Maintenance Policies for Additions to the Riverwalk - Bill Novack Novack noted that the sub-group working on this is in the process of writing up the final version of the policy and we can expect to see something in the next two months. 6. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack Dusak continued the discussion on the addendum to the report and explained where the consultant team is on this subject. He distributed a hand-out with a list of seven repair recommendations. The repairs are not listed in any order of priority. These are the main type of repairs that need to be made to the tower. The consultants are working on figuring out which repairs need to be done in conjunction with others based on access to the tower; so basically, which work should be bid out together if the City decides to pursue rehabilitation. Roehll asked for clarification on the scope of the repairs. Dusak described the various repairs and stated that the consultants will be adding cost estimates and life cycle costs to the repairs, so we know how long the work will last. Joseph asked what the next deliverable from the consultants would be. Dusak stated that a final addendum will include their recommendation of repairs along with the cost and life cycles of those repairs. Roehll asked if the addendum will address the question of enclosing the tower. Dusak replied that it was discussed in the original report but they could state it again in the final addendum or a cover letter that goes with the addendum. Dusak noted they are hoping to have all this information available at the beginning of 2019. Roehll questioned if it is the Riverwalk Commission’s responsibility to identify funding sources for the work. Novack replied that it is not the Commission’s responsibility but, if the Commission identifies or knows of one, the information should be communicated along with the recommendation to the City Council.

Novack replied that due to its unique nature, we don’t have any other similar structures to use for experience, and in the absence of that sort of data it helps to keep this work from getting delayed in favor of other projects. Novack further stated that this and prior City Councils have been very good about addressing current maintenance needs instead of pursuing new initiatives. E. NEW BUSINESS: 1. 430 S. Washington Street - Geoff Roehll Roehll asked if the City has had any news relative to funding 430 S Washington Street. Novack replied that there is no new news. F.
