The city of Huntington Beach will consider whether to close several public libraries before they adopt a new city budget during a scheduled meeting Monday night.
Mayor Tony Strickland said the council is looking ahead and preparing for a possible tighter budget in the future, despite expected surpluses this year and next.
"This year we have a surplus," Mayor Strickland said. "Next year we have a surplus. We're talking about budget year plus two to kind of get ahead of the game because we do have a predicted recession."If approved it could save the city more than $165,000.Dina Chavez, president ofsaid: "The community has shown and overwhelming amount of support.
"We've heard from our constituents. We've heard from our citizens. I don't anticipate at all that we would shut down any of the libraries in this budget," Mayor Strickland said. Also, the city is looking at ways of making revenue including selling sponsorships on their lifeguard towers.
