Many were surprised at the Dec. 12 meeting of the Moraga Town Council to read county documents in which Moraga is listed as the City of Moraga and not the Town of Moraga. Town (or City) Manager Jill Keimach confirmed: "The legal status of Moraga is that of a city, not a town, however it has retained the 'Town' name, like Danville did, to emphasize its rural nature." So when she and her staff need to refer to Moraga as a legal entity, it's a city; the rest of the time, it's a town. Council member Mike Metcalf wondered aloud if he should refer to it as "the city of the Town of Moraga."
