Norman and Mabel Zimmer <br />also sent an email addressed to the entire Council regarding this matter. <br /> <br />They cited a concern for their personal safety to cross the busy County Road 33 to get their mail. The U.S. Post <br />Office allegedly would allow their mailbox on their side if located on their driveway loop. They are not <br />comfortable with it being located within their yard. They understand the Post Office may need to adjust their <br />routes but stated that times have changed, and traffic has dramatically increased. <br /> <br />They requested the Council send a letter to the Postmaster showing the city’s support of their concerned citizens. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />The City of Elk River Mission Statement <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Draft letter <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
