Good evening commissioners and superintendant. Thank you for having us here.

That is when we started to build awareness especially with teachers and site communities and we had many presentations both at sites and principal meetings and other Community Meetings to create an awareness of the standards.

Of very important impact these portable housing and childcare and open space is all very important, but again, once again, transit impact fees are basically left off the table. As a reminder the transit Impact Development the most likely will not apply. To this project. Because it is accommodation of residential and Nonprofit Development which of the two major exceptions to which you can drive one or more mack trucks. So, it is frustrating that this keeps happening.
