BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
At the January 14, 2026 Riverwalk Commission meeting, a motion was approved to order a plaque for the front of the Mr. and Mrs. Naperville statue near the base of the Millennium Carillon to honor Margaret and Harold Moser. Plaque options were presented at the February 11, 2026 Riverwalk Commission meeting and a revised option is being presented based on discussions and recommendations from the commissioners.
DISCUSSION:
The front face of the concrete base of the statue measures 9” tall by 48” wide. The revised plaque option is 5” tall by 20” wide. The lettering in the first line is slightly larger than the previous proof and quotes were added to “Mr. and Mrs. Naperville”. The plaque will have a black leatherette background with bronze lettering, similar to other plaques along the Riverwalk.
