. � . <br /> LEGAL DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 2000-19 <br /> DATE: October 11, 2000 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager <br /> John W. Couter, Corporation Counsel <br /> Steven G. Jones, Assistant Corporation Counsel <br /> RE: Overweight Truck Ordinance <br /> Staff has recommended a new city ordinance making it unlawful for overweight trucks to <br /> be on city streets. The ordinance would also allow the inspection of trucks for safety violations. <br /> Currently, overweight and unsafe trucks found on city streets are prosecuted under the state <br /> statute. The suggested ordinance regarding overweight trucks would mirror that of the state <br /> statute. The only change between the suggested ordinance and the state statute would be that the <br /> City Legal Department would be responsible for the prosecution of said offenses and the City of <br /> Decatur, as opposed to the State of Illinois, would receive the fines from said conviction. . <br /> SGJ:sas <br />
