RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA SUPPORTING THE 619 AREA CODE OVERLAY
AND RECOMMENDING SAID OVERLAY TO THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
WHEREAS two years ago the Chula Vista City Council took a position in support of an area
code overlay rather than an area code split for this region; and
WHEREAS the Califomia Public Utilities Commission chose to impose an area code split
in spite of this city's support for an area code overlay; and
WHEREAS the imposition of an 858 area code in certain northern sections of the County of
San Diego has already created a hardship on individuals and businesses alike; and
WHEREAS there are two additional area codes scheduled for implementation in the County
this summer (935 and 442); and
WHEREAS continued assignment of phone numbers in blocks of 10,000 will require the
number of area codes in California to increase from 25 to 41 by the end of 2002; and
WHEREAS assigning phone numbers in blocks of 1,000 will delay an increase in the number
of area codes for the foreseeable future; and
WHEREAS area code splits form divisive barriers among communities, and in this county
will separate the eastern and southern communities from the central business core of the region; and
WHEREAS an area code overlay would be the least impactive option for the residents and
businesses of Chula Vista; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, at its meeting of 2/15/00, instructed staff to prepare a
resolution in support of the 619 Area Code Overlay which is also supported by Pacific Bell.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby support the 619 Area Code Overlay and urges the California Public Utilities Commission to
make every effort to avoid fragmentation of this region.
