FW: Draft Documents Subject to Attorney Client Privilege (FIAAC)

Team: | have received all of the input provided and thank you. The following highlights: Hf The only two “enterprise wide” folks we have as Coordinators are Harvey Hollins and Chris Kalenske. | have changed their titles to reflect a role and not connote “We are in charge and to hell with everyone else”. Therefore | have changed the org chart and created a “dotted line” depiction—and also added the Legislative body as they (or subsets) may have a role here as well. @ But make no mistake, we are going to be accountable whether we should be or not so we are not syndicated the leadership that comes with the coordinating roles. | rewrote certain pieces of the proposal to reflect our inclusion, equality and partnership. But make no mistake, Harvey and Chris are the guys who will make this coordination effort work and if either of them encounter resistance with any of our partners in this effort, | have pledged to have their backs using my persuasive charm and bankruptcy tested mediation skills... @ | did not bring in more departments at this time. That is not to say they would not be value add, but there is a difference between an emergency response and planning effort, and introducing some other ways to get help and support to Flint. We will do that too, but not at this time. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails19_b052_152_153_1 Mf | have attached Tim Becker’s Supplemental Request. Note that even at $6 million over 2 years it does not include funding for the sort of long term monitoring of consequences of lead impact. H Lastly | want people to know that we are committed to a spirit of inclusion, even with those who have been relentless in their attacks without offering any insights to solutionality. But some of these people have a stronger interest in advancing their own personal agenda and not devoting any real efforts to solving real problems. They will only be welcome if they decide to pursue the latter behavior vs. the former. Unless someone thinks | really botched something up in the proposal, | would now ask Jarrod to give it final blessing and share with the Governor to get confirmation on the way forward. Thanks everyone for a less than 24 hour turnaround and... Go Green Ok ok...Go Blue too... HNY, Rich Sent from Mail for Windows 10 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails19_b052_152_153_2
