Drinking Water Program Funding Request

Nancy, As a follow-up to my voicemail, | am attaching additional information related to the funding request that Director Wyant spoke to John about. The request includes $3.9 million of one-time funding to keep Flint on the Great Lakes Water Authority system until December 2016. The request also includes $3 million of ongoing funding for additional expertise, sampling, and testing. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Amy Epkey, Deputy Director of Administration Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Phone: (517) 284-5002 xxxEND_PAGE:deq18_b535_3715_3715_1

Flint Water

To
Kyle Jen , Steve Angelotti , Mi Gov
In follow-up to our meeting this morning, I’ve attached a spreadsheet outlining the Administration’s recommendation for addressing the Flint water situation. A formal supplemental revision will be forthcoming (hopefully later today). Nancy Puncan Deputy State Budget Director 517-373-0870 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0269_0572_0572_1

RE: letter from John O'Brien

| agree with Dennis... Consistent with what I think we (Wayne & |) said at the DEQ meeting yesterday... the county drain commission has more knowledge & experience running a water system than we (Treasury) do. That is why we were trying to get some outside verification. We were not able to get an outside engineering firm engaged due to the timeframe. Our fallback was Jeff Wright - the drain commissioner. He calculated $13.2mm. We did a ‘back of the envelope’ analysis of $10.5mm late last week. That was based off an email we rec’d from Dennis that summarized the DWSD/City proposal. We were not a part of the $12mm calculation that is in the ‘public’ realm now. | believe that was a result of a meeting DEQ/Dan had with the City earlier this week. John indicated yesterday he would recommend/prefer to err on the side of caution for the amount requested from the legislature. Plus, keep in mind whatever number you choose assumes completion of KWA in June. If the project slips a month (& it very well could given it is a major capital project) the cost of the reconnect is going to go up a $1mm+ per month. If it is possible | would recommend using the $13.2mm (hoping the project will be done as scheduled) given the county is in the best position to make that estimate. We don’t have any info that would contradict that number.

1 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b35_5648_6098_119 We're still carrying $12m as the cost to reconnect, and that’s the number the Governor is using too. John would like your assessment of the need given the information in this letter. We plan to send a supplemental request to the Legislature for our $6m share this afternoon.

RE: DRAFT City of Flint Solution

I'm confused by this spreadsheet. At this morning’s meeting the supplemental (apart from the filters) discussed was for $6m to reconnect plus $1.5m for 10 FTEs, 8 of which | understood to be in MDHHS for nurse case managers and lead abatement investigators. This spreadsheet seems to be $1.5m short of this morning’s conversation. | don’t have a funding source for the positions in FY 2016. If we’re absorbing within existing resources lll need a GF transfer and work project to capture FY ’15 lapse.
