PATH FORWARD COMMITTEE
OF THE HOUSTON YACHT CLUB
Progress Report #4
October 4, 2008
Greetings:
The PFC is excited to report to you that the Board of Trustees, at its
Special Meeting held today, approved our recommendation for our first
large-scale volunteer rebuild project.
This first project will involve rebuilding the Beachcomber!!!
The exact timing is not yet set, as our contractor first has to demo
the existing facility, after which he will assess the need for, and
drive, new and additional pilings (which may currently be in short
supply in the area).
Tim Broadhead has agreed to do the architectural work on this project,
up to and including the creation of a bill of materials.
The PFC will "recruit" a project lead who can arrange for
crew chiefs and volunteers, keeping in mind that we must do this
project in as safe a manner as possible.
This is a large project which will take several weekends to complete
once started. Additionally, we will build new picnic tables as the last
part of this project, and there will be more details about that to
come.
I also want to report to you that the PFC is working on a timeline to
assess the issues surrounding the use of floating piers in the harbor.
Like so much of what we are doing, this is a work in process; but we
are underway. I do not yet know what the timeline looks like, but will
communicate that as it becomes more evident.
On behalf of the Path Forward Committee,
John Peter
