Res 00-043 RESOLUTION NO. 00-043
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA OPPOSING ANY
FURTHER AREA CODE SPLIT IN THE SAN DIEGO REGION
WHEREAS, the imposition of the 858 area code has been disruptive to individuals
and businesses alike; and
WHEREAS, there are two additional area codes scheduled for implementation in the
County of San Diego this year, 935 and 442; and
WHEREAS, it has been projected that there are as many as 145 million unused
phone numbers within existing area codes in the state that could alleviate the immediate
need for new area codes; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Communications Commission has maintained outdated
practices that have resulted in unnecessary hardships for consumers and business; and
WHEREAS, options such as technology-based area codes, local number portability
for wireless services, and the immediate release of the stockpile of unused numbers will
dramatically increase the availability of phone numbers preventing any more area code
splits.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the City of Poway, California join
the County of San Diego and the other local governments and the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) to challenge the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to
amend the rules to allow technology-based area codes, local number portability for cell
phones (wireless), and immediately release the enormous stockpile of unused numbers
within existing area codes.
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the City of Poway adamantly opposes the
implementation of any new area codes within the San Diego County region.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED, by the City Council of the City of Poway,
California at a regular meeting thereof on the 9th day of May, 2000.
