66-358RESOLUTION NO. 66R -358
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM 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 Anaheim that the United States Post
Office Department by regulation 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 subdivisions in requiring underground utilities is complete-
ly frustrated, and
WHEREAS, rural type mailboxes destroy the aesthetic
beauty which the City has sought to develop in its new subdivi-
sions, 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 Anaheim does hereby go on record as opposing the
Post Office Department 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 Anaheim with respect to this arbitrary
and capricious ruling by the United States Post Office Depart-
ment.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and signed by
me this 17th day of May, 1966.
