Discuss and Clarification on Weight Limit Permit When ERS Enterprises, LLC came to pick up an Exemption Certificate it was noticed that the Exemption Certificate wording did not match the ordinance. The existing wording was, "An exempt vehicle can not use a posted road as a through road. The intent is that the exempt vehicle needs to be making a delivery or pickup on the posted road in order to use the said road." The revised Exemption Certificate shall follow the wording of the ordinance which is, "Vehicles shall leave such road and re-enter roads not prohibited by such weight limitation at the closest to its immediate destination and shall take the most practical route to its destination." The clerk will correct the permit form.
