For Immediate Release Mayor Karen Weaver Unveils 100 Day Plan Flint, Michigan — December 1, 2015 — Mayor Karen Weaver today laid out the plan for her next 100 days in office at a morning press briefing held in the lobby of Flint City Hall. The Mayor’s plan for the next 100 days will focus mainly on addressing issues related to water and lead, but will also include building a vigorous community engagement program, implementation of the City’s Master Plan and increased attention to youth initiatives. The plan also lists restoring “Home Rule” to City government as a key objective. “During the course of my campaign for this esteemed office, I made several pledges to the citizens of this community,” said Mayor Weaver. “First and foremost I pledged that I would work tirelessly to resolve the City’s water problems. I also made a pledge to work diligently to restore democracy and home rule, in addition to giving voice, truth and transparency to our residents.” While there are other items the Mayor is interested in addressing, the next 100 days will focused on those areas. In dealing with the water issues in Flint, Mayor Weaver is working toward having the City declared a Federal Disaster Area as her first item. “We are faced with the largest public health and public service threat in the history of the City,” said the Mayor. “It will require resources far beyond our capabilities to remediate our water infrastructure problems.” Mayor Weaver has already begun meeting with representatives and senators at both the State and Federal levels. In addition to the Federal Declaration, the Mayor is also seeking to restructure the City’s Water Advisory Committee to include mayoral appointments, implementing a lead poisoning mitigation program in conjunction with local medical centers and expanding the Keep the Water Flowing program to include additional aid agencies. Community engagement and the reestablishment of trust in local government will be vigorously sought by Mayor Weaver, as laid out in the 100 day plan. Beginning this month, the Mayor will conduct monthly Town Hall Meetings in each of the City’s nine wards. In addition, the Mayor plans to attend block club and xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0199_0420_0421_1 neighborhood association meetings frequently, continue the Mayor’s “Open Office” time on Wednesday mornings to hear from constituents and create a “Mobile City Hall” to provide direct access to the Mayor. Another key to the Mayor’s outreach strategy will be to meet frequently with various community stakeholders to gather input and reach out to educational institutions in an effort to gain insight into the problems facing Flint Through relationships with local colleges and universities, the Mayor hopes to develop surveys for such issues as specific as determining the scope of problems with the City’s street lights and more general such as identifying citizen needs. Work is also being done through a university partnership to digitize old paper records of underground pipe materials to better track the location of lead-based service lines throughout the City. Youth engagement is another part of the outreach strategy of the 100 day plan. Mayor Weaver is seeking to establish Operation HYRE (Helping Youth Reach Employment) in which she will call upon local businesses and vendors to provide summer employment opportunities for 500 City youth in 2016. The hope is to expand that year to year. In addition, the Mayor is seeking to form a Youth Advisory Council to provide opportunities for engagement in local government with students. Mayor Weaver acknowledged that the ambitious scope of her plan will be rely on a spirit of cooperation within the community. “I am working every day to improve our quality of life,” the Mayor stated. “Flint’s stability depends on our collective effort to provide economic opportunity, promote healthy lifestyles, and ensure community prosperity. With our legendary Flintstone spirit we will prevail.” -END- -Jason Lorenz Public Information Officer City of Flint (810) 237-2039 (Office) xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0199_0420_0421_2

PRESS RELEASE: Flint Water Optimization Approved

For Immediate Release Flint Water Optimization Plan for Additional Corrosion Control Approved by MDEQ Flint, Michigan — November 05, 2015 — The City of Flint’s Department of Public Works (DPW) has received approval from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for its plan to introduce additional corrosion control agents to water it buys from Detroit. It is expected that the additional corrosion control agents will further reduce the damage caused to water mains and service lines by water corrosion. While using the Flint River as a water source, the City was not required to use corrosion control as part of its Water Optimization Plan. That decision led to accelerated damage to underground pipes due to the corrosiveness of Flint River water. “We are trying to reverse the effects of the more corrosive river water and better protect our underground infrastructure from deteriorating, and in turn protect our families and our children from exposure to metals such as lead and copper,” said DPW Director Howard Croft. Older houses built before 1986 have the likelihood of having plumbing and services lines containing lead and copper. Last month Flint resumed buying treated water from Detroit after it was learned that elevated levels of lead had been found in children living in the City. Flint also worked with local aid agencies to provide water tap mounted filters to every water customer in the City. Tests on water hardness throughout the City have confirmed that Detroit water has made its way to every customer. —END- -Jason Lorenz Public Information Officer City of Flint (810) 237-2039 (Office) (810) 875-2576 (Cell) [email protected] xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b33_5236_5444_065 Byrne, Randall (T reasury)

