Importance: High Dick and Darin, Senate R’s have asked if Nick could come over and brief them on the water rate credit issue. He is more than willing to do that, and | am coordinating with the Senate. But | had heard that some information had been shared with Senate Dems, just checking if that was the case and what document that was. So we can make sure we are using the same documents. Ken Osborne Legislative Liaison Department of Treasury Desk: 517-241-2474 Cell: 517-388-0968 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b38_6783_6976_088 Osborne, Ken (TREASURY)

Senator and Representatives; Attached are 1) The way in which we determined that 65% of the water usage (not including sewer) is cooking, drinking and bathing. 2) Applying that stat to the aggregate costs of water in Flint, how we came up with $30M for credits Dick xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b38_6783_6976_089 Household Water Use Distribution Rates There appear to be a number of online resources (including online calculators) that indicate the distribution of water used for cooking, drinking, and bathing. A good example is the pie chart in this EPA document: Flushing the toilet and washing clothes, alone, make up about 48% of the average indoor use. Add in leaks, and you're at 62%. Also, keep in mind that this is only indoor use, so any outdoor use would further dilute the percentage used in cooking, drinking, and bathing. So on this scale cooking, drinking, and bathing range from 38% to 52%. So reimbursing for 65% of total water used (not sewer costs) should cover almost anyone's cost for those items. Another way to check this is using a fairly detailed calculator ) to map consumption. Here are the stats that we entered, which are aimed at generating an atypically high ratio of refundable uses to other uses: Single person Relatively modern dishwasher, washing machine, toilet 1 toilet 7 showers/wk (avg is 4.7) 1 bath per week 4 flushes/day (avg is 5) No aerators and old faucets Energy star dishwasher used 0.7 times/week (that’s the avg. per person, though a single person is likely to run the dishwasher at least once, and probably twice, per week—I’m assuming hand washing would use even more water) 2 loads of laundry/week {avg is 11 loads/month) No apparent leaks No outside water use With all of that, the combined faucet*, shower, and bath percentage was 70% of household usage. If we only change the shower and toilet figure to reflect average use, that percentage goes down to 65%. If we plug in a 4-person household that uses the dishwasher, washing machine, toilet, and shower the average number of times, and | also allow for 2 baths per week, keeping all of the other parameters the same, the percentage goes down to 64%. *It’s important to note, however, that in all of these calculations we are using “faucet” as a proxy for cooking and drinking. The default faucet statistic allows for 8.1 minutes of use per person per day. That’s much more water than would be used for those two purposes. If we change that one stat to allow for a total of 8 minutes of water use per day for drinking and cooking, the above percentage plummets to 50%. And if we don’t count the water we waste while waiting for it to heat up (this is a toggle that is in addition to the 8 minutes noted above), the percentage drops to 48%. If we assume that the home doesn’t have a washing machine at this point (and that laundry is done at a laundromat), the percentage use for faucet, shower, and bath is 64%. That’s a fair amount of detail, but the point is that even with all of the variables at play, we think that a 65% refund would cover the cost of water used for drinking, cooking, and bathing for most, and possibly all, Flint residents. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b38_6783_6976_090 leoeois'ee £ (lemsowv09 pue jenuepisay) 1505 pIVaLOLg puE [e>! | Hos cooves RETO 2SIACTRNPR 89 OF 150 [EDHOISHH IETOL spGeur, ¢ ouabuaary 50> mia Aq labpng 4.4 Ad Pag mip. oaidope ey FOL Ae RYT, LTR SRO LAR TROY PALMAR Arey HEALALID PITA tus BAR SOY DIO RS BL SLOT HN MY OH P102 fry 22 BPO at saree witvina 9, 6 bis odo g 02 buny puolg SUCK afad panrupy 61o2 Snbreriog Ant wey RO) NOIR] ALU Uber a aa Gan S1OC BURY ay de LOREL se trp yun paypal a {gs tis'pse 115¢2 papraead ota PpnIaU we ORTERRATUN AWaNETD BUR Speed ME Uae Aus (OT AMAA ur Sid, aqua) HORdURE IO Aa JO pvOW OG NURI LEB ay GIO DE TUN Bes 816g mualeTD, "Ypprnredie go?

xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b41_7622_7971_008 Dick Relied on Tom and Wayne Workman for the history Here are their comments (1) Mast of these dates involve DEQ et al in which we/Treasury did not play a role i.e., someone else [DEQ] would need to confirm their accuracy. (2) Just quickly, items we would question from the document or need to investigate further... (3) 12/20/12 (p.1) - we don’t have the notification that is referenced (4) 3/29/13 (p.2) — we are not aware of any veto by Kurtz. (5) The early offers by DWSD to reconnect were rejected because of the add’I cost, they were long term & the fact the City had executed a contract with KWA. On Jan 12 ’15 they waived the reconnection fee but there were still issues re the length/term of the commitment. (6) 3/12/15 —the Veolia report did mention corrosion control but the focus was on TTHM which was chlorination issue not related to the lead problem. | believe Treasury funded the study.

Let me know if this is accurate Thanks Dick Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

To all; Senator Ananich would like to add additional items to our timeline that I sent. They are highlighted and J think show up on this scan. Please look at and let me know if they are factual (DHHS and DEQ) (and if you say they aren't tell me why because Senator Ananich will have his 2 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b41_7622_7971_009 info).

Window fans frequently blow and spread the lead dust from the deteriorating paint to other parts of the room/house. We suspect that the summer data spike may be related to this effect. e ifthe home water supply Ines and/or river water were contributing to elevated blood lead tests, we expected that the increased rates would extend beyond the summer, but they drop quite a bit from September to October, stayed low over the winter, and are just starting to tail up again in the spring of 2015, “So upon review, we don’t believe our data demonstrates an increase in lead poisoning rates that might be attributable to the change in water source for Flint.

This water will need to be treated by each of the respective water supplies. @ When KWA comes on line, Flint will be receiving raw water that is similar to the raw water that DWSD treats. o Flint will then need to operate the water treatment plant for an (as of yet) undetermined period of time. Once Flint has demonstrated that it is capable of generating water with the desired background characteristics it will then be able to then send water to the distribution system. @ Fornon-Flint residents who want to test their water for lead — they can purchase a testing kit

Not Responsiv Team, As you are aware, we have been working closely with the independent task force that has been reviewing state, local and federal actions regarding the serious health issues related to water in Flint. Although the task force’s final report is not yet complete, members have made the Governor aware of some interim findings, and there are interim steps the Governor has decided to take immediately in order to restore trust in how we in state government keep residents safe and informed. As part of this process, Dan Wyant, director of the Department of Environmental Quality, has offered his resignation, and Governor has reluctantly decided to accept it. There are likely to be other personnel changes in MDEQ as well. | want to thank Dan for his service. He has been the DEQ director since the start of the administration, and previously headed the Agriculture Department under both Gov. Engler and Gov. Granholm. He is passionate about public service and protecting our state’s environment. The situation in Flint is serious and challenging. We will continue to work closely with the task force and city leaders as we move forward, committed to protecting the health of people living in Flint and around our state.

Senate Majority Leader and Mr. Speaker: Below is 2 statement being released today relative to the Flint water. Please take note that the Governor reluctantly accepted Dan Wyant’s resignation as the Director of DEG, He is a great public servant who totally turned the culture of the DEQ around during his tenure, He will be missed. Bick

