Depart;nenN,Approval: yAA Manager Approved; Date: 8/11/2003 Item No: Ix. A. Agenda Section: Organizational Business Item Description; Discussion on Changing the City "s Telephone Numbering Flan Background The City of Roseville conducts operations 'in multiple facilities throughout the city. Some of these facilities include; City Fall, Public works, Skating Center, Fire Stations, Golf Course, etc. The use of these facilities evolved over an extended period of time, requiring the City to add communication systems, including telephone numbering plans somewhat independent of each other. It was necessary to select telephone numbers that were available at the time from the local phone service provider (west). As a result the City has a hodge -podge of number plans across five different prefixes. The following numbering plans are currently in effect, all are in the 651 area code; F acilit Prefix City Hall, Public warps, Fire Station #1 490 License Center, emergency #'s, various fax #'s 484 Skating Center, Golf Course, Activity Center, Nature Center 415 Various fax #'s 628 Various fax #'s 765 Although functional, the presence of multiple prefixes can create confusion with residents and customers. In addition, the lack of contiguous numbers does not allow for easy-to-remember identifiers such as; xxx -ROSE, xxx -RVPD, or xxx -R FD. In preliminary discussions with Qwest, Staff has learned that the telephone numbering sequence of ; 651- 792 -7xxx' is currently available with the necessary contiguous numbers. Other prefix piss abilities are available but with less contiguous numbers. Staff will continue to pursue other options in the next few weeks.
