Our Mistioi}: To work together to reipoiibly grew our comma nityr, and to provide quality, cent-oliBcdwe, and efficient government services. <br />CC Regular Session 5. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 01/28/2020 <br />By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Receive Update on Meeting with United States Post Office Regarding Ramsey ZIP Code Please Note: This case <br />was moved to the Regular Agenda as Case 7.5. <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The City Council's Strategic Plan calls for an action item to secure a unique ZIP Code for Ramsey to better <br />establish our identify. Staff (Gladhill, Sullivan, Ulrich) and Councilmember Riley recently met with United States <br />Postal Service (USPS) Staff at the Minneapolis Central Post Office on January 9. <br />While mail sorting and distribution metrics (sectors, scheme items, routes and delivery points) do not warrant a <br />unique ZIP Code currently, it appears that these metrics will warrant a unique ZIP Code in the future. Current <br />forecasts indicate a potential need in 2031. <br />However, Staff shared recent growth estimates and future growth forecasts with USPS Staff. Our forecasts indicate <br />that need could be quicker. The next regular review of the need for a unique ZIP Code would occur in 2026. USPS <br />Staff will continue to evaluate in the interim. <br />Staff will now be providing more real-time address updates of new delivery points as well as providing quarterly <br />growth updates. <br />Recommendation: <br />No action is necessary at this time. This is simply for update purposes. <br />Action: <br />No action is necessary at this time. This is simply for update purposes. <br />Attachments <br />No file(s) attached. <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 01/23/2020 02:17 PM <br />Form Started By: Tim Gladhill Started On: 01/08/2020 09:34 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/30/2020 <br />
