Summary: On September 2, 1997, Charles Wright, Director of Management Information Services for Stanislaus County, Met with Cmmr. Conlon, in San Francisco. Also present were: Jose Jimenez, advisor to Cmmr. Conlon; David Roth, Communications Director for Medic Alert; and Martin Mattes, counsel for North Valley Parties. No written materials were used. Wright stated the need of Medic Alert to maintain a 209 number for the benefit of three million persons worldwide who depend on that number for access to personal medical information in the event of an emergency. Wright stated that no alternative means of permitting Medic Alert to retain its 209 number, such as remote call forwarding, would provide assurance that emergency calls to that number would be completed. Roth stated that an 800 number would not be a viable substitute because toll-free use of 800 numbers is not available for most international calls. Mattes stated that there was no controversy regarding the need for action to address number exhaust in the 209 NPA or regarding the appropriate boundary to be drawn for an area code split. Mattes also stated two other factors supporting retention of the 209 area code for the northern region, other than for the benefit if Medic Alert: 1) the high volume of communications, commerce, and commuting between that region and the neighboring San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, and 2) the high volume of interstate and international communications with the San Joaquin Depot of the Defense Logistics Agency.

Conlon, in San Francisco. Also present were: Jose Jimenez, advisor to Cmmr. Conlon; David Roth, Communications Director for Medic Alert; and Martin Mattes, counsel for North Valley Parties. No written materials were used. Wright stated the need of Medic Alert to maintain a 209 number for the benefit of three million persons worldwide who depend on that number for access to personal medical information in the event of an emergency. Wright stated that no alternative means of permitting Medic Alert to retain its 209 number, such as remote call forwarding, would provide assurance that emergency calls to that number would be completed. Roth stated that an 800 number would not be a viable substitute because toll-free use of 800 numbers is not available for most international calls. Mattes stated that there was no controversy regarding the need for action to address number exhaust in the 209 NPA or regarding the appropriate boundary to be drawn for an area code split. Mattes also stated two other factors supporting retention of the 209 area code for the northern region, other than for the benefit if Medic Alert: 1) the high volume of communications, commerce, and commuting between that region and the neighboring San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, and 2) the high volume of interstate and international communications with the San Joaquin Depot of the Defense Logistics Agency.
