Although this is a positive step for Ramsey, the need for an <br />independent zip code still exists. The purpose of this tactic is to pursue an <br />independent zip code for our community. <br />Process: <br />1. Meet USPS minimum standards for obtaining a new zipcode (delivery <br />points, deliver routes, scheme items, sectors). The City needs to submit a <br />request for an audit. <br />2. USPS audit made —Ramsey either meets minimum thresholds or not. If <br />they do, move on to step 3. <br />3. USPS conducts a survey of community to gather feedback/ support for a <br />new zip code. <br />4. USPS grants Ramsey a new zip code. <br />
