(Ord. 2389 § 1 (part); May 23, 1967; Ord. 5116 § 1; April 17, 1990.)

The application for a permit shall be upon forms to be supplied by the City of Anaheim and shall set forth the following information:

.010 The name and address of the applicant;

.020 Description of vehicle and load to be operated or moved;

.030 Highways over which permit to operate is requested;

A fee shall be paid by the applicant upon the filing of each application for a permit as follows:

.010 Two dollars for one trip;

.020 Ten dollars for a permit valid for one year from date of issuance, and permitting any number of trips within or into the City of Anaheim within said year; provided, however, that separate applications shall be filed for each trip containing the information required by this chapter. (Ord. 2389 § 1 (part); May 23, 1967.)

The Director of Public Works shall, by written permit, authorize the use of highways within the City of Anaheim in accordance with the terms of the application, if, in his judgment and that of the Chief of Police, said highways and appurtenant public and private property can safely withstand such use. Such permit shall specify the period of time for which it is to be effective; the route or routes to be traveled; the date, hour and number of trips to be made; such stops as shall be made within the City of Anaheim, and such other terms and conditions which the Director of Public Works and the Chief of Police determine necessary for public convenience and safety. Every permit shall be carried in the vehicle or combination of vehicles to which it refers and shall be open to inspection of any peace officer, traffic officer, authorized agent of the Director of Public Works, or any other officer or employee charged with the care or protection of such highways. (Ord. 2389 § 1 (part); May 23, 1967.)

A written agreement, approved as to form by the City Attorney, shall be filed by the applicant providing that the City of Anaheim and any officer or employee thereof shall be saved harmless by the applicant from any liability or responsibility for any accident, loss or damage to persons or property happening or occurring as the proximate result of the use of highways under the terms of the application and the permit granted in response thereto, and that all of said liabilities are hereby assumed by the applicant. Such permit shall be granted upon such conditions and upon depositing such bond and certificate of insurance as the Director of Public Works in his discretion may require. (Ord. 2389 § 1 (part); May 23, 1967.)

Pursuant to Section 35700 of the Vehicle Code, vehicles owned or operated by the City of Anaheim shall be exempt from the gross weight limitations of the Vehicle Code when operated upon streets under the jurisdiction of the City of Anaheim. (Ord. 5116 § 2; April 17, 1990.)

Any person, firm, association or corporation moving or operating upon any highway in the City of Anaheim any vehicle, combination of vehicles, mobile equipment or load contrary to any term or condition of a permit issued under the authority of

Chapter 14.52 hereof shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and such permit shall be revoked and canceled by the Director of Public Works. (Ord. 2389 § 1 (part); May 23, 1967.)
