Construction Committee
a. Roof Repair: Fredenhagen Park
Filotto Construction is scheduled to commence work on September 3,
2019 to replace the roof, gutters and downspouts on the building as well
as the gutters and downspouts on the two pergolas at Fredenhagen
Park. The underlayment will be inspected and repaired as needed as
the roof replacement progresses. The repair should take approximately
one week, barring any weather delay.
b. Last Fling
The Park District has begun cleaning up the Riverwalk following this
year’s Last Fling event. There was discussion regarding the closure of
the Webster Street Bridge during the event. The Jaycees committed to
providing manpower to provide access to the bridge as needed.
Apparently, no manpower was provided. Papanos will include the issue
in the event wrap-up.
c. Small Quarry at RiverPlace Condominiums
Representing RiverPlace Condominiums, Schweihs and Swartz
thanked the Park District and Riverwalk for the quick response to their
request from last month. The Park District found copies of the
maintenance agreement with RiverPlace. Erickson then forwarded
copies of the agreement to the RiverPlace board. Papanos explained
the terms of the agreements and listed the timeline and steps that will
be taken to address the overgrown vegetation and water quality. A
discussion regarding water quality followed.
3. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack
Novack reported that ERA’s subcontractor has completed the crack
mapping and structural modelling. ERA is waiting for the results so they
can be incorporated into the updated report which will probably be
discussed at the October or November meeting.
4. Riverwalk Development Guidelines - Pat Kennedy
The Development Guidelines are projects that the Riverwalk Commission
has identified that would enhance the linear park in the future. The list
should be viewed as potential projects that could be done if funding is
available.
The list of projects will be divided into categories e.g. over $1 million
dollars/under $1 million dollars or maintenance/enhance existing
asset/new. Eight projects have been identified for further exploration with
the goal of fleshing out potential community interest and funding sources. A
template was designed to begin to identify information to move the process
forward.

Construction Committee
The committee discussed the necessity to review and/or update the
Riverwalk 2031 vision/goals/criteria. This will help identify the need for
each project and would act as a cover sheet for a project
information/marketing brochure. Also discussed was the necessity for
public outreach to present the information and funding opportunities. Much
work is still needed to be done.
E. NEW BUSINESS:
1. Riverwalk 2020 Budgets - Bill Novack
The 2020 CIP budget spreadsheet was distributed. Novack reviewed the
projects and the proposed timeline for each.
