The second point of the challenge is related to actions taken by Orange County to set truck weight limits to access roads in Orange County. The allegation is Cemex was not aware of the action taken by Orange County, therefore Cemex claims a violation of due process occurred. Council will need to decide to what extent the City would like to participate as a respondent. The City can wait for Lake County to respond or take a more active role and file a response The order issued by the Lake County Board of County Commissioners denying the claims had two main parts.
