Thankfully no one was injured. The Naperville Police were on the scene shortly after the accident occurred. Minimal damage was done to the Riverwalk other than a clipped shepherd crook light. b. Warming Shelter Remodel The warming shelter had been opened as planned but has since been closed due to the extremely cold weather. The Park District staff is working to relocate some of the water pipes. The new drinking fountain with a water bottle filling station was installed on the outside of the warming shelter. c. Moser Tower Lights The Park District Trades Department is seeking pricing to fix the electronic controls for the autoplay on the Moser Tower. This may not be a short-term repair as the existing equipment is nearly 20 years old. The Riverwalk Commission will be kept apprised of the results of their search. d. Healing Fields Serious consideration is being given to reinstalling another Healing Fields on Rotary Hill this autumn as there are several meaningful milestones e.g. American Legion is 120 years old, the VFW is 75 years old, and this will be the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy. 3. Naperville Jaycees Park - Geoff Roehll Roehll reported that a meeting took place with the City of Naperville to discuss the budget and the design status.
