Re: Post Office Carrier Annex Progress Report
I have communicated with Mike Scheck of the U.S. Postal Service, who is in charge of the
development of the proposed carrier annex to be located in the Kern Center. Mr. Scheck informed
me that while the design process for the facility is underway, funds had not yet been secured for
the construction of the carrier annex. Mr. Scheck informed me of the Postal Services desire for the
road construction project at the Kern Center along 55 Street to be extended to the west to
accommodate their proposed facility.
As staff has received no plans for the property and there is no purchase agreement for the
property, I have asked Mr. Scheck to provide these to the City with a written request for the
extension of the project. As the City has no ability to assess the property to the south of 55 for the
benefits of this improvement, Mark vierling has advised that the entire cost for any road extension
for the Post office must be deposited in advance.
I have spoken with Steve Muyskens of the Postal Service regarding our letter of response. He
apologized that the Postal Service has not responded to our letter and will work to expedite their
response.
Please contact me with any questions you may have.
