The Florida Department Of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has acquired the Skyway Fishing Piers State Park to use solely as a recreational site for activities compatible for the use of the premises as a fishing pier and park facility. On December 20, 1994, FDEP leased certain lands and structures, collectively referred to as the sunshine skyway fishing piers, which later became the Skyway Fishing Piers State Park, from the Florida Department Of Transportation (FDOT). The lease represents approximately 20.49 acres, [glow=blue,2,300]and it is for a period of 20 years, which will expire on December 20, 2014[/glow]. Since this lease, FDEP has not acquired any parcel to add to the pier; thus, the area of the pier is unchanged. According to the lease agreement between FDEP and FDOT, FDEP will manage the property only for a recreational site for activities compatible with FDEP’s primary use of the premises as a fishing pier and park facility. and for an even better kicker this crap was planed in 2007 look at the date on these .the fris one is paying someone to inspect the piers i guess and this one they were going to put out the money to fix the pier in 2009 and this was all done in 2007 you can thank BIG MIKE for that he knew about it and might be the reason for the old board to be shut down . so SCREW THE BAIT SHOPS AND THE PIERS ILL FISH OVER HERE AND BE MARRY

redneck, Where from that scan do you get the piers will be shut down? What I read is a $1000 for engineering, could be an inspection, a grand won't get to much inspecting done when DOT requires a 4 man crew on all it's work. And the second scan is a proposed work order for fiscal year 2009 aloting 2.4 million for bridge repair and rehabilitation. Thats just FDOT's state contribution and doesn't include any federal funding.

The lease expires in 2014, but that doesn't mean they won't renew it. According to DOT, the west side's 50 year life span ends in 2021.

Just to let everybody know because it seems like diggin4grouper is casting the blame on me for this. I am just a paid employee not a manager or part owner of pier associates. Also i did not know about anything that diggin4grouper is casting blame on me for. And if you would like to know who authorized the old board to be shut down just call the pier manager all this crap was out of my hands as it still is now so go find another scapegoat.

Bigmike, we all know you have no part in the actions of the state. You are like family to most of us here No worries jab I thought it was pretty cool to see that there was at least some funding for the pier. Thats a good thing right???

Here is how I read all the above.
In July 2007 a few proposals were prepared by the FDOT. One to do an engineering study and the other to repair the pier. Then the FL Leg decided to cut taxes and with the tax cut came budget cuts. Well guess who lost without a voice? Yes the pier rats and all the others who fish the pier.
Without the repairs the think must be the piers are not safe and must be closed.
