Vision Principles: Change and New Direction and Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community. Background: • House Bill 806 (hauling permit equity legislation) was passed during the last General Assembly session. • Every county, city and town cannot issue multi trip hauling permits for travel over routes under its jurisdiction for seagoing containers, concrete mixer vehicles, and vehicles hauling excavated material. • The City must enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles no later than January 1, 2013. Discussion: • DMV has created a mechanism to issue statewide multi trip hauling permits from a centralized system for designated permits. • The permits that are issued under these sections of city code are without cost. • The permits issued by DMV will be valid on all unrestricted state and local highways. Financial Impact • For existing permits that were no charge, DMV will effective January 1, 2013 collect $130.00 per permit. Localities will receive $120.00 to address road damage on a lane mile basis. The monies that localities receive will be proportional to the lane miles traveled within their boundaries.