For Immediate Release City of Flint DPW Publishes and Distributes October Water Quality Report to Water Customers Flint, Michigan — October 26, 2015 — The City of Flint Department of Public Works has published its Quarterly Water Quality Report for October, 2015. The Quarterly Water Quality Report provides important information about Flint’s drinking water, including information about the water source, current drinking water issues, lead information, water filters, testing, 3rd quarter news, and temporary expectations when changing water sources. The report is being mailed to all City of Flint water customers and contains the following highlighted events by month: July e Completed the evaluation of over 8000 valves in the system and identified over 2300 that are currently inoperable. The repair of these valves will be budgeted and worked into our multi-year Capital Improvement Plan. August e Successfully completed the installation of Granulated Activated Carbon at the water treatment plant which reduced the TTHM level in the water and helped bring the City back into compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act. September e Leak Detection on all 600 miles of the distribution system has started and is over halfway complete. Several dozen leaks have been identified and repairs continue as more leaks are found. This has decreased the amount of water loss existing in the system. e Construction of a load out facility at our wastewater plant is on target for completion by November and will allow the City to eliminate the use of the incinerator resulting in significant annual savings. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b36_6099_6552_163 e Over 3500 new water meters have been installed this year creating better accuracy, accountability, and decreasing the number of estimated reads on utility bills. The report is the last to be issued showing the Flint River as a primary drinking water source and contains information on what temporary issues residents can expect during the change in water source, including hydrant flushing and possible discoloration as the water goes through the system. The report also references the submittal of a plan to the MDEQ for the addition of corrosion control agents to treated water delivered from Detroit. Recent issues with lead leaching into drinking water as the reason for the switch in water source are mentioned in the report along with information regarding lead safety, free in-home water testing and free filters available to residents. A table containing all of the third quarter “Regulated Detected Contaminants”, a feature of every water quality report, appears at the end of the publication. Residents with questions or concerns about water quality can call the Water Treatment Plant at 810-787-6537 or email Continuing information on water will be provided via the City of Flint’s website, cityofflint.com. -Jason Lorenz Public Information Officer City of Flint (810) 237-2039 (Office) (810) 875-2576 (Cell) a cityofflint.com xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b36_6099_6552_164 Customer Service Center City Hall 1101 S.

