As an appetizer, listeners may savor City Manager Matt Huffaker's latest statement on his closing of the emergency Civic Auditorium shelter:

Mr. Norse,

To be clear, it was my decision, in consultation with our Emergency Operations Center Team, to close the temporary emergency shelter at the Civic Auditorium. While our team, with County support, did tremendous work to stand-up the shelter in short order, the Civic is too large and resource intensive to continue operating over an extended period. I want to recognize the many City staff that proactively worked to outreach to those in flood prone areas prior to the storm.

With that said, we are actively working with the County to stand-up additional warming centers. We will share more details with the community as these resources come online.

Take care,

Matt

As the rainstorms continue, the City of Santa Cruz has no downtown walk-in shelter available, having closed the Civic Auditorium and the Depot Park mini-shelter.  The Warming Center, formerly the Footbridge Services, because of adequate volunteers (and no City funding) hasn't been open through the storms.

The man responsible?  Pay a visit to the City Mangler if you can find him...
