The meeting began with two proclamations, designating the month of May as Historic Preservation Month and also as Biking Month. Comments not on the agenda included a ‘thank you’  to Public Works Director Charles Herbertson from Marta Zaragosa for resolving an issue that Los Angeles couldn’t, and a plea from June Lehrman and the LAX Oversight Committee for people to note and comment on jet noise.
