Honorable Mayor and Members

P. 0. Box 701
Moorpark, CA 93021
Attention: Marshall Julian, City Manager
Re : Bids - Legal Advertising
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council :
Government Code Section 36933 requires publication
of City ordinances or a summary thereof "in a newspaper of
general circulation published and circulated within the city. "
I have examined a document which I understand was submitted
to the City Clerk by The Mirror with its bid. That document
purports to be a judgment in action No. SP 50709 . Paragraph
2 of that judgment provides that:
"The Simi Valley Mirror is a newspaper of
general circulation, published for the dis-
semination of local news and intelligence
of a general character in the City of Simi
Valley, County of Ventura, California. "
The publication information included in a recent
edition of The Mirror provides :
"The Mirror is published weekly by Daniel J.
Schmidt at 1887 Galt Street, Simi Valley,
California. Telephone : (805) 522-7494 . . . "
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Moorpark
May 29 , 1984

It appears to the undersigned that The Mirror
is not a newspaper of general circulation published and
circulated in the City of Moorpark. I , therefore, recom-
mend that the City Council reject the bid of The Mirror.
I have also been furnished with a copy of an
order declaring The Moorpark News to be a newspaper of
general circulation in case No. SP 49672 . That adjudi-
cation provides :
"It is ordered that Moorpark News is
declared to be a newspaper of general
circulation. "
A recent edition provides the address of The
Moorpark News as follows :
"724-D Moorpark Avenue, P. O. Box 775
Moorpark, CA 93021 -- (805) 523-7440. "
It appears to the undersigned that The Moorpark
News is a newspaper "of general circulation published and
circulated in the city . . . (of Moorpark) . " The City
Council may, therefore, award the bid for legal advertising
for 1984-1985 to The Moorpark News if you are so advised.
I have not reviewed the News Chronicle adjudi-
cation or The Enterprise because neither one is the
apparent low bidder.
Respectfully submitted,
/ Xl4/ty•M//
