Omaha City Council to hold Tuesday meeting The Omaha City Council is set to meet Tuesday and vote on overriding a recent veto by Mayor Stothert on a city codes ordinance.

The regulations would add "unjustified costs" to affordable housing, according to Stothert. Supporters of the regulations say they are needed for safety.

Stothert has also proposed giving a total of $100,000 to Police Athletics for Community Engagement (PACE) , rather than only $50,000. This comes after a prior debate over the cost.

The City Council approved of the $50,000 back in April, as PACE was reportedly struggling to recover from its connection to a corruption scandal where funds were being misused.

Also on the agenda is a public hearing over paying a company $148,000 to assess flood damage from the May 21 storms.
