Mr. Osaki noted that the Dieringer School District requests that

impact fees. Mr. Osaki noted that the Dieringer School District's

proposed for the Dieringer School District impact fees.

District's request to fix Dieringer's impact fees based on Auburn
School District's school impact fees.

representatives of the school districts in attendance relating to
calculation of school impact fees and their use.
In response to a question from Member Thordarson, Mr. Osaki
stated that he is aware of one developer that would be impacted by
the increase in the Dieringer School District impact fees. The
