City Public Works could then <br />be responsible for posting/removal each year (see attached). .Garbage trucks, <br />emergency trucks and buses are exempt from limits. _ <br />c>W ~ <br />~ when someone :wants to make a delivery (i.e. a building project), they <br />come to City Hall to get .permission to exceed the limit. During 1989, this <br />happened onYy two times. Most cities do not post load limit signs. <br />Due to the infrequency of use and the expense involved, we recommend that we <br />discontinue posting these signs. We can notify individuals of the weight <br />restrictions on the Building Permit forms. Approximately .May 1st,"the City will <br />be removing the signs which have been posted this year. The City Code can be <br />amended when we review those chapters. <br />ACTION REQIIESTED: Turn down County offer to purchase signs and discontinue <br />posting load limit signs on City streets. <br />~~ <br />
