Berger announced that both Gary Jones, Chairman of the Citizen Study Committee, and New Brighton's Fire Chief, Al Bauer, were present to answer any questions, Jones had nothing further to add to the staff report. I Harcus stated that a large number of persons responded affirma- tively to having their street name chanqed and he felt that the negative responses reflect the citizens' desire not to have the name changed to the survey's example (14th Street Terrace N.W.). Harcus indicated the post office said that most people will have their addresses changed within six months, but that the Post Office will continue to deliver mail to the old addresses for as long as perhaps fourteen months. Harcus also indicated that driver's licenses, by state law, are not required to be changed when a street name has been changed. Blomquist expressed pleasure with the report, the work the Citizen Study Committee did, and the survey data collected. Asked for the difference of "Street Terrace" versus "Terrace" only. Jones advised the council that the survey stated "Street Terrace" indicating that Street was added per city staff's request as it gives an east-west indication. Jones indicated that the response warranted dropping "Street" and using only "Terrace" because "Street Terrace" was too long and cumbersome. Jones noted that the only time "Terrace" is currently being used in New Brighton is on east/west streets. Blomquist asked for confirmation that the changes would be con- sistent with the existing "Terraces" and Jones so confirmed. I Schmidt was impressed with the number of persons who responded to the survey and can appreciate prOblems residents are having with the i r ma il , Benke asked about changing addresses on checks and felt the city could lower the impact on the citizens if it could advise them what needs to be done, per page two of comments of staff report, Page Seven City Ha 11 Renovation/ Expansion Renam.ing "A" Streets Report 85-190
