> # <br />-# <br />The Postmaster in Minneapolis has indicated that regardless of <br />which post office is selected, the city can use "Orono” in its <br />mailing address. This will generally not affect mail delivery <br />since the mail sorting* machines sort by zip code. If the machine <br />for some reason cannot read the zip code the machine reads the <br />city. When it reads the city, it sends the mail to the lowest <br />zip code serving the city. The lowest zip code serving Orono is <br />the Crystal Bay Post Office. If the city selected the Long Lake <br />Post Office a small percent of the city's mail could be delivered <br />to the Crystal Bay Post Office. <br />The analysis of the two alternatives points to the Long Lake Post <br />Office as the preferred alternative from an operational <br />standpoint. The additional factor in the decision process is the <br />concern for the future viability of the Crystal Bay Post Office. <br />Staff has been working with the Postal Service to develop a five <br />year lease based on providing improvements to the post office <br />parking area. Staff has not had discussions with the Postal <br />Service rega*'ding plans beyond the fi re year period.
