Japanese Garden Meeting Follow Up

Yesterday's blog featured the audio from a local meeting concerning the proposed sale of the UCLA Japanese Garden.

As a follow up, you can read some documents that were distributed at the meeting below.  Also, reference was made at the meeting to the legal action that was taken by UCLA (technically by the Regents) to allow the sale.  Some legal documents from that action can also be found below.  Note that there is reference in the documents to there being no opposition from the state Attorney General.  Obviously, there has been opposition from other quarters including the Carter family.  Whether the Attorney General might have responded differently had the opponents known of UCLA's action at the time it occurred is another matter.  It is likely they would have made their concerns known to the Attorney General and the court.


Three documents distributed at the meeting can be read below:
