�\ MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CI <br />FROM: CLERK-ADMINI <br />DATE: MAY 13, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: NEW BRIGHTON POST OFFICE <br />Mayor Linke recently became aware of the fact that changes <br />might be forthcoming with respect to the location of the New <br />Brighton Post Office and/or delivery of mail from that <br />facility. <br />At Mayor Linke's request I contacted Mr. Merritt Heaney, <br />Manager of the New Brighton Branch regarding this <br />information and was advised that he recently submitted a <br />report to the Post Office which included a suggestion that <br />the Branch Facility be relocated to a more central location <br />in their delivery area due to the lack of parking facilities <br />at their existing site and the rapid population growth they <br />are experiencing in the delivery area. <br />Mr. Heaney further suggested that if the City of Mounds View <br />was interested in this issue that we contact the Postmasters <br />of both St. Paul and Minneapolis as the City of Mounds View <br />is split in two different postal zones and they might be <br />interested in seeing a combination of those zones so that <br />they are not each responsible for one of the two zones. <br />Also, any efforts on the part of the City to obtain changes <br />in our postal situation should be coordinated with efforts <br />by our Federal T,agislators who would have to assist in <br />obtaining funding for the construction of new facilities if <br />such facilities were required. <br />staff would request Council direction as to how you wish to <br />approach this issue and would suggest that the time is right <br />for any effort in this area due to the fact that the Post <br />Office is aware of the current inadequacy. <br />DFP/mjs <br />