This report includes information about the water source, current drinking water issues, lead information, water filters, 3"! quarter work accomplished, and a water timeline of events. The City of Flint Department of Utilities is dedicated to providing quality drinking water to the residents of the community. The Flint Water Plant operates and maintains a certified drinking water laboratory to assure compliance with all state and federal regulations, and is committed to prompt and thorough notification to the consumers if there is any reason for concern about the quality of the drinking water. Information about your drinking water is available on the City of Flint web page at www.cityofflint.com or by calling the City of Flint Water Plant at (810) 787-6537. The Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791 is a resource for health related questions and water quality issues. General drinking water information can also be found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) web site at www.epa.gov/safewater/. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b36_6099_6552_165 Water Source The City of Flint began using the Flint River as a water source in May of 2014. After 16 months of treating water from the Flint River, the City became aware that the level of corrosiveness found in Flint River water could result in more lead leaching from service lines and household plumbing. Reports of elevated blood lead leveis in children and expert analysis resulted in the City’s Technical Advisory Committee making a recommendation to return to the previous source of water while waiting for the KWA to provide water from Lake Huron. On Friday October 16", 2015, with the consent of Governor Snyder, the City returned to Detroit as the primary source of drinking water. The decision, along with the Technical Advisory Committee’s recommendation followed two consecutive lead and copper test periods that exceeded 5ug/L which calls for additional action. In addition to the switch, the City has submitted a final corrosion control design to the DEQ for comments and approval. The City has requested to use the corrosion control as an additive to treated water it will be required when the city begins treating raw water from the Karegnondi Water Authority which is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2016. In order to make the transition possible, the City contributed $2 Million dollars, the Mott Foundation contributed $4 Million dollars, and the State of Michigan contributed $ 6 Million dollars. Current Drinking Water Issues & Lead Information There has been a heightened awareness of lead leaching into drinking water through service lines and household plumbing. The City’s Technical Advisory Committee has enlisted the support of EPA lead experts and is working with State of Michigan representatives to increase testing, rebuild public confidence, and implement long-term solutions to lead. It is recommended that everyone get their water tested, obtain a water filter, and check with a plumber to evaluate the type and condition of your household plumbing. The City is currently mapping all of its lead service lines and working to develop a program to get lines changed over time. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Flint is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 5 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at , Property [ing ARETE service ling No Jead in water Little or no lead in Lead can leach into Lead can leach into leaving the water in the water through water through Treatment Plant. transmission mains. service lines. household piumbing. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b36_6099_6552_166 Water Filters & Testing Free water filters have been made available to current Flint residents at several locations. The MDHHS and the Genesee County Community Action Resource Department (GCCARD) are providing Free National Sanitation Foundation certified water filters at the following locations. Residents receiving MDHHS assistance are encouraged to visit either the 125 E. Union St. or 4809 Clio Rd. MDHHS office location to obtain a free, certified home water filter. Residents who are not currently enrolled in MDHHS assistance programs should visit the (GCCARD) offices located at 2727 Lippincott and 601 N. Saginaw in Flint. Staff will be onsite at all four locations from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, to distribute filters and assist residents who have questions about proper installation. If you want more information on obtaining a water filter, please call 211. Other suggestions related to water safety and testing: = We recommend that everyone get their water tested. Call us at (810)-787-6537. = Contact the Health Department about having your child’s blood tested (810)-257-3612. " It is advisable to have a plumber check your household plumbing. = Check your faucet aerator (large lead solder particles can occasionally get lodged in here). Temporary issues to be aware of when Changing Water Sources Changing water sources back to Detroit will not fully eliminate the lead concerns. The potential for lead to leach off of certain water service lines or household plumbing will continue to exist regardless of the water source. The City is committed to increased testing, better communication, and developing a lead service line map to identify all of the City owned lead service lines. As the city changes water sources you can expect the following: = It could take up to three weeks for the switch in water source to reach all taps in the City. = Over the next several weeks, we will be winterizing our hydrants which will result in discoloration of the water but will also help accelerate the water flowing through the system. = Lead will continue to leach off of certain service lines and household plumbing. = Main breaks could result as a change in source water occurs. = Water could have discoloration or cloudiness, if this happens, run your faucet until the water clears, if this lasts longer than 20 minutes please report it to our water service center at (810)- 766-7202. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b36_6099_6552_167 Water Timeline A timeline of events, beginning with signing the KWA contract leading up to the current status of switching back to our previous source of water is available on the City website and can be found by visiting the “water” page located under “residents”.

Admission of Fault in Flint’s Water Emergency For Immediate Release Mayor Dayne Walling Response to MDEQ’s Admission of Fault in Flint’s Water Emergency Flint, Michigan — October 19, 2015 — The following is a response from Mayor Dayne Walling regarding the MDEQ’s statement admitting fault in the Flint water emergency: Today, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) acknowledges its leading role in the decision-making that led to the contamination of Flint’s drinking water. The people of Flint hear this admission and we demand that the State fully fix this problem they caused. While the State taking responsibility and the switch to Detroit water are steps in the right direction for Flint, actions speak louder than words. Now, the Governor and the State need to 1 xxxEND_PAGE:deq14_b0758_2571_2572_1 provide tens of millions of dollars to fix Flint’s water and infrastructure as well as to provide for the families, children and schools affected. I will continue to push for changes and advocate for our City until every drop of water is 100% safe. The MDEQ assured Flint that the switch was being handled safely and responsibly. We relied on the information from MDEQ, and clearly that information was wrong. My heart goes out to the children and families who are affected by this issue. This morning our local Senator Jim Ananich said the following: “We do not know whether the misapplication of federal rules was intentional or due to negligence. That’s why the Legislature needs to have a robust role in any investigation, and in ensuring those responsible for Flint’s water crisis are held accountable.” | applaud Senator Ananich's Statement and | urge the Governor and State Officials to take the necessary steps to ensure accountability so that this never happens again to any community. —END-— -Jason Lorenz Public Information Officer City of Flint (810) 237-2039 (Office) !

