route carriers: and
WHEREAS, the City spent significant time and effort to
insure that citizens of our community were fully informed of the
choice of postal services before them including the effects of a
potential change: and
WHEREAS, the postal patrons surveyed overwhelmingly supported
changing their postal address to Chanhassen: and
WHEREAS, included within the group supporting a change in postal
address are several businesses having high customer and public
involvement, i.e. Halla Nursery and university of Minnesota
Arboretum - all of whom strongly support a change in their postal
address from Chaska to Chanhassen: and
WHEREAS, the City of Chanhassen and it's citizens were led to
believe that the change proposed by our city and our citizens was
supported by the postal service: and
WHEREAS, again, the overwhelming position of our citizens
currently being served by Chaska postal service to change to a
Chanhassen address and several of our businesses and residents,
