A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING POLICY FOR THE
REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED MAILBOXES
WHEREAS, property owners often locate mailbox structures adjacent
to a public street within the City right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, these mailbox structures are sometimes damaged by the
City during snowplowing operations; and
WHEREAS, property owners who incur damage to their mailboxes as
the result of snowplowing operations sometimes request that the City
repair such damage.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the
City of Shorewood as follows:
1. That the City adopt the fOllowing policy concerning the
repair of mailbox structures damaged during snowplowing operations:
"Each complaint of snow plow damage to a mailbox structure is
investigated. Where reasonable evidence indicates there was
physical contact between the snow plowing unit and the mailbox,
the structure is repaired or replaced as need indicates. When
replacement is necessary, the City will provide only a standard
metal mailbox and wooden post. If, in the opinion of the Public
Works Director, it appears that the structure was damaged by
flying or pushed snow, the owner is so advised and informed that
the City will assume no responsibility for repairs."