For Immediate Release City of Flint Reconnects to Detroit Water Flint, Michigan — October 16, 2015 — Flint has reconnected to Detroit water. reached an agreement with the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) for the temporary provision of treated Lake Huron water to Flint. Work to establish the reconnection will begin immediately in a coordinated effort between the City of Flint, Genesee County and the DWSD. A tremendous effort by all three partners, along with the efforts of the Governor and the State Legislature, ensured that this action occurred as quickly as possible. “The money from the state to begin fixing Flint water by reconnecting to Detroit is just a start - a down payment,’ said Mayor Dayne Walling. “I am not going to stop until every drop of drinking water in Flint is 100% safe.” Detroit water will be introduced into the Flint system throughout the evening. It is expected that the thorough replacement from Flint River water to Detroit water will happen after approximately three weeks. Residents in Flint may see discoloration as well as noticing some taste and odor issues during the transition. Water provided by DWSD will contain corrosion control agents to hinder the leaching of lead from old pipes into the water, however, the City will also be adding additional corrosion control agents to further minimize the risk presented by lead pipes. The contract between the City and DWSD calls for the provision of 12.5 million gallons per day (mgd) of treated water from Lake Huron at a cost of $1.1 million per month. DWSD Director Sue McCormick noted that the talks between Flint, DWSD and the GLWA Board were very cordial: “everyone acted in a spirt of cooperation in order to come to this agreement.” Flint will purchase water from Detroit until the Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA) pipeline can be completed in 2016. At that time, the KWA will become the primary water source for the City and the Flint River will remain as a backup system. 1 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b1009_2514_2515_1 Residents with questions or concerns about the hydrant flushing in their area can call the Water Service Center at 810-766-7202.

RE: FW: Draft run of show and release

Thanks much to you both. Below is latest version of release that works to incorporate and marry all of yours and Mott’s comments, along with others. Believe we got all addressed. Please review and make sure all good from your end. We can do any final, major tweaks in the morning. Holler if anything else needed at all between now and tomorrow morning. See you soon and thanks for all your help! SW Gov. Rick Snyder: Move back to Detroit water provides best protection for public health in Flint State, Mott Foundation, city form partnership to fund switch until KWA is ready FLINT, Mich. — Flint families and children will be better protected by reconnecting with the Great Lakes Water Authority as the source of the city’s drinking water until the Karegnondi Water Authority pipeline is completed, Gov. Rick Snyder said. Snyder said Thursday that he will request the state Legislature to provide half, or $6 million, of the $12 million needed to reconnect with the authority through next summer, when the KWA is expected to be completed. The Flint city government will provide $2 million and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has committed $4 million. “All Flint residents need clean, safe drinking water,” Snyder said. “The technical experts helping the city on its water advisory all agree this move back to the Great Lakes Water Authority provides the best public health protection for children and families. This effort today is the result of people coming together to solve a problem. I appreciate Detroit’s willingness to reconnect with Flint, the Mott Foundation’s generous commitment, and the dedication of all parties to come together to protect Flint families and children.” Flint city leaders requested the state’s help to fund the reconnection and to assist with health and infrastructure issues. Flint’s move to the Great Lakes Water Authority is expected to cost about $1.3 million per month until the Karegnondi Water Authority is completed next summer. “It’s heartening to know so many people are working at so many levels to bring safe, clean water back to Flint,” Mott Foundation President Ridgway White said. “We believe that reconnecting the city’s water supply is the right and necessary thing to do, and we’re glad we could help the state and the city make it happen.” xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0543_1088_1095_1 The move to Detroit water is expected to carry public health benefits. As large bodies of water, the Great Lakes are naturally prone to fewer problems from large rain events and other runoff issues that can sometimes be present in shallower rivers. Additionally, the Great Lakes Water Authority water already has additional corrosion control, using phosphates to help coat the insides of pipes and limit lead from leaching into the water. However, reconnecting with the authority will not completely resolve the city’s problem with lead service lines or aging infrastructure. It will take time for pipes in Flint to become coated with the phosphate corrosion control. Additionally, some households in the city could experience lead in their drinking water until all lead pipes and plumbing are replaced. "Reconnecting to Detroit is the fastest way to deliver clean, safe water to Flint and stabilize the infrastructure system,” Flint Mayor Dayne Walling said. “I appreciate the state, the Mott Foundation, Detroit, and the county's participation in a solution for Flint's water problems. The health and safety of Flint's families, children and seniors is my top priority and reconnecting to Detroit is a major step that the city could not take alone given budget constraints." To best protect public health, Snyder said state and local authorities will continue to carry out steps outlined on Oct. 2 in a comprehensive action plan, including continued testing, the use of faucet filters and providing residents with accurate information about steps to eliminate lead exposure. The Michigan Departments of Environmental Quality and Health and Human Services today also committed an additional $3.5 million for water filters, free lead testing through the state laboratory for Flint water customers, and hiring additional staff to conduct health exposure monitoring for lead in drinking water. Free filters are available for current MDHHS clients at the 125 E. Union St. or 4809 Clio Road MDHHS office locations. For residents who are not currently enrolled in MDHHS assistance programs, free filters are available at the Genesee County Community Action Resource Department offices at 2727 Lippincott and 601 North Saginaw in Flint. Staff will be at all four locations from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, to distribute filters and assist residents who have questions about proper installation. At the Lippincott location only, extended hours will be offered this weekend, including until 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Other good practices for residents concerned about lead include turning on the cold water tap and running the water until it’s as cold as it will go. Additionally, only use cold water for cooking, drinking and especially mixing baby formula. School test results released; more investigation planned The state today also released the first results from its lead screening program in schools and homes. Of 37 total samples taken at 13 buildings, four samples spread over three buildings exceeded the federal action level of 15 parts per billion. However, this sampling provides only an initial screen, and the state is committing to further testing water and inspecting plumbing at these schools. Until testing is complete, schools are advised to continue using bottled water and filtration as a precaution to protect children. In addition, free testing is still available for any other Flint school, including daycares and Head Starts. Free testing is also available for any Flint resident. Additional information, including more detailed lead screening results, is available at yoww michigan. gov/Tintwater. Hit# 2 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0543_1088_1095_2

