Post Office or Postal?

Last night the board of directors held a special meeting to discuss the future of our post office. From what I gather, the USPS did not attend. However, the room was filled with questions and hopeful results.

​In a nutshell I am told that two options are being discussed. Both options seem to be acceptable solutions to the situation. However, as with any possibility of change that occurs in the PMC community there will be plenty of fodder for future debate on the topic.

​First option is a positive statement by the board of directors. They are looking into all the ramifications if the PMCPOA were to take over the existing postal structure. Of course, I am told, there would be an assessment increase in this situation. That poses a bunch of questions. My curiosity is whether the monies garnered from the recent filming of the TBS series Guest Book (to be released in 2017) will be adequate to help cover any initial set up charges for this sort of position. I don't see why it would not, personally.

​The second option is to install postal service boxes by the roadway, Mil Potrero. This is an adequate option for those of us who live here on the hill full time. However, this is their second choice.

I guess we all just need to stay tuned, remain informed, and speak out as to what we prefer. It is a democracy after all. Or so I am told. So, no need to go postal just yet.
