Whereas, These two monitoring wells may only legally remain in the public right-of-way by the granting of a special privilege by the Common Council; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that Ms. Christine Findley, 11707 West North Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53226, is hereby granted the following special privilege:
