4.    ROUNDTABLE:    
•    Councilmember Cockrell mentioned speed control measures within District 3, which was brought up at the Public Safety Advisory Board (PSAB) meeting.  Existing traffic control measures were requested by a small group who petitioned the City but these measures affect a much larger population and their desires should be considered.  
•    Councilmember Gray asked about the Schedule of Fees and Charges.  He wondered if Staff periodically reviewed the fees in the UDO.  Mr. Arbo explained the entire Schedule is adopted annually but amendments could be approved throughout the year.  About six years ago, after extensive review, Council set a policy of 50% recovery rate.  Councilmember Cockrell noted the previous discussions regarding amendments to the Schedule included much more than UDO fees.  Mr. Arbo advised that Staff will provide the Council with the original process and documents for a larger policy discussion on development fees and cost.  
•    Councilmember Gray wanted to know about the Council retreat.  Mayor Rhoads will discuss with the new councilmembers.
•    Mayor Rhoads encouraged everyone to vote in the April 3rd election.
