Recently, the roof of the pavilion was examined to determine what repairs or upgrades may be needed.   The inspection demonstrated extensive corrosion and deterioration of the structures.   The repairs would be costly.     At a recent session of the Venice City Council, a proposal will be discussed about possible listing the pavilion on the local register of historic places as well as the National Register.  Being listed on these registers would qualify the pavilion for grant money for the repairs.
