Motion Carried. <br />REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL SPEED LIMIT SIGNS ON ONEKA LAKE BLVD. <br />Jim Compton, 5878 Oneka Lake Boulevard, contacted City staff regarding additional speed limit <br />signs he felt were necessary on Oneka Lake Blvd. The City Engineer, Dave Mitchell, and Public <br />Works Director, Chris Petree, reviewed the request, and recommended that no additional 30 mph <br />signs be installed between Sweet Grass Meadows and TH61, on either side of the road. Captain Don <br />McGlothlin addressed the Council outlining different measures that are used to control traffic speed. <br />Barnes made motion, Leroux seconded, to accept the recommendation of the City Engineer that no <br />additional speed limit signs were necessary on Oneka Lake Blvd., and an attempt be made to <br />determine the speed limit in that area. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />ZIP CODE BOUNDARY REVIEW PROCESS <br />For many years, City staff has had difficulty with mail delivery to Hugo residents and businesses <br />located in the southwest portion of the City, currently served by the White Bear Lake Post Office. <br />There have been dozens of circumstances in which the delivery of mail to residents has been delayed <br />because the City of Hugo is served by, according the central Minneapolis Post Office, a rural route <br />delivery system, as compared to the WBL Post Office, which delivers on a City route system. Staff <br />met with the Hugo Postmaster and the manager for address management systems for the USPS in <br />Minneapolis. The USPS, as a general policy, assigns ZIP codes on closely linked factors such as <br />mail volume, delivery area size, geographic location, and topography, but not necessarily to <br />municipal or perceived community boundaries. However, delivery growth and changing <br />demographics can necessitate adjustments to ZIP code boundaries in order to achieve postal service <br />objectives. A simple majority of survey respondents is adequate for approval, according to Hal Otto, <br />manager for the address management systems for the USPS in Minneapolis. Mayor Stoltzman <br />suggested that a City Letter accompany the survey outlining reasons why changing Post Office would <br />be advantageous for residents. <br />Barnes made motion, Leroux seconded, that a letter be sent to the USPS in Minneapolis requesting a <br />customer support survey for the residents and businesses in the 55110 area to determine whether they <br />would support central mail delivery service from the Hugo Post Office. If possible, a City letter <br />would be included with the survey explaining benefits of the change to Hugo citizens. <br />All a ye.
