Value P restig e 911 Service 38% increase questioned C o m m issio n e r M a rg a re t D, Strachan, in a letter to State Public C om m issioner Gene M a u d lin , has expressed concern re g a rd in g the filin g o f a ta r if f by P a cific N o rth west Bell that w ill affect 911 service. The City o f P ortland's Bureau o f E m e rg e n c y C o m m u n ic a t io n s currently receives and routes more than 650,000 911 calls fo r fire , p o lice and em ergency m edical dispatch. Strachan said her concerns cover the financial impact o f the proposed ta n tf on public agencies, Ihe linking o f 911 to measured business service, the lim ita tio n o f lia b ility assumed by PNB, and the absence o f public hearings on an issue o f statew ide importance. Ih e proposed new ta r iff is linked to measured service p ric in g , on which M audlin has recently declared a i ne-year im p le m e n ta tio n delay. A t present, o p tio n a l measured ser vice is available. In fo rm a tio n fro m PNB indicates th a t under the new ta r iff, the cost o f 9 1 1 basic service could increase by as much as 38 The a ctu a l a m o u n t o f increase w o u ld depend u pon w hether 911 agencies elect to u tiliz e measured service.
