Having talked with Mr. Myers, Postmaster at Casselberry, he tells me that the Winter Springs area will be served by the Maitland Post Office. This is not acceptable to the Village as we desire to have one post office serve the entire area within the boundaries of the Village of North Orlando. I am enclosing a graph of the population growth of North Orlando for the next five years compiled from the latest market reports. This graph is based on lowest estimates, not the high or middle.

August 7, 1980 The Honorable Lawton Chiles United States Senate 437 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, D. C. 20510 Dear Senator Chiles: I would like to bring to your attention the current bureaucratic{ actions of the United States Postal service, and in particular, that o the postmaster of Casselberry, Florida, Mr. Robert Kelly. Prior to July 1, 1980, the City of Winter Springs had no ZIP code and mail was delivered from two post offices, Maitland and Casselberry, using theO ZIP codes 32751 and 32707, respectively. On July 1, 1980 the entire area of the City of Winter Springs 4, given ZIP code 32708 and a contract post offices was established on St4te Road 434 near the center of the city business district. At the same to, all residents of the area formerl y served b Y Maitland were told to use: Casselberry ' as their address while th , e e residents of the remainder eg o the city were merely told to change their ZIP code. People residing t that western part of the city had habitually used "Winter Springs" wit( the 32707 ZIP code and had no difficulty in receiving their mail. Phel, majority are still using the Winter Springs addxoss but with the ne•-r 3 .703. This ' includes the city hall and other then city offices. , Numerous attempts to get Mr. Kelly and other postal officials t admit there is a city of Winter Springs with its own ZIP code have bee fruitless. All insist that Casselberry is the correct and only legal address. It has even gone so der as to have Mr. Kelly insist we cheng$ a street name which happens to be similar to one in Casselberry on the',', theory that both streets are in the same city, when obviously they are not and do not have the same ZIP code. Additionally, he requires bulk: mail to show Casselberry and has told residents if they do not change '.' their magazine address to Casselberry they will have to pay forwarding postage after one year. Ii 1 The Honorable Lawton Chiles. Au ;ust 7, 1980 Page Senator, this has gone a little too far for me to take lightly. Winter Springs covers the largest land area in Seminole County and its, population is estimated by the 1980 census preliminary figures to be over 10,000. It has its own area ZIP code and a contract post office. Why can not it be allowed to use its own name on mail destined for its residents? Can the U. S. Postal e:orvice be allowed to continue its dictatorial bureaucratic practices and deny us our city name in our address? I hope that you will look into this intolerable situation. l:itki thanks, I am Sincerely yours, 1 .ilfred ''Hap" Arnold, Jr.( Councilman and Deputy Nayler Ii mtn • • • • • 1 1 LAWTON CHILES mvvmeea.

I know how frustrating and bureaucratic these agencies can be and appreciate your bringing this matter to my attention. You will be interested to know I am today contacting Sectional Postmaster L. A. Bryant on your behalf, and asking for a thorough review of this situation. Further- more, I have requested that I receive a written report. I know how important having a sense of identity is to the residents of a community and you can be sure as soon as I complete my inquiry, I will be back in touch with j you. In the interim, Hap, if I can be of assistance in some other way, please let me know.

Realignment of the delivery area which encompasses the City of Winter Springs was accomplished to provide proper delivery of mail to all residents within the affected area. The ZIP Code "32708" was assigned to this realigned area, not just to the City of Winter Springs, and the ZIP Code area was designated as an area of Casselberry, Florida. All residents using this ZIP Code would therefore be required to use Casselberry as their city of address. Mail addressed to Winter Springs could become undeliverable because it is not a proper address for mail delivery. Mr. Kelly, the Postmaster of Casselberry, is correct on his insistence in the use of Casselberry and the ZIP Code 32708 as the proper address on all mailings sent by the residents in the new 32708 area. We have many instances of incorporated cities being within the delivery area of another city. Belle Isle, for example, is within the delivery area of Orlando and the residents of Belle Isle utilize Orlando, Florida 32809, as their mail delivery address. We appreciate the fact that many of the residents of the City of Winter Springs desire to be identified with that city but it is necessary to exercise controls over the use of addresses to aid in the proper processing and delivery of mail. We trust that this information will assist you in responding to your constituents. Sincerely, l L. A. : JrLC.0 Postmas - LAWTON CHILES FLORIDA AOVRIATIIoNS me®.

