Dear Ms. Jahnke and Ms. Lundell:

 

This letter constitutes the First Prehearing Order concerning matters discussed in the telephone prehearing conference on October 28, 2008.  Ms. Jahnke appeared for the Department of Human Services; Ms. Lundell, Tammy Decker, and Jennifer O’Neill appeared for Howry Residential Services, without counsel.
