(March 31, 2008) -- As the Brazos Bell slowly sinks, the City of Waco is weighing its options for fixing up or getting rid of the riverside eyesore.
The city is still looking into three main options.
The first would be to find someone to remove the Belle.
It could also sell the boat as part of a tax warrant sale, since the city is owed back taxes for the land where the Belle is docked.
The third option is to have someone buy it free and clear from the current owner.
Regardless of what option is chosen, city officials say they want something done, and soon.
"it needs to be up and out, needs to be out or floating, that is that, said City Manager Larry Groth. "It needs to be fixed or needs to be out of there but right now we are waiting and trying to show some amount of restraint"
City leaders hope by this time next month one of the groups it has talked to will be in a position to do something with the Belle.
