A. No person shall move or operate upon any of the city streets any vehicle with a load or loads in excess of those permitted by the Vehicle Code without a written permit from the city engineer.

B. The city engineer may, by written permit, authorize a load or loads in excess of those allowed for in the Vehicle Code, if, in his/her judgment, the streets upon which such vehicle is to be operated can safely withstand the additional weight, or if the applicant will guarantee to the city that all costs of repair to the streets or to the public property of the city damaged by the movement of such load or loads will be paid in full. Such permit shall be granted upon such conditions and upon depositing such bond as the city engineer in his/her discretion may require.

C. The applicant for such a permit shall pay a permit fee as established from time to time by city council resolution for a single trip or for an annual permit which will allow continuous operation.
