 Division. Mike is a Certified Arborist with a strong knowledge of the Park
 District and staff. An additional employee has been hired with a
 horticultural background that will be working mainly in the north parks and
 will be doing some design work on the Riverwalk.

 The railing along Jefferson Avenue is being replaced with the bollard and
 chain railing that exists around other areas on the Riverwalk.

 The roof at the Grand Pavilion was repaired but will need to be redone in
 the future.

 There was a mobile camera located at Fredenhagen Park recently. The
 Park District is testing the camera in a few locations as they may be
 looking to purchase it to deter vandalism. Discussion followed on
 vandalism in the area, with Stibbe reporting that damage has occurred in
 the restrooms, the Warming Shelter and the Riverwalk Café. Recent
 internet-based challenges seem to have an impact on damage that is
 occurring. Novack added that the upper decks of the downtown parking
 garages had to be closed previously due to damage and Bartlett shared a
 story of an encounter she had recently with disrespectful youths blocking a
 parking lot entrance with motorcycles. Stibbe reported similar issues with
 the Grand Pavilion parking lot. Stibbe will advise if the camera will be
 coming back on a permanent basis.

 Friant inquired about the leak at the Exchange Club Memories Fountain.
 Stibbe reported that the problem was identified within the outer rings of the
 fountain so only the inner rings are running now until they can repair it at the
 end of the season. He will check with the Park District’s Trades
 Department on an estimate for the repair.
 3. 2021 Riverwalk Work Plan (PA022) - Bill Novack and Tom Stibbe

 Novack and Stibbe reported that the parking lot repairs were completed by
 Sindt Woods. Once Novack receives the final cost information for that
 project, he will work with Stibbe on procuring materials for the
 Fredenhagen Park Restroom renovations.

 The Landforms Sculpture repairs will be now be done in conjunction with
 the Eagle Street Gateway project from the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan.
 4. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 Novack provided an update on the progress and distributed pictures of the
 completed concrete work. He noted that all concrete work repairs have
 been completed except for the fins or slender pieces that protrude from the
 structure. The relocation of the temporary cell towers and scaffolding
 caused a delay with the project. The structural repairs should be

 completed by the end of the calendar year with only the landscaping and
 placement of plaza pavers remaining. The pavers need to be
 water-proofed and will have to undergo a flood test that cannot take place
 in freezing weather. Dusak reported that demolition of the staircases has
 begun and some of the metal has been replaced. Steel and painting will
 be worked from the top of the structure downward. Peterson complimented
 everyone involved for their management of this project. A request for an
 extension of the completion date will be made with City Council once an
 updated schedule is obtained from the contractor.
 5. Riverwalk Master Plan - Jeff Friant for Pat Kennedy

 Friant provided an update from Kennedy. Work has been done to have
 projects placed on the City Manager’s list of capital projects available for
 any outside agencies or funding sources that may approach the City.
 Novack has included additional design funds in the 2022 budget request
 and Kennedy will be scheduling smaller meetings with Council Members to
 educate them on the purpose of the budget request, progress on the
 Master Plan, and overall schedule and approach to achieving the Master
 Plan by 2031. Novack added that the Moser Bridge and Grand Pavilion
 roof repairs would be included in next year’s CIP budget. Budgeting for the
 preliminary design, detailed design and permitting for the Eagle Street
 Gateway project will be included, in an effort to have the project “shovel
 ready” for potential outside funding. Also included in the budget request
 are the preliminary design of the south extension from Hillside Road to
 Martin Avenue (the South Gateway project) and the feasibility and
 preliminary engineering for the Grand Pavilion parking lot that was recently
 patched. Budget hearings begin on October 25, 2021.

 Joseph inquired about the QR codes for the existing Riverwalk signs.
 Peterson distributed an illustration of two options that could be considered.
 Option 1 showed a black aluminum channel frame that attached from and
 hung below the existing sign, and Option 2 showed the same sized frame
 that could be placed within the bottom of the existing frame. Discussion
 followed about increasing visibility of the addition with Joseph suggesting
 use of the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan logo. Others suggested using a
 color other than white for the backdrop. In addition to being used for the
 Master Plan, the sign attachments could be used for future messages
 pertaining to the Riverwalk. Stibbe will confirm the number of existing
 signs. Peterson will look into a surface mount option with tabs and update
 the illustration by adding the logo. He will present the options to the
 Riverwalk Commission at next week’s meeting, noting that the PDC’s
 recommendation is Option 2.
 6. Asset Management Plan - Tom Stibbe

 In addition to the items previously discussed in Section D.3., Stibbe added

 that the roof at the Paddleboat Quarry would be replaced this year and the
 paddleboats will come out once the Quarry level rises. Erickson inquired
 about the sidewalk repair on the east side of the Quarry. Novack advised
 repairs were included in an existing contract and would be completed this
 year.
