Review of Avila Pier Community Meeting Results and Recommendation on the Avila Pier Project - Board of Commissioners Meeting – April 24, 2018
After a thorough discussion, the Board of Commissioners consensus was to have a study completed by an engineering firm/engineer to determine more specific costs for pier options including the current dimensions as well as a shorter pier and the cost for removal. Details on the timeline for the study will be provided in the future, as available.

- Exemption from federal income tax
- Allows donors to deduct contributions they make to the Friends of Avila Pier nonprofit
