Mayor Neisen called a special hearing to order at 8:30 P.M. to consider a Village
renumbering. Mayor Neisen introduced Stan Rydell of the St. Paul Post Office
\epartment, Ron Fagerstrom, Fire Chief, and Tim Smith, Police Officer.
Councilman Johnson stated that this hearing resulted after prior meetings with Police,
Fire and Postal authorities.
Mr. Rydell stated that he was here to sell the Village on a Metropolitan renumbering
system. He felt that in general the Seven County Metropolitan area was delinquent
in its numbering system. Dakota and Washington Counties are the only counties which
have adopted the new Metropolitan system. He declared that most resentments for
changing of addresses come from changing the street names and not the numbers. He
impressed upon the audience of 35 persons how a change in numbering would assist
emergency persons, delivery people and friends in finding their residence. Under
the Metropolitan numbering system, each mile out from the Capitol would equal 1,000
numbers.
Fire Chief Fagerstrom explained problems that were in existence as a result,of the
current system whereby 1/2 of the Village is a Minneapolis P.O. and the other 1/2
is a St. Paul P.O. He declared it to be a horrendous problem, especially in
dealing with East -West numbers.
Patrolman Smith reiterated the problems that Chief Fagerstrom mentioned regarding
possible failures of emergency vehicles being able to locate residences and he agreed
with Chief Fagerstrom that numbers should be made mandatory on all homes.
Councilman Johnson said thatin conversation with Mr. Ausse of the Post Office
`department, he was assured that Mounds View could have its own zip coded; However,
