It would be great if RIOC brings back the tables and chairs to the Pier

as in previous years.

The RIOC Board of Directors Operations Advisory Committee discussed maintenance and future use of the West Pier, including outdoor tables and chairs, during October 2015 meeting. One problem mentioned with the use of the Pier is a lack of electricity and running water for the space.

Here's the discussion.
