 years old, the VFW is 75 years
 old, and this will be the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy.
