A Special Meeting of the Mounds View Village Council on renumbering was called to

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 Neisen 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 I 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.
