r--
We reviewed Government Code Sections 26200-26205.7j, which statues
deal with the right of the Co unty Board of Supervisors to destroy various
county records. These statutes prov ide fa irl y detailed procedures for
the destruction of record s . We note , however , that Government Code
Section 26201 provi'des that the County Board of Supervisors. may at any
t •ime authorize the destruction of any duplicate record , paper or
document , as long as the original or a permanent photographic
reproduction is contained in the county f iles , Although none of these
sections , i ncluding Sect ion 26201, are directly applicable to the Public
utility District, Sect ion 26201 does indicate that it is acceptable for
count •
ies to destroy dupl icates of records as long as an original record
is on file. Since the Public Utility District maintains official written
minutes in its minute bookil the tape-recordings of its meetings could be
likened to duplicate minutes , the destruction of which would be
permissible if Section 26201 were applicable.
We also reviewed the State Records Management Act, Government Code
Sections 14740-14768 . This Act, which does not apply to the District,
provides detailed provisions for the maintenance and eventual destruction
of State records, This Act does not restrict the Public Utility District
in any way.
Government Code Section 6200 makes it a criminal offense for a
public officer to destroy public records. Section 6200 provides:
Every officer having the custody of any record
map, or book, or of any paper or proceeding of
any court, filed or deposited in any public office,
or placed in his hands for any purpose, who is
guilty of stealing, willfully destroying,
mutilating, defacing, altering or falsifying,
removing or secreting the whole or any part of
-3-
•
such record, map, book, paperr or proceeding,
6
or who. permits any other person to do so, is
punishable by imprisonment in the state prison
for two, three, or four years.
Government Code Section 6200 has been held to apply to many different
types of public records. For instance , in People vs.---Sperl (1976) 54
4
Cal .App. 3d 640, a county marshall was convicted of willfully destroying
certain radio logs that were in his control * In People vs . Pearson
(1952) 111 Cal ,App. 2d 9 , a captain in the sheriff' s department was
0 al vice
convicted of destroying records he had prepared while making sever
invest igat ions. In Pearson the defendant argued that his records were
not "public r ecords" within the purview of Section 6200. To this
argument the court responded:
The contention that the papers removed were not
public records is a mere quibble. They were kept
by the sheriff's office as evidence of what had
been done, of what was to be done and proof of
activities of those elements against whom the
law-enforcing agencies could be on the alert. . . .
Such documents are confidential public records
and because of public policy are entitled to the
protection of the statuteo , * ,A paper written
by a public official in the performance of his duties
or in recording the efforts of himself and those under
his command or written plans of future work is a public
record and is properly in the keeping of the office* * * *
ill Cal,App.2d at 18.
The minutes of the Public Utility District's deliberations quite possibly
are #$public records" under Civil Code Section 6200, If an officer of the
District willfully destroyed the tape-recordings and the written minutes
of the District' s deliberations, a violation of Government Code Section
6200 might arguably occur . Since , however , the District will at all
times maintain permanent written minutes of its deliberations, we do not
-4-
believe any criminal liability
could result under section 6200 upon the
destruction of the tape-recordings of the District's deliberations. In
�.
indicate addition, the cases i e that section 6200 has been enforced only
when an official deliberately ate . destroyed records to advance his own

CT; USE OF TAHOE WORLD FOR PUBLICATION
RE: PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRI ,
OF NOTICES
You asked
that we research and determine whether it would be
• PUD to use the Tahoe world, rather than the Sierra Sun,
possible for the
for the publication of legal notices.
Section 16075 of the Public Utilities Code provides:
No ordinance passed by the board takes effect
less than 30 days after its passage. At least
one week before the expiration of said 30 days
copies of the ordinance shall be posted by the clerk at three public places at the district,
and if there is a newspaper of general. circulation
P
tinted and published in the district, the ordin-
ance shall be published in the newspaper pursuant
to Section 6061 of the Government Code.
"newspaper of general circulation's is a term of art and is
The term newspaper
defined in Section 6000 of the Government Code:
A "newspaper of general circulation" is a
newspaper published for the dissemination
of local or telegraphic news and intelligence
of a general character, which has a bona fide
subscription list of paying subscribers, and
has been established, printed and published at
regular intervals in the state, county, or city
where publication, notice by publication, or
official advertising is to be given or made
for at least one year preceeding the date of
the publication, notice or advertisement.
t Code Section 6027 provides that a newspaper is not of "general
Government
�l�
circulat•ion unless it has obtained a judicial decree establishing it as
such . Therefore , it is not sufficient that a newspaper meet the
requirements of the Government Code appl icable to "newspapers of general
circulation, it must also obtain a court decree establishing it as
irculation, " ;
such.
In separate telephone calls to the Tahoe World and the Sierra Sun
we were informed that the Tahoe World has obtained a court decree
establishing it as a newspaper of general circulation in Placer County
only, and that the Sierra Sun has obtained a similar decree with respect
to Nevada County only. Apparently neither newspaper has obtained a court
decree with respect to the Public Utility District itself.
It is doubtful that the Tahoe World could meet the strict
requirements of Government Code Section 6000. Thus,, it is not "printed"
in the district; it is actually printed in South Lake Tahoe. On the
other hand, the Sierra Sun cannot meet the strict requirements of the
Government Code , as it is also printed in South Lake Tahoe. If, as the
Sierra Sun indicatesr it has obtained a court decree with respect to
Nevada county, then the standards of Section 6000 must not be strictly
applied. it might, t herefore, be p ossible for the Tahoe World to obtain
a court decree with resp ect to the Public Utility District even though it
does not meet the strict requirements of the Government Code*
Although apparently neither the Sierra Sun nor the Tahoe World
has obtained a court decree with respect to the Public Utility District,
since the Sierra Sun has been used consistently for some time, we believe
there would be some risk in shifting to the Tahoe World before the Tahoe
World has obtained a court decree with respect to the Public Utility
District. There is a real risk that ordinances published in the Tahoe

Although apparently neither the Sierra Sun nor the Tahoe World

accordance with Section 16075 of the Public utilities Code. We
recommend, therefore, that before the District switches newspapers it
approach the Tahoe World to determine if that newspaper would be willing
to obtain a court decree establishing it as a newspaper of general

circulation for
requesting that it obtain such a court decree is attached hereto*
