PROCEEDINGS OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL VILLAGE OF MOUNDS VIEW RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA January 15, 1973 A Special Meeting of the Mounds -View Village Council on renumbering was called to order by Mayor Neisen at 8:00 P.M. on January 15, 1973 at the Mounds View Village Hall, 2401 Highway #10, St. Paul, Minnesota 55112. Present: Also Present: Mayor Neisen Councilman Baumgartner Councilman Johnson Absent: Councilman Hodges Councilman Pickar Clerk- Administrator Zylla Attorney Meyers Engineer Boehm Clerk- Administrator Zylla explained the renumbering system advocated by the Village Council which included renumbering all East -West numbers in Mounds View in the postal zone 55432. The change was to make the numbers conform to those in the postal zone 55112. A large map of the Village which outlined the present Minneapolis/ St. Paul postal boundary was alluded to. The Clerk stressed the inconsistencies and lack of uniformity in East -West numbers because of the postal boundary line. He noted that two hearings were held prior to this evening's hearing, the last one in July 1972. The result of the problem the lack of persons being able to locate residences and businesses is what led to the discussion of renumbering. Clerk Zylla stated that 288 letters were mailed to affected property owners notifying them of the hearing and what their new number would be if the Council adopted the change. Mayor Neisen noted that Mr. Ausse and Mr. Gregory were in attendance from the St. Paul Post Office and Mr. McKuen was here from the Minneapolis Post Office. Mayor Nelsen called for questions or comments from the approximately 35 persons in attendance. Mr. Robert Knobel, 1875 County Road H stated that his number would be 200 different from across the street (New Brighton) and an odd number just like across the street. Mr. Gregory discussed the metropolitan numbering system. The Council felt no advan- tage could be obtained by Mounds View going to the Metropolitan System until the change was made area wide. Mayor Neisen asked Mr. McKuen about future changes in mail delivery such as having all mail delivered by St. Paul. Mr. McKuen replied that there has been discussion about mail coming from one post office but nothing definite has been resolved. Mr. Lyle Nelson, 2745 Sherwood Road advocated the change. Mrs. Barbara Haake, 1740 County Road 1 advocated the proposed change plus changing the zip code to 55112. Mrs. Ole Bacon, postal committee member, stated she favored the change because people can't find us. Mr. Ausse stated we could write the District Office requesting one zip code.
