City Council meeting of February 3, 1997 Page 3 from Oneka Lake. Estimated project cost is $69,500, a portion of which may be shared by the City of Lino Lakes. Leroux made motion, Miron seconded, directing engineers from WSB to develop the Clearwater Creek engineering proposal, at an estimated cost of $69,500. VOTING AYE: Barnes, Goiffon, Leroux, Miron VOTING NAY: Debi Johnson Motion Carried. RECOMMENDED ROAD ORDINANCE CHANGE The City's Maintenance Supervisor has recommended a change to Hugo City Code, Chapter 180, Section 6, regarding the load limits for motor vehicles using City streets during the Spring -thaw period. Currently, ordinance limits the weight of vehicles during the Spring thaw to three tons per axle. The Maintenance Supervisor has recd mnended increasing the weight limit to five tons per axle to align the City's practice with those of adjacent municipalities, the County, and State. The three -ton load limit has been difficult to enforce, and has required numerous exemptions. In addition, the recommended ordinance language specifies that the weight limits within the City of Hugo will run concurrently with those established by the MNDOT for their roads in the same area, which will align the City's practice with those of the County and State, and reflect current City practice. In order to protect those roads which may not handle the additional weight, the revised ordinance allows the Engineer or Maintenance Supervisor to post certain roads for reduced weight limits. Leroux made motion, Goiffon seconded, to schedule a public hearing for March 3, 1997, at 7:05 PM, to consider the proposed change Hugo City Code 180, Section 6, entitled Motor Vehicle and Traffic. All aye. Motion Carried.