LAKELAND, FLORIDA 93801 Oct.31 ,1930 Editor sentinel Star P.O.Box 2833 ' Orlando,Fla 32802 Sir: In Re: U.S.Postal Service vs City of Winter Springs,Fla. It is bad enough when a City of over 10,000 population,with its own City Council,Police Dept,Fire Dept,School,etc. is ignored by the U.S.Postal Service and denied not only its own Post Office but even the right to have residents' mail addressed to their own. City rather than to another municipality like Caeselberry it is adding insult to injury when the new Contract Station on Rt 434 is unable to provide even the most elementary postal information. Example : the writer brought there an envelope to go airmail to an overseaidestination and asked how much postage it would require. Dialogue that ensued went like this : Clerk- Sorry,sir, but we don't take (sic) overseas mail here. Patron- What do you mean, you don't take overseas mail? I don't want you to take it; I am perfectly capable of dropping it myself in the mail box right here. All I want to know is how much postage it will need. Clerk- Sorry, but we don't have this information here.You will have to go to Casselberry (sic) . Patron- Oh,forget it; just give me a 310 airmail and I'll chance it that, it will be enough. Clerk- Sorry, but we don't have a 310 stamp. Patron - Don't you think that two 150 and one One-cent stamp might be an acceptable substitute? And for this we pay taxes to the U.S.Government,the State of Florida the County ,of Seminole and the City of Winter Springs? Sincerely, G.A.Laval 502 Shane Circle' -.

First, I would like to offer my personal congratulations on your well-deserved and decisive victory, and second, I would like to ask your assistance in solving a problem that concerns the citizens of Winter Springs. As to the first, it is apparent from your victory that the people are ready for a change, and as to the second, a change in the attitude of the postal bureaucracy would be of great benefit to the over 10,000 citizens of Winter Springs. The attached correspondence with Senator Chiles and the reply of the Regional Postmaster for the Orlando Region, plus the resolution passed by the City Council on September 30, 1980 should give you the background of our attempts to get what we think would be the proper solution to our problem, namely authority to use our City as part of our address. Needless to say, we have not achieved that solution as of now. The absurdity of having to address official business of the City to the City of Casselberry is mind-boggling to say the least, and the in- consistency of using different addresses in different parts of the City is readily apparent. I would certainly appreciate your attempts to settle this, and I am sure I speak not only as an individual but also as a representative of all our citizens. We aren't asking for a large expenditure of Federal or other funds for a building, all we want is to be able to address our mail to WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA 327082 Surely, this can not be considered an unreasonable request.

Robert Kelly Postmaster I read today of your complaint to Mr Torcaso that the residents of acienda Village were not using the right address, and I feel that your complaint is unjustified. As of the above date I had not been officially notified in writing that my address was changed. When we arrived from Pennsylvania in October the lad that cuts my grass remarked that we now had a new address, so checked with the nail man, he was right we did. We are still being hassled by magizine publishers that we are not giving then the address given by the postal department, the location of with we have not found out yet. I had called the telephone company in Jacksonville on another matter and informed them that our address was Winter Springs and she informed me that I was wrong it was Casselberry 327,08 and they would continue to use that. I did not check he last bill as I had done my part. There is no way that I can control bulk mailings to me fra^i nail lists that I did not authorize and do not intend to clutter the mail infortiing them that they bought and used an outof date list. I have a complaint that I might as well air, when we returned to Pennsylvania in June and signed a forwarding card, it was six weeks two letters, two telephone calls, and tees dollars for a bundle of first cuss letters and bills. The card was filled out and signed at the post office. While I an at it I think it was asinine to change carriers the week before Christmas, with all the forwarded mail and at least two addresses being used on mail. It would be enough to give a kid ulcers, and nightmares. I would like to commend him for the excellent way he endured it with composure as I overheard some nasty remarks from some of the people. For some of then I suppose it is the only tie to the outside world and was upsetting, he should forgive them,..

We are the largest tinwland area and only fourth in population of the seven cities in the County. City in Seminole County without a post office. Residents of the Tuscawilla area have to drive either S. R. 419 which is only two Post Officet,ea distance of n roughly eight doru ten amiles. Residents ton this esi Casselberry de of the City have to travel S. R. 434 and U. S. 17-92 to the CasselberrY Post Office or a distance of approximately five miles in one of the most congested traffic areas in Central Florida. Several years ago the City was given the zip code 32708; however, some residents still use Casselberry and there is still some confusion there. We have a small sub-station on S. R. 434 that serves us presently, but it is small and is not a full service post office. There are approximately 441 families living in Hacienda Village, a mobile home park in the City. About 90% of those residents are over the age of 60. Due to the limited services offered by the sub-station, they do have to travel to the CasselberrY Post Office which is a very difficult place to get in and out of especially for the elderly. Many telephone bills still have the Casselberry address. I am enclosing several newspaper clippings, etc. relating to this problem.r for We would most certainly appreciate your assistance in obtaining a p ost office our City.

