WHEREAS, the telecommunications industry is projected to exhaust the existing

Utilities Commission is proposing two alternatives to split the current area code or, as a third
alternative, to apply an overlay to the entire existing area code; and

there were a required change of the 805 Area Code as well as a negative financial impact on
local businesses, including the City; and

805 Area Code for Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties with Ventura County to receive
a new area code; and
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Atascadero, California, that a Resolution be issued supporting Alternative #lA of the
California Public Utilities Commission proposal for the split of the existing 805 Area Code.
