Goal for Fee Stakeholder Process: Long term funding viability • While air quality continues to improve…fee revenues to operate program decrease • We’ve reduced workload where we can, but it is not reducing proportionally. • Still have Clean Air Act requirements to maintain delegation such as planning, monitoring, permitting • We have projected for an increase in expenditures due to factors outside our control while limiting expenditures that are within our control. - 111 MISSOURI ll m DEPARTMENT OF -------- - ------- - -------- --------- NATURAL RESOURCES 16
