Kreienbrink, Postmaster <br /> Minneapolis, Minnesota 55410 <br /> Dear Mr. Kreienbrink: <br /> The City Council of the City of Orono has recently reviewed <br /> the Crystal Bay Post Office operation keeping in mind the <br /> discussion we had earlier with you and your staff concerning <br /> the consolidation of postal delivery service for the entire <br /> City of Orono allowing the Wayzata, Excelsior, Mound, Maple <br /> Plain, and Long Lake rural deliveries to be housed in one <br /> post office , which would create an Orono delivery address <br /> using one common zip code. It has been indicated by your <br /> most recent letter, that consolidation of these routes would <br /> be impossible and could not be cost justified, the conclusion <br /> being that the present lock box customers should convert to a <br /> rural delivery service. <br /> It is the City's contention that now is the time to intensify <br /> our position that the City of Orono is long overdue in receiving <br /> its mail through one post office using one zip code, which will <br /> enable the City of Orono to� receive its mail from one common - <br /> carrier rather than the duplication that has resulted in using <br /> M five different post office buildings at the present time. <br /> The cost effectiveness of consolidating the present rural routes <br /> appears to be in the public' s interest and could certainly be <br /> rationalized as a long-range planning goal. <br /> The City is willing to allocate additional time to pursue this <br /> goal and we will be available, at your convenience, to discuss <br /> this matter further. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> _��;i ���. • , ' : <br /> .. ; <br /> Walter R. Benson � ' � <br /> City Administrator <br /> cc: Senator George S. Pillsbury <br /> Representative Robert L. Searles <br />
