Summary of Request: 

In accordance with California Health and Safety Code 42311, an Air Quality Management District may adopt a schedule of annual fees for evaluation, issuance, and renewal of permits as well as a schedule of fees to be assessed on areawide or indirect sources of air contaminant emissions which are regulated by the district.

 

Consideration and possible approval of a resolution amending the Regulation 1 fee schedules incorporating implementation of the annual California Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments in accordance with local rule 1-310 is requested by the Air Quality Management District.  The Executive Office has prepared a memorandum to the Board of Supervisors regarding the proposal to publish the annually calculated Fee Schedule CPI adjustments.
