One member, who works in the fitness center, was shocked at the decision. She learned of its possible closure from a supervisor only an hour before the meeting time, so she tried reaching as many members as she could before then. She wishes the city had brought up this topic earlier so members could work together toward solutions like raising fees or holding fundraisers.