It is my understanding that a post office will not be granted Winter Springs until 1987 at the earliest under present priorities. I would therefore like to proceed with whatever steps need be taken in order that this matter be expedited and the projected date for a post office in Winter Springs be moved up much closer to the present. There are presently 13, 808 persons residing in the city of Winter Springs. This figure represents a significantly greater population than many of the cities in the area that already have postal facilities. Winter Springs residents are living in one of the fastest growing areas of Seminole County and Central Florida. Population growth forecasts for the city of Winter Springs over the next four years further supports the necessity of this request.

Having received the enclosed response, I am forwarding this information on to you for your review. This letter describes in some detail general postal policy regarding its standing service in high-growth areas. Evidently, the establishment of an independent Post Office is considered only when it is no longer possible to provide service through present facilities or through a station or branch of an existing Post Office. As was mentioned in correspondence forwarded to you earlier from Orlando Sectional Center Facility Postmaster Sheehan, a study is presently underway to determine the size and needs of the Winter Springs branch Post Office. It is anticipated that new facilities will be completed some time in mid-1988 , or, if all goes well , 1987.

Hoffmann, Commissioner , City of Winter Springs, concerning the need for a post office in Winter Springs. Continued growth of suburban communities occasionally results in a need for additional facilities. Our managers evaluate the needs of service areas within their jurisdiction and recommend locations where additions should be considered. Community growth in itself is not sufficient cause to establish an independent post office. We generally expand existing service to accommodate growth. The establishment of an independent post office is considered only when it is not possible to fulfill the service requirements of a given area through present postal facilities or by creation of a station or branch of an existing post office. Post offices are not established for the primary purpose of providing community identity or to conform delivery areas to corporate boundaries. Postal officials at Orlando advise that city delivery service is provided Winter Springs by the Casselberry Post Office. In addition, retail and post office box service is provided the community by the Winter Springs Contract Station located in that community. It has been determined that services provided presently meet community needs. However , our field managers are monitoring the growth in Winter Springs and will keep this under review. If it is determined that additional facilities are needed in order to provide good, efficient postal service to our cus- tomers, appropriate action will be taken as soon as possible. -2- Commissioner Hoffmann expressed concern that many times mail is delivered to residents after 5:00 p.m. Carrier delivery routes are established to provide the most efficient delivery pattern possible. In designing these routes, it is inevitable that some customers will receive earlier mail service than others. Customers should normally receive mail by 3:00 p.m. It is our understanding routes were recently adjusted and customers should see a noticeable change in the time of their delivery. However, there may be occasions when unscheduled employee absences, inordinate mail volumes, and other factors may result in later delivery times. Nevertheless, customers may be assured that every effort will be made to effect delivery as early as possible. Whenever I may again be of assistance, please let me know.

Sincerely, CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS John V. Tottaso, \vMayor I � JVT/mn ee A . e �? Y € ;74 " ' 7 �u�- Suddenly and without consultation or even the courtesy of prior advice, Winter Springs has been deprived of the only U.S. Postal facility in our City. Our contract station is being relocated to a site remote from the majority of our citizens and, in fact, barely within the boundaries of the 32708 zip code area it is to serve. Although the 32708 area covers Winter Springs' entire 12 square miles plus the surrounding unincorporated County area, the new location for a postal facility is not even within our City limits, much less convenient to our 18,000 citizens. Yet it is still designated the "Winter Springs contract postal unit" by Postmaster Kelly. Our City acquired this contract post office only after lengthy and diligent efforts by many of our officials. Up until a few years ago, Winter Springs remained anonymous as far as the postal service was concerned. Our residents were required to use the address of Casselberry 32707. We were pleased when we were given our own zip code and were allowed to identify ourselves as Winter Springs 32708. After continued requests by myself and some of you as well, the Postal Service established a contract post office in Winter Springs' main commercial area. This saved most of our citizens a long drive to a post office in a neighboring city for even routine matters like buying stamps, mailing packages, picking up certified mail, or renting a box. We thought promises of a full—fledged post office in Winter Springs by 1985 or 1986 would successfully culminate in our City's gaining equality with adjacent cities of lesser size and smaller population which have long had complete postal facilities. To move our contract station now to such a distance is unacceptable. If the lease at the current SR 434 location is not feasible to renew, there are many alternative commercial sites from which to choose within our immediate area to better serve our residents. It is particularly frustrating that I cannot even discuss this issue with Postmaster Kelly since the timing of the scheduled move of our contract station is during his six—week absence on vacation. I appreciate any assistance your office may be in preventing this disservice and in enlisting the Postal Service's cooperation to consult with Winter Springs officials and to exert an effort to find a location in our City for a contract station to continue here the postal services our citizens rightfully deserve at a reasonable location.

