On Tuesday, December 9th 2008, Santa Cruz City council will decide the fates of the Beach Flats Community Center, Harvey West Pool, Museum of Natural History and Surfing Museum. In light of the current fiscal crisis the city faces, closures of these facilities and reduction in the employee workforce are possibilities on the table for discussion at the council meeting.

Santa Cruz city council has yet to reach a decision about such possible closures, but the decision will more than likely be made this Tuesday regarding the fates of these city facilities.

Official statements have not yet been released, but city officials are working with union representatives from the local chapter of SEIU to determine possible courses of action. This story is in development.
