Mills council backs resolution urging a single ZIP code for the town
Summary
The Mills City Council approved Resolution 2026-15 supporting federal bill S4505 to establish a single ZIP code for Mills. Council members asked whether residentspost-office box addresses would change; the clerk said physical boxes would remain the same.
The Mills City Council voted to approve Resolution 2026-15 supporting the enactment of S4505, a federal bill the clerk described as intended to establish a single ZIP code for the community of Mills.
The clerk told the council the resolution is meant to bolster a broader legislative effort by U.S. senators — naming Barrasso and Lummis as co-sponsors — to address ZIP-code anomalies affecting multiple municipalities. "Resolution supporting the enactment of S4505 to establish a single zip code for the community of Mills," the clerk said when introducing the item.
A council member asked whether the change would affect residentswho use post-office boxes near the post office. "You're looking for the post office up there where the boxes are right now. That all stays the same," the council member said after the clerk explained the measure is intended to include municipalities with this issue.
The council approved the resolution by voice vote. The meeting record does not list individual vote tallies for this item.
The resolution is nonbinding support for the federal bill; the clerk framed it as a local endorsement to help advance S4505 at the congressional level. Next steps are dependent on federal action to advance the bill through Congress.
