Dear Mayor Prince and Port Arthur City Council,
The Port Arthur Pleasure Island Commission wishes to submit for your
review, ti;e following list of restoration projects. The completion, of these listed
projects will bring Pleasure Island back to its functional and revenue generating
condition prior to our last two major hurricanes, Rita and Ike. As you aze aware
of, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will only cover the 75% of the
needed monies to restore the Island.
It is our wish that the Mayor and Council guide us in the priorities of the
rebuilding due to our limited availability of funds and the need for the City to help
provide, (i.e. through bonds, loans, gifts, etc.) the additiona125% short fall. Since
the Comission serves at the leisure of City Council, we would greatly appreciate
its input into which projects would better serve the people of their districts. It is
the wish of Council to concentrate our extremely limited resources on income
producing projects, leisure activities for the citizens of Port Arthur, or a mix of
both?
The future of Pleasure Island and its place within the community rests with
±he coTM:bined efforts of the Council and its appointed Commission. We look
forward to working with you to make Port Arthur the best place to live on the-Gulf
Coast. Thank you very much for your time.
Kind Regards,
The Pleasure Island Commission
