I suggest that all the Des Moines park facilities that are staffed daily (senior center, field house. etc.) receive outgoing mail from citizens (mailing checks, etc.) who thus save time and gas and environment from not having to drive to the post office. Good will gesture.

Rationale:

1. Less travel time and road construction ($.50/per mile)

2. Not much added effort for appreciated helpful service to community. Also this may bring new people to the field house who may enroll in offerings thus bringing new revenues.

3. Further proof that the Des Moines Parks Department is trying to help all its citizens

4. Redondo Fred Meyer has a drop box which is very much appreciated
