Conference Call With Governor

All: As you know, we have a conference call with the Governor at 4:30pm today... In a phone conversation with Rich Baird earlier today, he mentioned that he has heard the Task Force has 4 initial items of concern: 1. The lack of unfettered access to individuals with whom we need to meet. 2. The lack of one individual or entity who has the responsibility to coordinate and marshal resources to respond to the ongoing situation in Flint. 3. The proposed letter requesting the deployment of the resources of the Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response for additional testing of blood lead levels in Flint children. 4. The apparent culture of "technical compliance" as a regulatory approach in the Safe Drinking Water Division at DEQ. Given the limited time we have with the Governor, | suggest we focus on the first 3 and leave the last one for another day. Although my take-away from our meeting with the DEQ is consistent with #4 above, | would characterize it as an initial impression and one that needs to be explored a bit further. Everyone should feel free to weigh in where they want, but Eric, | hope you will emphasize #1, Matt #3, and Chris--you or |--#2. Just my suggestion as a way to organize our conversation a bit...open to other thoughts as we proceed.

Governor's Flint Water Advisory Task Force - Logistics Update

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is to provide a brief update on some of the arrangements that we are making to conduct the work of the Governor’s Flint Water Advisory Task Force (FWATF): To simplify communications among task force members, the Task Force has decided to close the Basecamp project that was initially set up for the entirety of the roster provided earlier. The Basecamp project for the FWATF will be maintained for task force members. Accordingly, to archive documents for the FWATF’s review and consideration, Gere ite com) or any one of the FWATF members and we will arrange for posting to Basecamp. If you have large documents or a large number of documents, please contact me and we can arrange for posting to Dropbox. o (This is why the project has not been accessible in the event that you have tried to load documents) | thought it might be helpful for the FWATF to develop a brief status report on our activities — interviews and meetings conducted and scheduled, documents collected, etc. - perhaps on a bi-weekly or even weekly basis. So, unless there is objection or concerns, | will try to craft a reporting template for discussion by the FWATF at our next regularly scheduled meeting. If you have suggestions for this reporting, please send along. We have put on our respective calendars a weekly meeting, generously hosted at PSC offices, on Wednesday mornings. We are also attempting to schedule a “listening session” in Flint in the next few weeks as well as briefing sessions with MDEQ and MHHS. My apologies for any confusion regarding the Basecamp set-up. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. - Eric Eric P. Rothstein, CPA GLWA Implementation Planning Program Manager Gailardi Rothstein Group - Principal 3306 N.
