          RE:     Harris v. Ruehmann

                    OAH Docket No. 1-6355-16591-CV

 

Dear Mr. Stein:

On April 28, 2005, our office received a campaign complaint regarding the March 8, 2005, Dead Lake Township election.  Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 211B.37, costs of considering complaints relating to non-statewide elections are to be assessed against the county or counties in which the election is held. 

This letter is meant simply to serve as notice that the Office of Administrative Hearings will assess the costs of considering this complaint against Otter Tail County.  OAH is required by law to bill agencies on an hourly basis for the services of its Administrative Law Judges and staff attorneys.  You will receive an itemized bill for services from OAH monthly.

If you have any questions regarding the campaign complaint process, please feel free to call me at the number below.

                                                                 Sincerely,

 

                                                                 /s/ Mary Beth Gossman