Details on that donation drive will be available at Ai Serra’s Facebook page today. “Our children are a top priority given the effects lead can have on their development,” said Mayor Walling. “Any bottled water donations we receive will be used for our children and other high risk groups, such as our seniors. We continue to recommend that residents follow the instructions of the Genesee County Health Department concerning lead in drinking water.” The City has been working with local aid agencies to provide water relief to Flint residents.

PRESS RELEASE: City of Flint Lead Advisory

To
Unknown recipient
For Immediate Release City of Flint Issues Lead Advisory Flint, Michigan — September 25, 2015 — The City of Flint is issuing a Lead Advisory for residents to be aware of lead levels in drinking water after hearing concerns from the medical community. While the City is in full compliance with the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, this information is being shared as part of a public awareness campaign to ensure that everyone takes note that no level of lead is considered safe. The Genesee County Health Department has issued a fact sheet regarding lead precautions for residents. The Department recommends: « Flush your cold-water pipes by running the water for approximately 5 minutes « Use only water from the cold-water tap for drinking, cooking, and especially for making baby formula. = Install a water filter that is NSF-certified for lead removal. Lead contamination can leach into water from a home’s lead water service lines, lead solder, and leaded plumbing materials including fixtures, faucets, and fittings. Older service lines with pipes and fixtures installed before 1986 can sometimes be more susceptible to lead issues due to materials used in the home such as lead based paint and lead pipes. This message is meant as a precaution to residents and does not mean that all homes in the City will experience the same issue. Residents with concerns about lead service lines and lead in home plumbing fixtures are encouraged to contact the City’s Utilities Division to schedule a free water testing by calling the Water Treatment Plant at 810-787-6537 and pressing #1 after prompted or by emailing flintwater@ xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0068_0110_0112_1 The City of Flint is working proactively along with the County Health Department, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to improve the water system throughout the City. An accelerated plan to add a corrosion control agent to our water within 30 to 60 days with expedited approval from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is already underway. This will reduce corrosion which can cause lead in old pipes to leach into the water. This plan is in addition to Mayor Walling’s letter requesting $30 Million in water infrastructure assistance funding from the State of Michigan. $10 Million of that request would be for the replacement of lead service lines in households to ensure that lead no longer presents a danger to the drinking water of our residents. As the letter states, “It is the City’s position that the abatement of lead through the removal of lead containing pipes and fixtures in homes is the best long term solution to keeping our residents’ water safe.” Mayor Walling further stated: "I am extremely concerned about the risks around lead with Flint's children and I will be working tirelessly to ensure the water is safe and all of our families have the information they need. I also will continue to pursue funding for infrastructure improvements and a comprehensive healthy homes initiative that addresses lead in paint and pipes. We have to get the lead out of our community to eliminate the threat of childhood lead poisoning." The City of Flint continues working proactively with the County Health Department, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to improve the water system throughout the City. The City remains committed to working with all of our partners in the Water Technical Advisory Committee to address all issues of public health and quality concerns that face the community. Updates on progress made in addressing this issue will be made during regular public meetings including City Council and other scheduled meetings. Information on this and all related matters will continue to be posted on the City of Flint’s website, cityofflint. com. -END- -Jason Lorenz Public Information Officer City of Flint xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0068_0110_0112_2 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0068_0110_0112_3