The urgent need for a post office in our City is more than the overcrowding at the Casselberry Post Office that serves our City. At present Winter Springs has 17,000 residents. By 1988 that figure will be 25,000 based on continuous rapid growth. Our citizens must travel as much as 20 minutes to their nearest full-service full-time post office. Many times our mail is delivered after 5:00 p. m. The installation of a post office will be a most visible structure showing what the Federal Government is doing for Winter Springs. A long delay will therefore be a negative indicator. In a few months we are moving into a new city hall to accommodate our growing needs. There are many appropriate commercial properties for a post office. However, as our City is growing rapidly, these may not be available if a selection is delayed, or at best, the costs will be much higher than now. Through your efforts and that of Postmaster Sheehan we encourage you to accelerate the selection, construction and implementation of a Winter Springs Post Office for 1986. You will have the full-cooperation of Mayor Torcaso and our City Commission for any assistance we can offer. Sincerely, CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS /�f��'' C UL(2CGr/ / • 171 ,1 Arthur H.

Lawton Chiles , D-F1 . , was notified by Charles Jacobsen, acting manager of sales and services for the Orlando Sectional Center , that bids will be taken for a contract post office in close proximity to the Moss Road-SR434 intersection. Chiles had asked for a review of the decision that replaced the established Winter Springs postal facility with one at the corner of Red Bug Road and Tuskawilla Road, outside the city limits. Mayor John Torcaso, in asking the senator for assistance recently, had pointed out the new location was remote from most of the city' s 18 ,000 residents and therefore inconvenient. The postal service intends to continue the Red Bug-Tuskawilla post office to serve that fast-growing area of the county . Jacobsen indicated it would require at least two months to get the new Winter Springs post office open. Bid notice must be posted for 21 days , then bids evaluated and contracts completed.

This request was not as you pointed out based on political boundaries, but on the needs of the residents of this City. Your statement (Quote) "that many people living in South Seminole County don't know or don't care where they live (be it County or City)" seems offensive to me and should be to those residents. I did not realize (Quote) that local egos" are the only reason for elected officials to try and do something for their people. I was elected to serve the residents of this City and one of their priorities is a post office. With the help of people like Charlie Jacobson (Postal Service) and Senator Chiles, this might be possible in the near future.

The correspondence you received from Mr. William W. Bergen (Acting Representative) is very misleading in regards to what, where or when a post office will be built in Winter Springs. In my office a couple of months ago, Mr. Bob Kelley and Mr. Charles Jacobson of the Postal Division at the Orlando Airport, discussed the forthcoming building of a post office in Winter Springs. We discussed this for an hour or so. Mr. Jacobson said that a post office site in Winter Springs area would be selected sometime this year — 1986, and possibly be built in 1987. Our City Planner gave an updated map of our area to Mr. Kelley. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Jacobson gave us an approximate detail of what the new post office would be like and that the postal realty personnel would be looking at certain sites in Winter Springs and after deciding on a location, would go out for bids. They would also decide whether to buy or lease. Senator, I am not dreaming of these projects; your office knows that I have been fighting for a full service post office at least eight years now and someone is confusing the issue. I do now know what is going on except that the Postal Department is acutely aware of my feelings in the matter, and I intend to pursue this quest which our residents deserve.

Torcaso, Mayor of Winter Springs, concerning plans for a post office at Winter Springs. Postal services are currently provided to residents of Winter Springs by a contractor-operated Community Post Office (CPO) under the administration of the Casselberry Post Office. Mayor Torcaso has been advised on several previous occasions that there are no present plans to replace the CPO although population growth may justify the establishment of a classi- fied branch (i.e. , postal-operated) at some time in the future. The new facility to which Mayor Torcaso references may be the new building planned for Casselberry. This project is still in the early stages and is not scheduled for completion until 1989 or 1990. It is too early to determine the location of the site or when construction bids might be solicited, since it is necessary to perform facility needs evaluations and retail analyses before this can be done.
