SANTA MONICA, CA-The city council here will review proposals on June 11 about the future of the landmark Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

The faded auditorium, a 3,000-seat venue which once hosted the Academy Awards and the famed T.A.M.I. Show, a concert featuring James Brown, the Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry, has been the subject of ongoing public and private discussions.

The June 11 city council meeting is expected to formalize a direction for plans on preserving the venue. But at least one city official allowed that other options, including demolition, are possible.
