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.
" I do not believe that 911 service
should be s tru c tu re d a ro u n d the
assum ption that measured service
w ill be a p p ro ve d in its present
f o r m , " S trachan sa id . T here has
been
w idespread
o p p o s itio n
th ro u g h o u t the State to its im ­
plem entation, and in fact, the PUC
C om m issioner has recommended a
one year delay.”
S trachan urged C o m m is s io n e r
M a u d lin to delay any fu r th e r ac­
tion on the filin g u n til after public
hearings have been conducted.
