Security and loitering on the fish pier
Summary
Tenants are complaining about recurring loitering, illegal activity, break-ins, and people sleeping on pier property. The city's constable program doesn't cover the pier, and the board is being asked to consider options like police drive-bys, lighting, or private security.

Impact analysis
Any new security patrol, lighting, or camera expansion would cost money the Authority hasn't budgeted yet.
Fishermen, tenants, and pier workers would get a safer workplace and protected vehicles and vessels.
Tenants report property break-ins and unsafe conditions; unaddressed, the activity could deter use of the pier.