Here is a statement from the Governor that will go out around 2-2:30 p.m. to the media. We'll also give a heads up to executive staffers and some others. - Meegan When | became aware that the city of Flint’s water showed elevated lead levels and that the state’s handling of the situation was being questioned, | requested funding to switch the source back to the Great Lakes Water Authority and appointed an independent task force to identify possible missteps and areas for improvement. The task force has done an exceptional job, reviewing stacks of documents and interviewing scores of Flint, Genesee County, state and federal officials. Although the task force’s final report is not yet completed, it has made me aware of some interim findings and corrective steps that | have decided to take immediately in order to restore trust in how the state keeps its citizens safe and informed. We'll continue to work with the community members to make sure we hear and respond to their concerns. In addition, MDEQ Director Dan Wyant has offered his resignation, and I’ve determined that it’s appropriate to accept it. I’m also making other personnel changes at MDEQ to address problems cited by the task force. But changes in leadership and staff are not enough. | understand there can be disagreements within the scientific community. That is why | have directed both the departments of Environmental Quality and Health and Human Services to invite every external scientist who has worked on this issue to be our partners in helping us improve Flint water. Let’s share research on water and blood lead level testing so we can arrive at accurate and mutually supported conclusions. Together, we should work to affirm that we’re using the very best testing protocols to ensure Flint residents have safe drinking water and that we’re taking steps to protect their health over the short and long term. | want the Flint community to know how very sorry | am that this has happened. And | want all Michigan citizens to know that we will learn from this experience, because Flint is not the only city that has an aging infrastructure. | know many Flint citizens are angry and want more than an apology. That’s why I’m taking the actions today to ensure a culture of openness and trust. We’ve already allocated $10 million to test the water, distribute water filters, and help in other ways. Last week, | called Flint Mayor Karen Weaver, and we’re going to meet soon to discuss other ways the state can offer assistance. These are only initial steps - we fully expect to take more actions following the recommendations of our task force. When it comes to matters of health and quality of life, we’re committed to doing everything we can to protect the well- being of our citizens. Meegan Holland Director of Communications for Gov.

Absolutely. | think that is Jarrad’s recommendation to the Gov also but he'll have to confirm that. it's worth noting that Wayne Workmari met with Natasha Henderson (the city manager we put in and a less than stellar choice) and told her that she needs to find an accommodation with the Mayor or she’s out. By the way, Wayne Workman announced his retirement yesterday effective Feb. 1, so the guy who is the mast knowledgeable and most talented Treasury bureaucrat we have (alongside of whizbang Tom Saxton} is quitting. That is a heck of a hole te fill, so we need to encourage Torn to stay (he's wavering}.

| know just enough about the Flint situation to be dangerous so if the following doesn’t make sense let me know. | have talked to both Senator Ananich and Representative Neely. They like the Governor and appreciate his efforts in Flint. However, they believe because of the combination of the water issue, the “take over” issue, and the approach that Darnell and/or the city manager is taking that it has created a great deal of animosity in Flint. | asked Rep. Neely if the Governor could only do one thing what would you have him do to improve the situation. He said to give the new mayor the ability to appoint some of her own executive staff (legal counsel, etc) that aren’t involved with the finances (much like we did in Detroit). Is this something we should consider? Dick xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0213_0502_0502_1

