e . ..-:::=- e .. Hurricane Alicia brought about two and a half feet of water into the house, and so damaged the house to a point that it may not be feasible to reconstruct the house as a landmark like we had wanted. If we can get a low-interest loan, we would reconstruct all the way up to the window level with new materials, replace the structure with a new structure. In discussing the matter with the board of directors of Aerospace Ministries, enough of the building should be salvaved and reconstructed to indicate the historical achievement that occured in the house. The following steps, to conform to the city's desire to do something about the structure, have been planned for some time. We are only reasserting them at this time. e 1. Complete the land fill up to the level required by the city - this is up to the top edge of the cross ties across the front of the property. 2. Level and pack the fill and clean off all brush. 3. Demolish and move the garage? structure and its contents. 4. Disconnect the electricity. 5. Complete the fence after the fill is complete. 6. Complete the purchase of two small triangles of land, locked into the ,back of our property so that the entire area can be secured.' 7. Assist Aerospace Ministries in their fund raising drive to procure funds to restore this building. The drive is to begin this Christmas and go for three months only. 8. An assessment is to be made by the fifteenth of April of immediate steps to be taken to restore the building. 9. If the drive is unsuccessful, and/or a low-interest loan cannot be secured, Aerospace Ministries has been informed that the building would be torn down and they have been assured that enough of the logs would be saved and stored so that they would form at least one wall in some sort of historical monument. e 10. We would deposite funds in the First City Bank of Clear Lake City to cover the cost of the above items. .
