Honorable President
and Members of the City Council,
Transmitted herewith is a Resolution approving a schedule of fees for the City of Omaha's Air
Quality Control Operating Permit Program and the Asbestos Inspection Program. This program
stems from the Federal Clean Air Act's Title V Program of 1990 which was adopted by the City
Council by Ordinance No. 33102 in 1993. Title V allows fees to be charged for pollutant sources.
A projection of the revenue obtained from the existing fee schedule shows a budget shortfall in 1999
if the fees are not changed.
The EPA recommends that fees be changed by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) annually. This
change is recommended in this resolution. This change was calculated to be needed to cover the
1998 budget, with the Emissions projected.
The Public Works Department requests your consideration and approval of the attached resolution
and Fee Schedule.
Respectfully submitted,
S
