Postage Costs Saved Using Messenger Service<br />
In May 2000, state agency mail delivery service was eliminated in Yakima.<br />
Rather than pay the cost of postage <strong>for</strong> individual items or documents, the Office<br />
of Administrative Hearings (OAH) staff in Yakima arranged <strong>for</strong> a local messenger<br />
service to deliver these documents each day to various governmental agencies<br />
and law firms in the Yakima area. Using the messenger service has proven very<br />
dependable and has resulted in net savings of at least $85 per month. In<br />
addition to the postage, the OAH Yakima staff is saving envelopes and clerical<br />
staff time.<br />
<strong>Results</strong><br />
★ Postage cost savings of $85 per month.<br />
★ Reduced usage of envelopes.<br />
★ Reduced clerical staff time in processing mailings.<br />
★ Quicker delivery of documents to customers.<br />
