County Administrator

DATE: May 28, 1987 County
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Assembly Bill 320 (Moore)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION[S.) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 320 by Assemblywoman Gwen
Moore which requires telephone companies which cannot currently
provide enhanced "911" service to present the Department of
General Services with a comprehensive plan for how and when they
will be able to provide such enhanced service and would require
that the Department of General Services not delay implementing
the enhanced system in those portions of cities or counties
served by a telephone company that is able to provide the
enhanced level of service.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law requires the establishment of an operational basic
local emergency telephone system by every local public agency by
December 31, 1985. Currently, the State Department of General
Services is implementing an enhanced level of "911" emergency
service, including selective routing, automatic number
identification or automatic location identification on a
selective basis, based on population density. As a result, less
populous areas of the state are denied this enhanced level of
service, even though the local telephone ' company has the
capability of implementing the enhanced level of service.
AB 320 would require that telephone companies unable to provide
the enhanced level of "911" service submit a plan for providing
such enhanced service. AB 320 would also require the Department
of General Services to not delay implementing the enhanced system
in areas where the telephone company has the capability of
providing the enhanced level of service.
Since the enhanced level of "911" service is probably more vital
in less densely populated areas of the state it seems appropriate
that its implementation not be delayed where the telephone
company has the capability of implementing the enhanced level of
"911" emergency service.
