Muskego Chamber of Commerce
The Muskego Chamber of Commerce was represented by members of the
• organization to discuss the problems they felt were incurred by
having two different zip codes in the city. They are 53150 for
Muskego and 53130 for Hales Corners.
Mr. Jim Haag explained some of the problems that the two zip codes
presented. Some of the problems brought up were discussed such as
new people moving in, that it sometimes created a mixup for them,
sending out mailings that addresses had to be looked up and that
the post offices no longer forward mail with the incorrect address
and that it _als o doesn't provide as good community relations with
the two zip codes.
It was stated also that approximately 1,408, or one-third, of the
deliveries are made to the Hales Corners zip code with the balance
being under the Muskego's zip code.
Considerable discussion was held on how to gain support and inform
residents on benefits that would be had under one zip code for the
whole city. Suggestions sxch as publicity in the newspaper and
information articles circulated throughout the community were
made.
Mr. Fifer stated that in the long run it should develop a more
"total community feeling among all residents within the city."
The committee suggested to the Chamber to give a review of their
• proposal at a Common Council meeting and to inform all how they wish
to proceed in having the change made. The chamber will contact the
Mayor's office on the matter.
Solid Waste Svstems
Ald. Penovich advised he had received information concerning solid
waste systems and will discuss the matter at the next meeting of the
committee.
The meeting adjourned at 8:20 P.M.
