St. Augustine Beach City "Manager" BRUCE MAX ROYLE and Mayor RICHARD BURTT O'BRIEN caught red-handed meeting privately with developer about future of our pier and pier park, which is owned by St. Johns County, not the City of St. Augustine Beach.
What's going on here?

Mr. Ardid,
St. Johns County and St. Augustine Beach are discussing what to do about the fishing pier and the adjacent pier park. The County says it has no money to repair both; nor does my City have the financial resources to do the repair. The City Commission recently discussed exploring the possibility of private/public partnerships. Would Key International consider discussing some possibilities with the City? A conference telephone call could be arranged for you to discuss this with Mayor O’Brien, or, if you visit our area, you could meet with him. Please let know if you want to discuss this matter.
