Alternatives are presented by CBS members at this meeting, which would save money as well as trees. Brignati dismisses this advice, claiming that their consultation with Georgia DOT takes care of any potential problem. CBS members counter that DOT has nothing to do with federal wetlands regulations. 6 acres of trees are harvested and land graded at Sustella Ave.
Work is stopped.
Resolution condemning the action at Sustella, especially the clearing of 5.8 acres of trees, after the fact, passes the EIC and the Faculty Senate, both unanimously and without discussion. VSU proposes to extend even farther westward into wet bottomland forest with 27 additional spaces. Motion by D.Bogyo asks that those 27 spaces be deleted and that the north entrance be detoured around an island of trees. Brignati shows EIC members which trees will be saved near entrance. VSU agrees to delete 27 spaces.
