FROM: JAMES E. SIMON, DISTRICT COUNSEL;
J'JHN M. PHELPS, ASSOCIATE COUNSEL
RE: PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT; USE OF TAHOE WORLD FOR PUBLICATION
OF NOTICES
You asked that we research and determine whether it would be
possible for the [IUD to use the Tahoe W,.)rlrl, rather than the Sierra Sun,
fur the publication of loyal notices.
Section 16075 of the Public Utilities Code provides:
No ordinance passed by the board takes effect
le:;s than 30 days after its pa: -,:;age. At least
onc. week before the expi rat ion of :;aid 30 days
copies; of the ordinance shall be posted by the
clerk at three public: places at the district,
and if there is i newspaper of general circulation
printed and published in the district, the ordin-
ance shall be published in the newspaper pursuant
to Section 6061 of the Government Code.
The term "newspaper of general circulation" i:; a term of art and is
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, noti,�e by publication, or
official advertising is to be given or made
for at least one year proceeding the date of
the publication, notice or advertisement.
Government Code Section 6027 provides that. a newspaper is not of "general
-1-
circulation" unless it has obtained a )IIdi"ial 1102i7r0l' tAishing it as 190
. such. Therefore, it is not sufticient. that a newspaper meet the
requirements of the Government Code applicab.e to "newspapers of general
circulation,"; it must also obtain a court dec.rom, establishing it as
such.
in :,cpalato t'elophon'. ails to Oio Tahoe World -ind the Sierra Sun
we wero informed that the Tahoo World h,j:; obtained a court decree
c:;t.�blishirnl it as a newsp,ipor of genor.il --irt:ulation In Placer County
only, and that the Sierra Sun has obtained a similar decree with respect
to Nevada County only. Apparently neither newspaper his 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 if, 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 indicates, it Has obtained a court decree with respect to
Nevada County, then the standards of Section 6000 must not be strictly
applied. It might, therefore, be possible for the Tahoe World to obtain
a court decree with respect 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
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 ixthlished in the Tahoe
World might b.� challenged as ineffective since not published in
accordance with Section 16075 of the Public Utilities Code. We
recommend, theroforo, that before the District switches newspapers it
approach the Tahoe World to determine if' t.tuit newspaper would be willing
to obtain a court decree establishing it as a newspaper of general
circulation for the Di trict. A draft of the letter to the Tahoe World

REs' PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT/INITIATION OF LIEN PROCEDURE
FOR NON-PAYMENT OF UTILITY RILLS
You asked that we research and determine the feasibility
Of the Public Utility District establishiny, a lien on the property
o%med by the individuals who are deli.n(Iuent on the payment of
utility bills. Section 16469 of the Public Utilities Code
provides:
Charges unpaid at the time specified for
the fixing of the rate of taxes may be added
to become part of the annual assessment
levied upon the land upon which the commodity
or service was used, if the property is owned,
controlled, or in the possession of the same
person who owned, controlled, or was in posse,,-
sion of it during, the time that such service
charp,es were incurred or if the only transfers
made of the property since the date such charges
were incurred have been transfers by gift, descent,
bequest, or devise.
Pursuant to this section, the owners of land for which utilities
were provided may be assessed the amount of the unpaid utilities.
Section 16470 further provides that charpcs added to an assessment
are it lien on the land, unless the land has been subsequently
transferred to a bona fide purchaser or unless a bona fide encum-
brance has been created and attaches to the land prior to the date
that the first installment of the assessment would be delinquent.
In the event that there is a prior conveyance or encumbrance, then
the lien shall not attach to the property but the District may file
with the County Recorder a certificate specifying the amount of the
assessment and the name and address of the person liable for the
assessment. On the date of the recordation of the certificate the
amount listed on the certificate becomes a lien upon all real property
in the County owned by the person liable for the assessment.
