RE: Review of Draft Presidential Declaration Request-Approval Needed by Today at

To

1:30PM FYI — the only reference to Treasury is on page 4 of the request letter as indicated below: With input from the Department of Treasury, MDTED assessed that the most significant immediate negative impact will be the economic effects of such things as decreased property values, lost business activity (new businesses will not move to Flint and existing businesses that rely on clean water, such as restaurants, will be hurt), lost employment, population loss (renters will leave the city). Residents and businesses will also have to pay extra for bottled water, so the extra spending on water will take away from other spending. It is relatively easy for residents to move some of their economic/spending activity outside the city, so the Flint economy will be hurt. These impacts will create an economic downturn in Flint. In terms of personal income losses, a three to four percent loss in nominal personal income in the City of Flint seems a reasonable estimate, which would equal a negative impact of $85 million to $115 million per year in lost economic activity. Long-term, there will be the significant cost of a new water system. Direct health related costs, estimated by MDHHS, are in addition to this estimate. So | would say for the most part we have no other comment to make regarding this correspondence.

Importance: High All: | received the attached documents from MSP EMHSD a few minutes ago. Treasury needs to review and approve the two documents: 1) the letter to President Obama and 2) an associated FEMA request form before they sent to the Governor's office for final review and editing. The approval is needed based on information provided by the Michigan Department of Treasury on page 4 of the Declaration Request Cover Letter attached. Can any of you tell me who should approve this? This has been promised to the Governor by early afternoon, our approval needs to be returned to Tony Katarsky by no later than 1:30 PM today. Please let me know or call me at 517- SMMEF discuss.

RE: URGENT - SEOC Activation

All: | attended the briefing at the SEOC regarding the Flint Water Crisis, Randy Byrne also attended. The briefing included a lot of details regarding actions already taken by the City, County, and State and to establish the resources necessary to move forward to get the issue fixed. MSP-EMHSD has taken the lead along with several other state agency EMC and PlO’s, at this time Treasury is not part of the incident command plans but they will call on us if needed. After the meeting, Randy Byrnes informed me of the RTAB that is in place with the City of Flint and | shared with MSP, Chris Kelenske and Tony Katarsky, they appreciated having knowledge of the RTAB and feel that will work its daily course and not play at this time in the EM plan. If you have any questions let me know. Ann Luepnitz Manager Facility, Mail, and Data Operations Phone: 517-636-5335 Cell: 517-410-3275 Fax: 517-322-1631

RE: Bottle Deposit Fund

Bottle deposit or Escheats fund? Whatever the case, think you would still have the lending of the credit of the State issue. Hence why the ELB route was created, which is an “investment” on the State’s books. And for the most part if you would lend from an individual fund or just have an overall “investment” from the common cash fund, you are still trying up cash that would otherwise be available to manage. How about some sort of loan from the SRF?
