VILLAGE OF MOUNDS VIEW
RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA
May 17, 1971
A hearing to consider a change in numbering and zip codes within the corporate
limits was called to order by Mayor Rustad at 7:07 P.M. on Monday, May 17, 1971
at the Village Hall, 2401 Highway #10, St. Paul, Minnesota 55112.
Present:
Mayor Rustad
Councilman Blanchard
Councilman Hodges
Councilman Neisen
Councilman Johnson
Also Present:
Clerk- Administrator Zylla
In attendance were John Ausse and Stan Rydell of the St. Paul Postal Department,
Fire Chief Ron Fagerstrom and about three other pe'sons who were residents of
the Village.
Councilman Neisen explained the background for the hearing. He stated that
Mounds View has two postal zones and some duplication between the two zones.
The concern turned to action when there was an emergency at 2209 Hillview
Road, of which there are two. Fire Chief Fagerstrom and some members of the
Mounds View Provisional League of Women Voters met with Mr. Neisen and others
to suggest alternatives to solving the problem.
Councilman Neisen stated that the committee wanted 1) east west streets renumbered,
2) one Mounds View zip code, 3) north south streets renumbered, and 4) all houses
out of order renumbered.
Mr. Rydell stated that Mounds View was not thinking big enough. That the postal
department is being forever faced with duplication of numbers and streets which
is leading to a metropolitan renumbering system. He stated Dakota and Washington
County derive their numbers by the distance they are from the State Capitol.
Mr. Ausse added that with problems increasing in handling mail and with computer-
ization, he doubted whether in two years a letter without a zip code would be
delivered. He mentioned the critical nature of handling costs.
Mr. Ausse suggested that the Council send a letter to the St. Paul Postmaster
asking for his advice in solving our numbering and postal zone problem. He
felt that action would be taken by him to assist in a solution.
Mr. Ausse praised the Council for their concern in trying to remedy a seemingly
insurmountable problem.
