Title
Consider recommendation from the Permits/Enforcement Committee to accept a counter-offer from Broderick E. and Susan G. Milford dba Fey's Boat and Camper Storage related to the status of their Limited Production Well (W107-002), based on the owner’s past history of exceeding annual groundwater withdrawal limits.
