(A) The City Council has determined that loads in excess of 40,000 pounds (see Chapter 74, Schedule I) cause excessive wear to residential streets, which do not need to be designed for heavy commercial and industrial traffic, and therefore, a user tax is hereby established and levied against those persons, firms or corporations who find a need to transport loads in excess of 40,000 pounds on streets that are not designated as truck routes. Said tax is established and levied to maintain the streets and avenues in the city.
(B) The amount of said tax per trip per vehicle, combination of vehicles, article, machine or other equipment shall be adopted by resolution. All moneys received for said permits shall be deposited in the street fund.
