Dear Mr. Andreoli:
Tha~~ you for your letter of September 18, 1972, relative
to the City of Vernon Code which provides that certain
loads be covered so as to obscure the contents from pub-
lic view.
I have discussed this problem with the City Attorney
and, in all probability, the subject of your letter will
be discussed at the next Council Meeting on October 17,
1972.
I will contact you shortly after that date.
Very truly yours,
/A< #/ J:.

City Attorney
Dear Chuck,
Please find attached a copy of a request from Baker
Commodities, Inc.
California Vehicle Code Sections 23114 and 23115 make
reference to covered loads but only for the purpose of
preventing spilling or leakage.
Section 12.5 of the City Code requires t~~t vehicles
hauling refuse be constructed so as to prevent leakage.
Section 12.6 of the City Code requires loads to be covered
so as to obscure the contents of the load. (City Ord. 330).
Appendix V Art. 2 Section 9 of the City Code gees into more
detail on how a vehicle must be constructed so as to prevent
leakage and spilling.
City Ord. 330 was adopted by the City Council on October
2l, 1924. Appendix V Art. 2 Section 9 was adopted December
16, 1969.
In reviewing the State law and the City Code two questions
arise. ,(1) If the State law requires covers on load to
prevent leakage or spilling is it proper for the City Code
to require covers for another purpose such as ,,----- to
obscure the contents of the load "2

(2) Sections 12.5 and 12.6 are from an ordinance
passed in 1924 and appendix V Art. 2 Section 9 was
adopted in 1969. Does the 1969 adoption by infer-
ence supercede the 1924 adoption?
rIm inclined to agree with the request from Baker
Commodities and even though their letter does not
mention it, 1'm sure the real problem is the cost
that goes into the covering and uncovering operation.
Very t~uly yours,
I

City of Vernon, California
Dear Chief Bockhacker:
A problem has arisen recently pertaining to the portion or the Vernon
City Code which reads "that the trucks must be t1provided wi7::h tops or
covers in such a way as to obscure the contents of t~eir load from
public viewlf. Vie feal that this section of the Code should be a..'TIended
so that we do not have to cover the material as long as we are tra.'1S-
porting normal loads, which in most cases cannot be seen from the
stree1:.
Fcrtner, our plant is located in the area of the ci~J where predominant-
ly pac~inghouses and businesses allied to the packinghouse industry are
lo~ated. The material is transported over a short distance. This is
a~ industrial city, rather than a resid~ntial city, ~~d tna ~ajcrLty or
paople Harking in the City of Vernon are a>H!"e of the type of material
and co~~odities that are transp~rted to and from packinghousese
We can see no hazard in the fact that a portion of the top of a load may
be visible to public view and He would very much appreciate consideration
of a suspension of the enforcement of this portion of the Code. It may
be that our request will need to be taken before the City Council~ If
this be the case, we will appreciate your advice as to the best mea..s
of presenting our problem to them.
~a would like to add that when we speak of contents being open to public
view, we do not mean to the extent of possible spillage due to the
materialts being mo~~ded too high, but are spea~ing of normal loads for
our v~hicles.
Any consideration you can give us will be much appreciated. ~e assure
you of our desire to cooperate with your department.
Sinco3rely,
,3A:<ER CO:'lHODITIES) INC.
