Commissioners call for pier contract rewrite

Santa Rosa County Commissioners and Navarre Beach Fishing Pier manager Dorothy Slye agreed during a Sept. 10 commissioner meeting that the pier contract was poorly written.

After a long and heated discussion about management opening the pier for two hours Aug. 28 despite a county closure during Hurricane Isaac, Commission Chairman Jim Williamson called for County Attorney Angie Jones to work on rewriting the lease agreement. The current three-year lease agreement between the county and The Pier, Inc. will expire next June.
