3. Dave Puegh, Community Committee Chairperson, introduced community members
and U.S. Postal Service representatives.
Keith Lashier, Denver Postal Facilities Manager, initiated discussion. He stated
that McCall had been selected for a new facility by the Postal Service based on a
review of the space constraints currently existing at the present facility. He
commented that the Postal Service wanted to provide a new facility in a scheduled
timeframe and did not take into consideration the amount of community interest to
keep the Post Office in the downtown area. The Postal Service now would like to
ensure that open discussion of the needs of both the community and Post Office
commence.
Dave Puegh then outlined the process to be undertaken to come to an agreement.
The process steps are: 1) Provide the Postal Service with growth projections
2) The Postal Service then to calculate needed
requirements - land, space, etc
3) Together McCall and the Postal Service then review
`needs and wants'
4) Together McCall and the Postal Service brainstorm
plans and determine any modifications to requirements
5) Together McCall and the Postal Service quantify
requirements
6) Together McCall and the Postal Service review
available locations
Discussion of concerns and issued followed.
Meetings will be held over the future months during the process steps. The
meetings will be noticed and open to the public. To ensure the timeline is met, a
strong recommendation was made by Mayor Killen that only an allotted amount
of time would be set aside at the meetings for public comment.
An agreement needs to be reached by September 17, 1997, in order to ensure
project funding by the Postal Service.
