SAN JACINTO OPPOSING CURBSIDE DELIVERY OF MAIL
BY THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE.
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the City Council

partment by regulation is denying door to door mail delivery service
to homes built in new subdivisions unless a rural type mailbox is
provided at the curb by each home owner, and

new subdivisions 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 San Jacinto does hereby go on record as opposing
the Post Office Department regulation requiring curbside mail-
boxes and does join with all other interested agencies and parties

reversal of the curbside mailbox rule by the United States Post
Office Department .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk be and is

position of the City of San Jacinto with respect to this arbitrary
and capricious ruling by the United States Post Office Department .
