Page 1 of the May 2007 'The Conch' (if you are a HPP landowner & not getting your copy, contact the Office, as this is your link to the subdivision) covered this issue. In a nutshell
the local post office informed HPP that they would have to take over responsibility of any new boxes but has not been confirmed by the USPS. HPP only can collect monies for road maintenance & improvements, & does not include responsibility for mailboxes (esp. repair of the ones that get broken into, run over, vandalized, & deteriorate.) HPP would have to have a bylaw change in order to that over this responsibility & liability. HPP is willing to designate safe spaces, if the USPS if the USPS will maintain ownership of the mailboxes.
This sounds like nobody really wants the maintenance & liablity of boxes that are treated the way these boxes are....really cannot blame them, I just wonder what would happen to residential boxes that the residents would have to maintain & secure...That might be a whole 'nother can of worms....
