A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR, CALIFORNIA PETITIONING THE UNITED STATES POSTAL
SERVICE TO ESTABLISH AN OFFICIAL POST OFFICE STATION TO
SERVE THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
A. RECITALS
(i). There are over 2,000 business in the City of Diamond
Bar and some 65,000 permanent residents generating a substantial
amount of postal revenue; and
Approximately 2,000 residents and 211 businesses
physically located within the city boundaries of the City of
Diamond Bar must indicate that they are located in Walnut to
accommodate the United States Postal Service; and
Streets in the City of Diamond Bar are not shown as
being in Walnut in the Thomas Guide or other street guides and
thereby creating much confusion; and
(iv) . The reason given by the U. S. Postal Service is that
"If we were to approve the address designation of City Diamond Bar
for all addresses within the corporate limits of the city, we would
be inviting operational difficulties that would result in
deteriorated service and higher costs;" and
(v). It is our considered opinion that mail service to
City of Diamond Bar could not be worse - where persons and
businesses are required to use a Walnut designation for
correspondence or face service delays or mishandled mail; and
(vi). The City of Diamond Bar is a general law city,
incorporated in 1989 with a mayor and city council type of
government, and is serviced primarily by a branch of the Pomona
Post Office; and
Good, dependable mail service is essential to the
successful operation of any business and is a right guaranteed to
the citizens of our community by the Constitution of the United
States; and
(viii). Unless our mail service and addresses are improved
and corrected, the City will continue to experience a loss of
community identification and relationship with those residents and
businesses located in the affected area.
B. RESOLUTION
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Diamond Bar does hereby request that the U. S. Postal
service establish a Post Office facility in the City of Diamond Bar
to serve those citizens located in the City of Diamond Bar so that
any business or resident located within the City of Diamond Bar can
designate such as his mailing address.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City
of Diamond Bar this 18th day of December, 1990.
I, LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar do
