The provisions of Section 62.135 to 62.148, inclusive, shall apply to the United States, this State, counties, municipal corporations, school districts and to all other governmental bodies, agencies or instrumentalities; provided, however, that if any such government or governmental agency or instrumentality shall file with the Board an agreement in writing to pay all damages, costs or expenses which may be suffered or incurred by this City as a result of the movement of any overload by such government, agency or instrumentality, then it need not pay any permit fee or post any deposit or policy of property damage insurance otherwise required by any such provision. This exemption shall not apply to any private contractor engaged by any governmental body nor to any equipment or vehicle not operated by an employee of the governmental body moving the overload under the supervision and control of an officer thereof. (Amended by Ord. No. 123,538, Eff. 2/9/63.)
Whenever the Board shall determine that the interests of the national defense or public safety require that any overload be moved at a time or in a manner not permitted by the express provisions of the article, it may endorse upon the permit an express exemption from any such particular provisions, which exemption shall be effective as to any overload moved under that permit. The Board may attach such conditions to any such exception as it may deem reasonable to be required for public safety or the protection of property, including a requirement of fair indemnity on behalf of the City, members of the public, or both. (Amended by Ord. No. 145,625, Eff. 4/6/74.)
