The local Postmistress appeared before the Council requesting the approval of the Council for the Postal service to switch from house delivery to curbside delivery. This would necessitate the postal customer going to their curb, or in some cases, as far as a half block to pick up their mail. Council President Heald expressed concern in regard to congestion which would occur due to postal delivery and the cosmetic damage it would create in Mooresville. Councilman Ballard sighted that it appeared all the advantages which were given by the Postmistress were advantages for the post office with no advantages for the postal customer. Councilwoman Overholser stated that in the winter when the town shovels snow from the streets of Mooresville it would be an imposition on the postal customer due to the fact that often it would make it impossible for people to get to their mailbox. Councilwoman Overholser also advised the Council that if the mailboxes are placed on town right-of-way a liability could result for the town. Councilman Edwards stated that it would be necessary for the Council to have additional information on this change before he could make a decision. However, at this time he would be inclined to agree with the rest of the Council. Council President Heald asked the Postmistress to bring an actual mailbox and pictures of other towns which have curbside delivery to the August 20, 1991 Council meeting. He also urged the citizens of Mooresville to let their feelings on this matter be known before the August 20, 1991 Council meeting. Mr. Pat Carroll, 1350 Rooker Road asked the Council to review the town's Zoning Ordinance in the near future. Councilman Edwards advised the Council that the Plan Commission had decided to review the ordinance due to the rapid change currently taking place in Mooresville. The Council agreed this needs to be done. Mr. Paul Sterrett asked the Council if they had investigated installing street lights on Victor Drive. Street Superintendent Joe Beikman informed the Council that he is working with IPL on this project. Mr. Sterrett also asked the Council to install a street sign on Victor Drive.
