Places you on item number four. Approval of minutes for the march 5th regular meeting. Secretary, id like to make some opening remarks, if thats all right, before we get into minutes, i wanted to just thank everyone for being here today, and i just feel that i need to open up this meeting with an acknowledgment of the tragic events that occurred at west portal station over the weekend. Im imagining, but i dont know. But im imagining that many people are feeling anger, rage, a sense of powerlessness, hopelessness. I know that ive cycled through these feelings myself over the past 72 hours, and this happens whenever i hear of any fatalities or serious injuries on our streets. It shouldnt happen in our city or anywhere, and our hearts are with the family. I also know that when these kinds of things happen, there is a natural tendency to want to make sense of the situation very quickly by finding a villain to blame, pointing a finger and demanding action and i understand that. I think that
