Pursuant to M.S. §§ 169.80 through 169.88, as they may be amended from time to time, the Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation shall establish appropriate seasonal load restrictions for municipal streets and shall cause notice of the restrictions to be posted as required.

(C) Application for permit; fee. The operator of each overload vehicle shall make application for the special permit and provide the information as required by the Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation.
