                    "President Donald Trump\u2019s handpicked Kennedy Center board voted Tuesday to immediately shutter the performing arts center, a source familiar with the decision said, after its members argued the institution is in \u201cdire\u201d financial and structural shape.The board\u2019s vote came shortly after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., rejected the board\u2019s latest effort to add Trump\u2019s name to the building\u2019s facade \u2014 a move the board says is necessary to save the memorial to John F. Kennedy from bankruptcy.The board had cited a partial ceiling collapse in the center\u2019s Grand Foyer earlier this month as evidence the center needed to be immediately closed for repairs.  A construction consultant and the center\u2019s director \u201cconsider the main building to be unsafe for continued occupancy, and anticipate further risk to the public and employees if the building is not immediately closed and renovations begun,\u201d the board said in a draft resolution to close the center for two years. It was the third time since February that the board voted to close the center for renovations for a two-year period. Ex-officio board member Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, has challenged those efforts in court, saying the board had not done its due diligence before deciding to needs to close the venue and had not fully investigated whether it would be possible to keep parts of the center open during renovations.The center was initially scheduled to close on July 5.A tarp remains in place on the facade of the Kennedy Center on Sept. 2.Finn Gomez / Getty ImagesAttorneys for the board have said the legal action has kept them from doing necessary repairs, but the judge presiding over the case noted at a hearing Tuesday \u2014 as he had previously \u2014 that his earlier order preventing full closure allowed for emergency repairs. President Donald Trump, the board\u2019s chairman, joined the closed-door meeting virtually and spent several minutes criticizing both Beatty and the judge who blocked his name from being added to the fa\u00e7ade, according to a source familiar with the meeting.In a separate resolution that was originally scheduled to be taken up Tuesday as well, the Kennedy Center said it \u201cis in a dire financial position\u201d and facing potential bankruptcy after it \u201cexhausted its fiscal resources\u201d and that only Trump can rescue it. In order to do so, the board had said he would have to be recognized for his efforts on the exterior of the building.  \u201cThe Kennedy Center is in such a precarious fiscal position that it will not be able to support its payroll obligations, nor routine maintenance contracts within a matter of weeks,\u201d the draft resolution that was made public in a court filing said. \u201cWhile actively considering alternative means of fiscal survival, President Trump has offered to step in and raise the necessary funds to keep the Center from bankruptcy during its much needed renovation.\u201d\u201cWith certain fiscal collapse within weeks, the board seeks to determine what recognition and acknowledgement will comply\u201d with the judge\u2019s earlier order banning the center from being renamed the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The resolution was not voted on at the meeting because the board said it needed to focus on the closure issue. The board had voted last month to instead add the words \u201crenovated and restored by President Donald J. Trump\u201d to the building and to rename the property \u201cPresident Donald J. Trump Plaza\u201d by Sept. 8. The new draft resolution offered numerous other similar suggestions.In a ruling issued just ahead of the board vote, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper found the board\u2019s latest attempt to add Trump\u2019s name to the facade was also illegal.\u201cSimply put, Defendants cannot install memorials for President Trump or anyone or anything else at the Kennedy Center without Congress\u2019s blessing. The board resolution bucks a federal court order and a statute Congress enacted.\u201dHe also noted the board\u2019s threat about fundraising \u2014 as well as another that the center may need to be razed if Trump\u2019s repair plan isn\u2019t followed \u2014 with skepticism.The \u201cgovernment offered \u2018no proof that current or future donations hinge on President Trump\u2019s name being on the building\u2019 and \u2018no competent evidence that removing the Trump name would prevent the Center from fulfilling its artistic mission, as it has done for the last sixty years,\u2019\u201d he wrote.\u201cIn fact, evidence before the Court pointed in the opposite direction: The renaming of the Center coincided with declines in revenue and contributions, as artists cancelled performances, the Washington National Opera ended its 50-year residency, and ticket sales and viewership of the Kennedy Center Honors broadcast dropped precipitously. The Board also has access to the $257 million that Congress appropriated for necessary capital improvements,\u201d Cooper wrote, but that\u2019s \u201cbeside the point for present purposes.\u201d\u201cThe Court appreciates that major supporters of cultural institutions are routinely recognized with prominent inscriptions on buildings and in other public areas. But Congress had other ideas for the Kennedy Center. It limited such memorials and donor recognitions to discrete (and discreet) areas, so as not to detract from the Center\u2019s function as an ongoing memorial to President Kennedy. The current Board\u2019s apparent disagreement with that approach does not change the law,\u201d he wrote.Cooper said he could \u201cnot license a violation of those authorities under threat that some unidentified donors will withhold their largesse if the Board is not allowed to have its way. It can even less reward a decision by Board members, including the Chair, to curb the Center\u2019s fundraising efforts because they cannot abide statutory restrictions on displaying his name.\u201dBeatty praised Cooper\u2019s ruling in a statement, saying \u201cThe law is extremely clear: The John F. Kennedy Center is named for President Kennedy \u2014 and no one else. But President Trump is holding the Kennedy Center hostage unless he can put his name on this sacred memorial.\u201d \u201cThis unlawfulness is as breathtaking as it is wrong, and it needs to stop,\u201d she said.\u201cLegal sanity has once again prevailed over Trump\u2019s vanity,\u201d her attorneys, Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Action and Nathaniel Zelinsky of Washington Litigation Group, said in a joint statement."
