City Clerk
City of San Bernardino

Dear Ms. Clark:
Historically, the office of the City Clerk of San Bernardino
has presented to the minority community unique problems that
need resolving.
The first has been your policy of not advertising in minority
newspapers, and secondly, your policy of hiring only a minimum
of temporary minority employees.
The Superior Court of San Bernardino County has declared the
Precinct Reporter adjudicated as a newspaper of general circu-
lation by case number 162020 on July 24, 1974. It is the news-
paper with the second largest circulation in the county.
A copy of that court order was made available to you as well
as interpretation of the law relative to the Precinct Reporter
from the city attorney's office.
In spite of what the law indicates, our account executive says
you still maintain that the Precinct Reporter is not a newspaper
of general circulation and still refuse to advertise therein.
Surely there is a resolution to the problem other than wasting
time in court. I'd appreciate your opinion in resolving this
matter at an early date.
