We have to plan now and have three options. 1: Consolidation. 2: Put property up for sale and give up the Post Home. 3: Do nothing and give up the post to the Department. Discussions: Alex and Harner, some options for consolidation. History of past consolidation discussed. Holmes suggested we contact 2760 after convention and feel the temperature of the water.
