Much of the criticism has focused on the task force the city set up in 1996 to forge a closure plan.

Later in 1989, Stoker submitted a closure plan for the land treatment unit.

Management were meeting staff this afternoon to reveal details of the closure plan, which would mean job losses.

He said the home had not submitted a closure plan for approval.

The administrators said at the time that there was no formal closure plan for the entire store network.

The caucus thus gave continuity at the top throughout the development of the closure plan.

Closure again seemed imminent in 2012 as a part of California's sweeping 70-park closure plan.

There were also strong words for the architects of the closure plan.

He said the staff members, informed this morning of the closure plans, were devastated.

Since the report was published, however, no closure plans have been submitted, and the church is still open and continues to offer regular services.
