RESOLUTION NO. 2002- 55
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SECOND,
UNIQUE ZIP CODE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS
WHEREAS, many communities in Southern California enjoy zip codes which are
unique to their respective communities; and
WHEREAS, unique zip codes help to develop a city's identity; and
WHEREAS, sales taxes, franchise fees, federal funding and other city revenue
sources are tracked through zip codes; and
WHEREAS, cities who share zip codes may lose a portion of their revenue stream
to other jurisdictions which the post office recognizes as the primary geographic
area for that particular zip code; and
WHEREAS, several cities in Southern California also contain shared zip codes
and may not be aware of the negative impact such an arrangement may have on
their community; and
WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar has identified itself as one such city and is
desirous to develop a new, unique zip code for the section of city contained in the
"91789" zip code; and
WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar calls upon the League of California Cities to
support its request to develop a zip code that properly reflects the uniqueness and
separateness of the south section of the City from other communities.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. To request that the United States Postal Service develop and
institute a unique, separate zip code for those residents who reside in the "91789"
zip code.
SECTION 2. To ask that the League of California Cities support the efforts of
Diamond Bar and other cities which seek to institute zip codes that are unique and
separate from other jurisdictions.
SECTION 3. To request that the United States Post Office develop a plan to
address the concerns of other communities that may also have shared zip codes.
