PUBLIC FORUM: No members of the public wished to address the Riverwalk PDC Committee. D. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Approval of Minutes - Pat Kennedy Approve minutes from the April 30, 2019 Planning, Design and Construction Committee meeting. No vote was taken to approve the April 30, 2019 PDC minutes as there was not a quorum of Riverwalk Commissioners present. 2. Park District - Chuck Papanos a. Thank You to Keller Williams Realtors Over 100 Keller Williams realtors volunteered for four hours on May 9, 2019 to do spring cleaning in a variety of parks for the Naperville Park District. 55 of those volunteers worked on the Riverwalk to pull weeds and spread mulch. Thank You! b. Additional Riverwalk Wayfinding Signage A concern was brought to the attention of Park District staff following the Park District’s active shooter training. There were folks in the vicinity who were unaware that the activity was only a training exercise. One person was seeking an escape route from the perceived threat and was hesitant to enter the pathway at the end of the cul-de-sac on the west side of the Jaycee Playground parking lot, not knowing where it led. All other Riverwalk gateways have wayfinding signage. A suggestion was made to add another way finding sign at that location.

Donor Plaque Papanos distributed a photo of the donor plaque adjacent to the corner of Jackson Avenue and Eagle Street. The plaque is showing signs of damage as the clear coating is lifting. Roehll and Papanos will contact vendors to inquire about the options to clean/repair the damaged plaque. Penick mentioned that the plaques on the Main Street Bridge are experiencing the same issues. 3. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll Roehll reported that the park is substantially complete other than the rain garden. With the extensive rains recently, the rain garden has been under water and not in a condition to install the plants. An erosion blanket was installed around the rain garden in the interim. Roehll also stated that a ribbon cutting for the park will take place on June 4, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend. 4. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack Novack explained that steps are being taken to do additional modeling that includes a dynamic analysis of the structure to explore how the structure functions under different circumstances at specific stress points. The additional investigation is expected to take approximately six weeks. 5. Riverwalk Development Guidelines - Bill Novack An ad hoc committee met on May 14, 2019 to begin a review and update of the Riverwalk Development Guidelines. At that meeting, the group discussed a few things they would like to incorporate into the final draft of this report. In addition to updating the existing list of future projects, Kennedy suggested that the Committee could create a list of projects that donors would choose from. In the past, donors have come to the Riverwalk Commission with requests for new projects. The proposed project list would help focus donors’ choices on what would be an appropriate Riverwalk project. The list would also include an estimated dollar amount. Kennedy also suggested that an outreach program could be developed. Riverwalk representatives would reach out to donors with a “menu” of Riverwalk projects and needs. The list would be created with different levels of financial commitment. This would give donors a vehicle to support the Riverwalk and help move the Riverwalk vision forward.

Lively discussion took place regarding several possible projects including the north shoreline between Main Street and Eagle Street, the south extension, 430 S.
