m <br />COUNCIL MEETING <br />FEB 9 1998 <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY OF 0R0^;0 <br />DATE: January 26,1998 <br />ITEM NO.1 <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Greg Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Public Works <br />Item Description: Seasonal Weight Restrictions <br />Attached is a list of the recommended axle weight limit restrictions for each City street. The <br />streets will be posted from March 15 through May 15, 1998. <br />The normal length of time that restrictions are in effect is related to weather conditions. <br />In the past several years, we have allowed solid waste haulers to continue their normal operations, <br />limiting them to gross weight on any single axle of seven tons or 14,000 pounds. If a street shows <br />signs of severe breakup, we will limit the solid waste haulers to smaller vehicles. <br />An axle limit exemption for public service vehicles to be used during emergency situations has <br />also been included in this resolution. <br />I have drafted a resolution for the 1998 weight limits for Council approval. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Proposed Motion: Moved by __, seconded by __, that Council adopt Resolution # <br />establishing the 1998 Weight Limits for City streets from March 15 through May 15, 1998.
