[Ord. No. 2018-93]
Application must be made in writing. Written applications may be submitted in person, by mail, or by any of the various types of electronic communications equipment maintained in the Public Works Department.
[Ord. No. 2018-93]
Much of the data required on an application is specified by law. Forms have been developed to aid in applying for all types of permits. Any necessary forms may be obtained from the City of Bloomington Public Works Department.
A. 
When operating under authority of an overweight permit issued by the City of Bloomington, the following list of offenses shall be considered a violation of permit and will not render the entire permit null and void:
(1) 
Incorrect license number or state,
(2) 
Incorrect make, model, description or serial number,
(3) 
Incorrect numbers of axles,
(4) 
Gross, tandem or single axle weights that are in excess of those permitted. In this case, the violator may be fined for the excess weight in addition to the violation of permit,
(5) 
Failure to comply with the general conditions, specific provisions, and notes listed on the permit,
(6) 
Movement of the permit load within one day before or one day after the effective or expiration dates.
B. 
This list is not comprehensive, but reflects the most prevalent instances of Violation of Permit. Under a violation of permit, the permittee must either bring the permit load into conformance with the conditions of the permit or purchase a new permit before continuing.
[Ord. No. 2004-5]
A. 
Following an arrest for violation of a permit, if the load can be shifted to comply with the provisions of the permit, the driver or owner may make the shift and then proceed. If the load cannot be shifted or otherwise adjusted to comply with the permit, a new permit must be secured following the same procedures as for an original permit.
B. 
Once a permit is violated for weights above tolerance limits, a revision will not be issued even though weights can be adjusted to be within tolerance limits.
C. 
The fact that a new permit may be issued to continue the move carries no assumption of intent, error, mistake, or mitigating circumstances concerning the limitations, conditions, or provisions contained in the original permit that may affect its status subsequent to arrest.
D. 
In the event that a permit load is found moving either one day before the effective date or one day after the expiration date of the permit, the incident will be considered a violation of permit; however, the permit remains valid. [625 ILCS 5/15-301(h)] Outside of these limitations (two or more days before or after the effective date or expiration date), the officer shall proceed with violations of 625 ILCS 5/15-111 as no valid permit exists.
[Ord. No. 2004-5]
The permit to continue a move following a violation will be withheld until:
A. 
The Public Works Department has received clearance from the Police Department that the load may proceed.
B. 
All fees or fee adjustments have been paid or charged to the appropriate account.
C. 
Following a conviction for a third offense within a one-year period, the Public Works Department shall not issue permits to the person, firm, or corporation for a period of one year after the date of the conviction for such third offense. [625 ILCS 5/15-301(j)]
