P.L Cal Box 3006 Lgfi, California 95241 Dear Mr. Schrteder: Please be advised that my law firm represents the Frank C. Alegre Trucking Co., Inc. relative to the hearing that has been scheduled for November 18, 1987, to discuss weight limits on the city streets of Lodi. As you are aware, the Council voted on October 21, 19;1, to refer the issue of truck routes to a future hearing following the submission to the City of an Enviromental Impact Report on this issue. Consequently,.in that the issue of weight limits on the streets are intergrally involved with the issue of truck routes and traffic patterns that will be the subject of the upcoming Environmental Impact Report, any such hearing on weight limits would be an attempt to circumvent the Council's decision to refer these issues for an Environmental Impact Furthermore, please be advised that my client will intend to pursue any and all remedies including litigation should the Council discuss and vote on any weight limitations for the city streets of Lodi absent the submission and discussion of a full Ervironmental Impact Report on these issues. I thank you for your attention to these matters, and I will assume that the Council will defer on the issues of weight limits pending the receipt and review of the Jim Schroeder October 23, 1987 Page Two subject Environmental Impact Report. I thank you for your consideration of these matters, and should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
