Description: Designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4770 Eureka Ave in Yorba Linda, California, as the "Cottle Centanni Post Office Building."

Target Audience
Population: People using or affiliated with USPS facility at 4770 Eureka Ave, Yorba Linda, CA
Estimated Size: 10000
- The bill pertains specifically to the designation of a single postal facility in Yorba Linda, California.
- Individuals directly impacted are likely to be those who use or work at this specific USPS facility.
- Residents of Yorba Linda or those in the immediate vicinity may be indirectly affected through local recognition or changes in postal services.
- There is no direct international impact since the bill concerns a domestic postal service facility.
- The bill does not propose changes that would affect postal rates or operations at a national scale.
Reasoning
- The policy involves renaming a postal service facility, which means the primary impact is on local recognition and any pride or sentiment associated with the name change.
- The budget of $5,000 USD in year 1 is likely adequate for new signage and minor administrative updates.
- Given the simplicity and localized nature of the policy, it does not interfere with postal operations or affect service levels, thus the functional impact is low.
- Wellbeing changes are more likely related to community pride or sentiment rather than tangible benefits like economic or health improvements.
- The simulation should include varied perspectives: people directly using the facility, local residents, and potentially employees at the facility.
