A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA OPPOSING CURBSIDE DELIVERY OF MAIL BY THE
UNITED STATES POST OFFICE.
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the City Council of the
City of Azusa that the United States Post Office Department by regu-
lation is denying door to door mail delivery services to homes built
in new subdivisions unless a rural type mailbox is provided at the
curb by each home owner, and
WHEREAS, by this arbitrary regulation the work done in new sub-
divisions in requiring underground utilities is completely frustrated,
and
WHEREAS, rural type mailboxes destroy the aesthetic beauty which
the City has sought to develop in its new subdivisions, and
WHEREAS, such an arbitrary policy on the part of the Post Office
Department is rank discrimination against new home owners who will be
forced to put rural type mailboxes in front of their new homes which
is not demanded of other property owners, and
WHEREAS, the location of mailboxes at curbside will increase the
temptation to tamper and pilfer the United States mail,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Azusa does hereby go on record as opposing the Post Office Depart-
ment regulation requiring curbside mailboxes and does join with all
other interested agencies and parties in encouraging that appropriate
action be taken to bring about a reversal of the curbside mailbox rule
by the United States Post Office Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk be and is hereby
directed to send certified copies of this Resolution to all interested
parties and agencies in order to present the position of the City of
Azusa with respect to this arbitrary and capricious ruling by the
United States Post Office Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk certify to the adoption
of this resolution.
Adopted and approved this 16th day of May, 1966.
