TO: City Council
FROM Michael Multari, Community Development Director
VIA: John Dunn, CAO
SUBJECT: Appeal of ARC's action on postal kiosk in Foothill Plaza.
On June 20th, councilmembers continued this item to the' council's July 5th hearing to
allow additional study of alternatives. The US Postal Service has distributed requests
for proposals to merchants in the Foothill Plaza, hoping to provide a manned postal
service center within one of the businesses in the shopping center. It's a return to an
old-fashioned but effective approach to providing neighborhood mail services, and staff
believes this could provide an excellent alternative to the kiosk.
The postmaster is hoping for responses'to the RFP by late July. In the interim, the
postal service would rather not reactivate the kiosk until the feasibility of the manned
service center is known. Staff believes it would be premature to act on the appeal at
this time, and recommends that the council continue this item to the council's August
15th agenda.

1L
Jerk- for Automation,Says U.S.Postmaster I
a�� From United Press International
i CHICAGO—U.S. Postmaster General Anthony M. Frank said
Monday that postage rates will have to increase In early 1991 to
cover the costs of mail delivery and automation, which will be
essential by the year 2000. '
Frank refused to speculate how much first-class rates might go '
up,but he promised that the increases will allow the postal service 1
to improve efficiency by nxnuriin¢ automated operations and
establishing more postal facilities. i
"Wemeed some.sort of mail facility in every mail,"Frank told a t
I news conference. Frank said postal union fears that jobs would be I
lost because of the post office's agreement with Sears,Roebuck&
I Co., which allows Sears employees to work in postal facilities t
inside Sears stores,were unfounded.
