            Re:      In the Matter of the Appeal of the Trespass Citation Issued to

                        William F. Halquist; OAH Docket No. 7-2000-19755-2

 

Dear Colonel Johanson:

 

            I have been advised by Pat Watts of your Division that the Citation under appeal in this case was issued for an alleged violation that did not occur on state property, but occurred on property owned by the City of Belle Plaine.

 

            It is my understanding that the Enforcement Division will, as a result of the circumstance noted above, refer this matter to the City of Belle Plaine for any further action.

 

            Ms. Watts informed me by email (copy attached), voice mail and telephone call on September 24, 2008, to the effect that the Enforcement Division staff wishes to dismiss the Citation.

 

            Accordingly, IT IS RECOMMENDED that Civil Trespass Citation #142845, issued to William Floyd Halquist, be DISMISSED.

 

            I am closing this Office’s file in the case, and returning the record to you.

 

                                                                                    Very truly yours,

 

                                                                                    /s/ Richard C. Luis
