A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH REQUESTING ASSISTANCE FROM THE UNITED

TELEPHONE COMPANy REGARDING SQUARING OFF OF CITY
BOUNDARIES WITH REGARD TO POSTAL AND TELEPHONE
SERVICE.
WHEREAS, the municipal limits of the northern
boundary of the City of Boynton Beach run generally along
the southern boundary of Hypoluxo Road; and
WHEREAS, certain areas lying within said municipal
limits, to-wit, subdivision of Boynton Lakes, and various
other isolated areas in the San Castle Subdivision, are ser-
viced for postal purposes through the Lantana facility,
rather than the Boynton Beach facility; and
WHEREAS, said areas are serviced for telephone pur-
poses from facilities lying north of said area, which
result in residents located within the municipal limits of
Boynton Beach having Lantana mailing addresses and Lake
Worth phone service areas, all of which causes great con-
fusion and inconvenience, and damage, to said residents of
the City of Boynton Beach, basically predicated upon delay
in delivery of mail, and excess cost of phone charges for
calls made to the Delray Beach area.

sion of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida:
1. That the Post Master General of the United
States, and Southern Bell Telephone Company, are hereby
respectfully requested to immediately investigate the above
described situtation and to rectify same by rounding off
subject boundaries of service in order to provide residents
of the City of Boynton Beach with Boynton Beach postal ser-
vice and Boynton Beach telephone service. This request is
predicated on behalf of the 27,000 registered voters with
the City of Boynton Beach, Florida.
