La Jolla post office is not up for sale. At least not yet. But there’s still no guarantee that it won’t be. The original timetable for selling the facility, however, is “out the window right now,” said Leslie Davis, interim chair of Save Our La Jolla Post Task Force at the group’s June 22 meeting. Comprised of a broad cross-section of community volunteers, the task force has been working to counteract the U.S. Postal Service’s Jan. 9 announcement that the La Jolla Post Office at 1140 Wall St. is to be relocated and its building sold to raise revenue for the financially strapped federal institution. To block the potential sale, the task force is continuing to pursue every legislative, governmental or legal avenue available to ensure La Jolla’s post office stays put. However, if it turns out there’s no other alternative but to sell the 75-plus-year-old historically significant institution, the task force has Plan B in place — namely, ensure the community gets the first option to buy it. Davis clued her colleagues in on the latest developments. Task force representatives, she said, met recently with aides to U.S. senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, as well as local Congresswoman Susan Davis. “Susan remains committed to helping us,” Davis said, noting an interesting “wrinkle” in developments involving the potential sale of the post office includes the fact that Coldwell Banker “has the agreement with the U.S. Postal Service as the sole real estate agent for La Jolla’s post offices.” Coincidentally, Davis said Feinstein’s husband “is a big player in Coldwell Banker.” Part of the problem with the task force’s “rescue mission” is that it has gotten tangled in the intricate bureaucratic web of decision-making. “We are not stone-cold clear who makes the decision as to who puts [the post office] up for sale,” Davis said, adding the latest information indicates “if it happens, it happens at the federal level.” Diane Kane and Angeles Leira, two former city employees, have been working to expedite La Jolla post office’s pending application for state historical designation. Kane was told by state postal officials that “we’re the only post office being considered as one of the 11 most-endangered postal properties,” characterizing La Jolla’s facility as a poster child for preservation. Leira said the community “needs to put conditions” on any prospective post office sale, suggesting a facade easement requiring building historical features be preserved as one possible way to go about it. “Facade easements do protect,” agreed Kane. “[But] they cost money.” The task force will next meet Friday, July 6 at 1:30 p.m at the Balmer Annex of Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St.
