Re: 310 AREA CODE

The South Bay Cities Association Council of Governments has taken a position opposing the redesignation of the area code for our area. The attached resolution spells out the reasons why this change would be a burden on our communities.

I would urge the City Council to adopt the resolution and direct staff to forward it to the appropriate agencies.
