� 0.f ' . <br /> Page 24 <br /> The Honorable Walter Mondale <br /> April 23 , 1980 <br /> Page 2 <br /> . - y - <br /> The City of Orono is presently s�rved by five post �offices which <br /> provide rural deliveries to our residents, and two additional <br /> post offices that provide only lock box service. The post offices <br /> serving us are : �ti'ayzata, Excelsior, r7ound, r✓aple Plain, Long <br /> Lake, tiavarre , and Crystal Bay. � <br /> � For ;nany years , the long-range plan of the City of Orono has been <br /> to encourage consolidation of all of the present rural deliveries <br /> and allow them to function out of one postal building. <br /> The City of Orono does not have its own address system to allow <br /> residents to identify themselves with the City they reside in. <br /> It would appear that consolidating the present system, allowing <br /> the existing routes to be administered from one existing post <br /> office, would acc�mplish what is desired, and that is to establish <br /> a City of Orono address system using one common zip code that is <br /> now being used by one of the post offices now serving our area. <br /> The cost effectiveness of consolidating the present system, while <br /> establishing a long awaited City of Orono address for our residents , <br /> appears to be in the public' s interest and would ultimately simplify <br /> the extremely complicated system now in effect. <br /> Since the regulations controlling the merger of a post office <br /> operation with another are based upon Federal law, the City Council <br /> and its residents are respectfully requesting your assistance in <br /> this matter. <br /> Thanking you in advance for your cooperation in this matter, I am _ <br /> Sincerely, <br /> C�C/. , %, J <br /> � <br /> Walt .�Benson <br /> Cit Administrator ' <br /> WRB/as <br />