Team, Here’s the release announcing the Flint Water Task Force. Members met this morning and had considerable input in this. Our plan is to issue the release around 2:30 p.m. Please let me know if you have suggested changes. Thank you! Dave Gov. Rick Snyder announces Flint Water Task Force to review state, federal and municipal actions, offer recommendations Experts in public health, water management, environmental protection to focus on steps to protect residents LANSING, Mich. — Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the creation of an independent advisory task force charged with reviewing actions regarding water use and testing in Flint and offer recommendations for future guidelines to protect the health and safety of all state residents. Task force members include experts in public health and medicine, water management, and environmental protection from both sides of the aisle, and will be co-chaired by Ken Sikkema of Public Sector Consultants and Chris Kolb, of the Michigan Environmental Council. Also serving will be Dr. Matthew Davis of the University of Michigan Health System, Eric Rothstein, of the Galardi Rothstein Group and Dr. Lawrence Reynolds of Mott Children’s Health Center in Flint. “Transitioning back to the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department-Great Lakes Water Authority is a good first step to protecting public health in Flint, but it’s not the last step,” Snyder said. “Bringing in outside experts to evaluate our actions and help monitor and advise on potential changes to law, procedures and practices will be key to continuing work on the comprehensive action plan and ensuring safe drinking water for all the residents in Flint and all of Michigan.” Snyder said the administration will fully cooperate with task force members, saying he wants an unbiased report focusing on steps taken in the past and recommendations that could improve practices to ensure all residents have access to safe, clean water. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0053_0098_0100_1 Ken Sikkema is a senior policy fellow at Public Sector Consultants, where he specializes in public finance, environment, and energy policy. Prior to joining the firm, Sikkema served in both the Michigan House and Senate, culminating with four years as Senate majority leader. He has also served as both an adjunct and visiting professor at Grand Valley State University. Chris Kolb is president of the Michigan Environmental Council, a statewide coalition of 70 environmental, public health and faith-based nonprofit groups. Before joining the MEC, Kolb represented Ann Arbor in the state House for six years and served six years on the Ann Arbor City Council. He has been president of the MEC for six years. Matthew Davis, M.D., M.A.P.P., is professor of pediatrics and internal medicine at the University of Michigan Health System and professor of public policy at the Gerald R. Ford School at the University of Michigan, having joined the faculty in 2000. Davis also is a professor of health management and policy at the School of Public Health. He previously served as the chief medical executive of the Michigan Department of Community Health/Department of Health and Human Services. Eric Rothstein is a national water issues consultant and principal at the Galardi Rothstein Group. He served as an independent advisor on the creation of the Great Lakes Water Authority. Rothstein also has served as Jefferson County, Alabama’s rate consultant and municipal adviser for litigation related to the county’s bankruptcy and issuance of $1.7 billion in sewer warrants and led strategic financial planning for the City of Atlanta’s Department of Watershed Management. He has more than 30 years of experience in water, wastewater and stormwater utility finance and rate-making assessments. Lawrence Reynolds, M.D., is a pediatrician in Flint who serves as president of the Mott Children’s Health Center.

He has served as president of the Genesee County Medical Society and the Michigan Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He has been honored for his humanitarian and advocacy efforts on behalf of children from the Community Foundation of Greater Flint. Snyder has said reconnecting with the authority is a critical step to resolving water quality issues and addressing related health concerns. It will not immediately 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. To best protect public health, state and local authorities will continue to carry out steps outlined on Oct. 2 ina 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 are continuing to provide free 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.

Dick, Here’s the talking points & messaging from DEQ on the internal changes announced today. DEQ Director Dan Wyant today made the following statement as he announced DEQ Chief Deputy Jim Sygo will immediately assume the role of interim chief of the department's Office of Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance: "It recently has become clear that our drinking water program staff made a mistake while working with the City of Flint. Simply stated, staff employed a federal protocol they believed was appropriate, and it was not. The water testing steps followed would have been correct for a city less than 50,000 people, but not for a city of nearly 100,000. As details of the situation emerge, | am convinced our program staff believed they were doing their job right. As the state recognized there could be a health threat to Flint residents, we took appropriate steps. We are now embarked on an unprecedented effort to safeguard Flint residents and families with near-term, intermediate and long-term actions to protect and educate city residents. The issue in DEQ is experience and protocol with respect to corrosion control. The Governor has called for an independent, third-party after-action review. | have taken the step of changing leadership in the division. We are working with our federal partners and committed to being part of the U.S. EPA's effort to strengthen its Lead and Copper rule. All who brought this issue to the department deserve credit for bringing it forward. Lead is a serious issue, particularly for young people, and we take it seriously. The Governor's plan incorporates the suggestions outlined by the EPA and researchers at Virginia Tech. We will learn from this. We will make necessary changes to see to it that our program becomes a national leader in public health protection.” KEY MESSAGES: 1. It is increasingly clear through internal review at DEQ that staff overseeing drinking water mistakenly applied the wrong federal protocol when the city of Flint switched to the Flint River. 2. Today's announcement of new leadership in that division aligns with the states goal: make sure the public health is protected in Flint and elsewhere in the state, and ensure we learn from this so it never happens again. 3. The governor's action plan continues to protect kids and families in Flint, with the switch back to Detroit water last week, free water filtration for all city residents, and inspection of all Flint schools for lead exposure. 1 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0225_0517_0518_1 4. Flint families who are concerned are encouraged to take advantage of free home water testing through the city and blood lead level testing for children. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0225_0517_0518_2
