AN ORDINANCE ADDING A NEW AUBURN CITY CODE CHAPTER 8.50
3 ENTITLED "ENHANCED 911 (E-911) TELEPHONE SYSTEM" to TITLE 8
ENTITLED "HEALTH AND SAFETY" ESTABLISHING A TELEPHONE SYSTEM
4 FOR AUTOMATIC NUMBER AND LOCATION INFORMATION.

WHEREAS, the Enhanced 911 Telephone System, hereinafter
referred to as "E-911", has proven its lifesaving benefits to
9
the citizens of Auburn because it allows the operator
answering an emergency call (the Public Safety Answering
Point) to automatically locate the caller; and
WHEREAS,
in some cases these callers cannot be
automatically located because their calls are made from
telephones attached to private branch exchanges (PBX systems),
Centron/Centrex Exchanges (CTX systems) or similar equipment
systems; and
WHEREAS, the proliferation of such PBX/CTX systems is
increasing, (one estimate provided to the City is that in
1988, King County had only 300 units served by PBX's, but in
December 1989 there were over 3,000) and the reason for this
is the significant economic advantages for developers; and
WHEREAS, the effectiveness of the E-91.1 system is
compromised by the use of PBXs and CTXs because a PBX/CTX user
calling 911 will only have displayed the location and phone
number identification of the PBX/CTX system to the Public
Safety Answering Point, and not that of the caller; and

WHEREAS, this problem can be life-threatening when the
caller is unable to identify his or her exact location and the
emergency operator cannot automatically locate the caller
7
because the PBX/CTX system is not at the same location as the
8
caller; and
WHEREAS, an additional problem exists in that some phone
systems are sold without selective routing which may mean that
a call placed to 911 within the city of Auburn would not be
routed to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point; and
9
WHEREAS, the proliferation of these PBX/CTX systems is
continually increasing and thereby jeopardizing the health and
safety of an increasing number of citizens; and
WHEREAS, City of Auburn citizens who are serviced by
PBX/CTX telephone systems may be denied the most important
benefit of the E-911 telephone system, which is the automatic
number and location information, and may have the erroneous
belief that this service is provided to them; and
WHEREAS, telephone products have been developed which can
be attached to PBX/CTX telephone systems and whi.ch will allow
a PBX/CTX system to properly interface with the E-911 system
(meaning that the installation of these interface products
make the automatic number and location information feature

of the citizens of Auburn that all citizens have a telephone
