City aiming to reopen most of Pier 60 by Sept. 1; council will decide final option for T section

Parks staff updated the advisory board on July 22 that Pier 60 is open from the beach concession area through the pier house and that the department is working to open the bait house and allow public access up to the pier’s T by Sept. 1.
The board was told Parks presented three repair options to City Council earlier; engineering has assumed leadership of the project and may develop additional proposals. Staff said the T sustained the most storm damage and that the council will decide which repair option to pursue for that section of the pier.
Discussion vs. decision: The item was an informational update; staff indicated the bait house and access to the T are target reopen items. No formal advisory-board vote was recorded. Council-level action is required to select the long-term repair option for the T.
Ending: The department plans to reopen the pier to the T for public access by Sept. 1 if engineering and contractor work proceed as expected; the City Council will consider repair-option decisions for the T component.
