RES-2013-169RESOLUTION NO. 2013 - 169
A RESOLLTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM IN SUPPORT OF HOUSE RESOLUTION 30 AND
URGING THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE TO TAKE
ALL APPROPRIATE MEASURES TO ENSURE THE
CONTINUATION OF 6 -DAY MAIL DELIVERY SERVICE
WHEREAS, the United States Postal Service has announced that it may need to
reduce the frequency of its mail delivery service from 6 days a week to 5 days a week; and
WHEREAS, 6 -day mail delivery service is an essential service that our community
has relied on since 1912, particularly our working families that depend on the Postal Service for
the timely delivery of their paychecks; and
WHEREAS, for many in our community, Social Security is the primary or sole
source of income and any delay in the delivery of Social Security checks would make it difficult
for many to purchase even essential items, such as food and medicine; and
WHEREAS, reducing mail delivery service to 5 days a week would inevitably
cause not only delays in the delivery of mail, but higher postal costs, due to the many hours of
additional overtime that the Postal Service would require in order to keep up with demand.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Anaheim as follows:
That the Anaheim City Council formally supports the continuation of 6 -day mail
delivery service and urges the United States Congress and the United States Postal
Service to take all appropriate measures to ensure the continuation of 6 -day mail
delivery service; and
That the City Clerk is directed to send this Resolution to the President of the
United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the
President of the United States Senate, and the Honorable Members of the 113th
Congress representing the City of Anaheim; and
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION, is approved and adopted by the City Council
of the City of Anaheim on this 5th day of November , 2013, by the following roll call
vote:
