TO: <br />FROM <br />DATE <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />November 5/ 1992 <br />% <br />SUBJECT: Post Office for the New City Facilities <br />Because the new city facilities are located in the zip code area <br />served by the Long Lake Post Office city staff has been moving <br />ahead with plans to use the Long Lake Post Office for the city's <br />postal business. This has included the ordering of some new <br />forms with the Long Lake zip code in the city's address. The <br />Council has expressed concern that the loss of the city's postal <br />business may affect the viability of the Crystal Bay Post Office. <br />The following is an analysis of the issues related to each of the <br />two alternatives. <br />1. Crystal Bay Post Office <br />A. Advantages <br />1) Increases the probability of the longterm <br />viability of the Crystal Bay Post Office <br />B. Disadvantages <br />1) The Crystal Bay Post Office will not deliver <br />mail outside of its zip code area. Staff would <br />have to pick up mail from the Crystal Bay Post <br />Office each morning and drop-off mail each <br />evening. The School District has agreed that if <br />the city uses the Long Lake Post Office, school <br />district personnel would pick up the city's mail <br />each morning. <br />2) The UPS uses the zip code as its location key <br />for parcel delivery. If the city's mailing <br />address is Crystal Bay, the city could experience <br />problems with UPS delivery. <br />2. Long Lake Post Office <br />A. Advantages <br />1) The mailing address would reflect the zip code <br />related to the location of the new facilities. <br />2) The school district would pick up the city's <br />mail. <br />3) The Long Lake Post Office is located closer to <br />the city facilities. <br />B. Disadvantages <br />1) The loss of the city's business could affect <br />future decisions concerning the viability of the <br />Crystal Bay Post Office.
