For purposes of this Chapter 70, what constitutes "repetitive driving, operating, hauling, or moving of a vehicle" shall be determined by the Warrick County Engineer, in its sole and absolute discretion.
(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person shall repetitively drive, operate, haul, or move a vehicle with a gross weight of 12 tons or 24,000 pounds on any non-commercial county highway, regardless of any posted weight restriction or limit, without first entering into a road usage agreement with the Board of Commissioners authorizing such operation and use.
(C) Any person who causes damage to a county road, highway, or bridge as a result of repetitive driving, operating, hauling, or moving of a vehicle as described in § 70.09(A) shall be responsible for any and all costs necessary to repair and/or replace the damage to such road, highway, or bridge.
(D) In the event a person causes damage to a county road, highway, or bridge as described in § 70.09(A), above, the existence of a validly executed road usage agreement between said person and Warrick County shall be no defense to any action or claim brought against said person.
