CITY OF NAPERVILLE PUBLIC MEETINGS UPDATE:
On Friday, June 12, 2020, an amendment to the Open Meetings Act was signed into law. This

Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes May 12, 2021


 1. July 30th Walk On! In Memory of Chuck Papanos - Jan Erickson

 Erickson introduced Ann Marie Papanos to the Commission, who provided
 more information about the July 30th event to raise money for Lymphoma
 Research through the Lymphoma Research Foundation, honoring the
 memory of Chuck Papanos. The Walk On! event will be held at the Grand
 Pavilion and the event will begin with the Park District dedicating the
 garden that was established in Chuck’s memory at a time to be determined
 in the early afternoon. The Walk On! event will begin at 5:00 p.m., with
 registrations being completed on-site, and the actual walk is scheduled for
 6:00 p.m.

 Ann Marie shared a brief history of the importance of the Lymphoma
 Research Foundation and Chuck’s involvement with them during his
 diagnosis.

 Erickson encouraged others to participate with this event through
 sponsorship, gathering teams to walk or gathering teams to fundraise to
 honor Chuck’s memory, as he was a friend and partner of the Riverwalk
 Commission.
 2. City Staff Request for Temporary Paver Decals for City's Strategic Plan - Bill
 Novack

 Approve the request to install temporary paver decals on the Riverwalk to engage
 the public for the City’s Strategic Plan, along with acceptable locations and
 number of decals
 Attachments: Strategic Plan Sidewalk Decal Examples

 Novack provided information regarding the City of Naperville’s
 development of a new strategic plan. The City Council strongly desires to
 engage and obtain input from a wide range of residents and stakeholders,
 making public awareness and promotion vital. The request from City Staff
 is to place temporary paver decals on the Riverwalk to engage the public.

 Pam Gallahue provided additional information, noting that requests for
 temporary banner placements were given by the Park District for Fort Hill
 and the Rubin Community Center. Approval has also been given to place
 the stickers and banners at Naper Settlement, public library campuses and
 downtown. The decals are 24” x 38” and would be in place for
 approximately six weeks.

 Discussion followed on removal of the decals, the number being
 considered and the size of the “Mask Up” stickers that were previously
 placed on the Riverwalk. Joseph noted that the Riverwalk 2031 Master
 Plan Communications Team considered the use of stickers but decided

City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 6/11/2021
Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes May 12, 2021

 against it as to not interfere with the Riverwalk experience.

 Bartlett inquired about adding a link to the Master Plan on the proposed
 decals. Gallahue advised that there is a community survey on the website
 www.BridgetoPossibility.org and she would have to discuss with their
 consultant and report back to Novack.

 Novack agreed with placing the decals at the access points and noted that
 the first 20’ from the curb is considered public right of way.

 Novack made a motion, seconded by Erickson, to recommend placement
 of the decals in the public right of way at five access points to the Riverwalk
 at the following locations:

 · Jefferson Avenue entrance (near the bridge)
 · Chicago Avenue and Main Street entrance
 · An entrance at Webster Street and Jackson Avenue (near
 Dandelion Fountain)
 · Webster Street, south side of bridge, next to the Jaycees Smart
 Park
 · Hillside Road entrance

 The Commission discussed quantity, placement and size of future
 communications on the Riverwalk and expressed concern over the size of
 the decals. The Commission recommended smaller signage for this and
 any future communications. Due to the timeline of engaging the public for
 the Strategic Plan, it was determined that smaller decals could not be
 ordered.

 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

E. OLD BUSINESS:

 1. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that a pre-bid meeting took place on May 11th with a
 good turnout of contractors interested in the project. A final addendum will
 be prepared and bids will open on May 19th. The plan is to have the award
 on the City Council’s June 1st agenda, with construction beginning in the
 second half of June, and work being completed by the end of October.
 2. Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Kennedy provided an update on the Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan
 communications plan, advising that the team is looking to engage the City

 participation and support. Engaging a consultant to assist with the layout of

City of Naperville Page 4 Printed on 6/11/2021
Riverwalk Commission Meeting Minutes May 12, 2021

 the plan is also being considered. Joseph added that the Riverwalk logo is
 being amended to include a reference to the Master Plan and the
 Naperville Riverwalk website text is being updated. Kennedy presented
 the Master Plan earlier in the week to the Naperville Kiwanis Club.
 3. Riverwalk "Welcome Back" for 2021 - Pam Bartlett

 Bartlett reported that the Downtown Naperville Alliance now plans to hold
 an event closer to Labor Day, possibly in conjunction with the Duck Race.
 The sailboat theme will remain and they will work to tie in sponsorship for
 the Riverwalk Foundation. Cuff noted that the Riverwalk Foundation voted
 not to hold the Duck Race in 2021 but they are looking at September 6th as
 a Rededication Ceremony for the 40th Anniversary of the Riverwalk.

 Bartlett advised that the Alliance would like to be involved with the 40th
 Anniversary. This item will be placed as New Business for the next
 Riverwalk Commission meeting.

 Christian Canizal inquired about plans for a possible cardboard regatta.
 Barlett explained that this event would not be taking place based on
 uncertainty of the beach opening and other factors. Canizal also asked
 Cuff for an update from the Riverwalk Foundation for more information on
 the Duck Race cancellation.
