Some scaffolding with planking would probably look better than the present pier.
In these PC days of Health & Safety at work it probably wouldn't be allowed to do it that way & scaffolding would probably be demanded owing to the height of the pier. Surely before painting they would need to shotblast the old paint/rust etc.. to check the state of the base metal & apply a decent undercoat otherwise it wouldn't last 5 minutes in such wet & salty conditions.

That news article was incorrect, the decision to buy the Pier was taken at a Full Meeting of Council and the vote was 31 - 1 in favour of buying the Pier. So maybe those 'worried Councillors' weren't worried enough to either attend or vote against the proposal?
Not sure they're all paid, other than expenses. I know the cabinet are.
A legal notice has been sellotaped to the front doors of Colwyn Bay Pier, announcing the date for the hearing to allow the sale to CCBC:
