RESOLUTION
RE: PERMITS FOR OPERATION OF VEHICLES OF EXCESSIVE SIZE
AND WEIGHT ON COUNTY ROADS.
WHEREAS, previously by Resolution the Board of County Commis-
sioners, Weld County, Colorado, has determined that there has been excessive
damage to county roads and bridges caused by the operation thereon of
vehicles of excess size and weight, and
WHEREAS, the Board, after investigation, has determined that it
would be in the best interest of the County to take precautions to discourage
the destruction of county roads and bridges by operators of vehicles of excess
weight and size thereover, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to CRS 1973, 42-4-409, the Board of County
Commissioners, Weld County, Colorado, is vested with the authority to
issue or withhold permits, and to impose condition of operations on and
over its county roads and bridges of such vehicle or vehicles of excessive
size and weight, and has heretofore so resolved, and controlled the operation
on and over county roads and bridges pursuant to a permit issued by the Clerk
to the Board of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, said Board of County Commissioners, Weld County,
Colorado, has created an engineering department, and vested it with certain
duties, including the maintenance of roads and bridges, and upon investigation
has determined that the Weld County Engineering Department would be the
most knowledgeable department for the purpose of issuing permits for the
operation of vehicles of excessive size and weight on Weld County Roads,
and that this department has the capacity, and ability to issue said permits
in a fashion which would protect Weld County roads and bridges from vehicles
of excess size and weight, and
WHEREAS, in the past the Board has authorized the Clerk to the
Board of County Commissioners, Weld County, Colorado to issue said permits,
however, said Clerk to the Board has been delegated other duties, and is
without the specific expertise that the Board determines necessary for the
proper administration of the permit to operate vehicles of excess size and
weight on county roads and bridges, and that such expertise is found in the
Weld County Engineer's Office.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County
Commissioners, and it hereby authorizes and directs the Weld County
Engineer, or his authorized representative, to issue permits for the
operation of vehicles of excess size and weight on Weld County roads ONLY
after application therefor is properly made and properly acknowledged by
all utility companies, where ne c essary, and after the Weld County Engineer
has investigated the circumstances surrounding the application, and de-
termined those conditions upon which the permit may be granted, would in
the estimation of the Weld County Engineer best protect county roads and
bridges from the movement of excess size and weight vehicles over the
Weld County, Colorado, roads and bridges, including gaining such assurances
