Flint Water infrastructure funding options

We've been asked to put together a couple of pages for the Governor on financing options for pipe replacement in Flint Let’s assume a $100m project 1 found the 1/19 document titled “water infrastructure improvements...” It’s a good start What I need is a memo that lays out the options for the Gov (1) SRO—basically just incorporate John’s SRO Federal government proposal (2) G.O options—CMI, GLWQ (quality of life bonds doesn’t seem big enough to mention) (3) Revenue bonds—bottle deposit, etc Are there other options we should discuss? Non-state dollars? For each, a short write up on pros and cons John—can you take the lead drafting something tomorrow? | know its short notice, but hopefully most of the work has been done already Thanks xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b39_6977_7316_143 suondg uoyeJsuey onusAdy pure usessoI1g sJUSWIDAOICUIT JINIONIJSLIFUT JOISAY xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b39_6977_7316_144 eet g Se Toh a Sei Sheree aBayiaud jueyo 0} joelqns “IVLLNACIANOD esodind SIU} JO} PSPUSLULUODSJ JOU a’e JNg paJojdxe useq sAey Spuog enuensd Alejo] pue uoHeziNoes OD9e QO} ‘sisAjeue siuj Jo uedsy < soBueyo jjlg ej}j0g J0/pue ebesn puny wsodeg ayjog «< suoijdo ssauaal6so} Vdq Jo/pue (,,4YMAAC,,) pun4 Bulajoasy s912A/A Buryuug (.V4W,) SAoujny soueul4 ueBIYsIyy OY} yo UONEZINN < (,LOMID,) Wesboid Ayjen® sayeqy Seye7}eAH - «SPuog ayI7 Jo Ayjend, se UMOUY OS|e “(,.dd3,,) WesHOlJg UONDS}Ol_ JEJUSWUOJAUZ GIND,,) Weibord aavenu| uebiYyoIWj ues} SPU0gG OD S}EIS < SJUDLUSAOIAUU!

SB 136 language

From
Ken Osborne
Nick, in looking at SCR 23, which is what Rep. Poleski’s language references, it appears to be a hard end date of the declaration of emergency in Flint to April 14, 2016. The House’s intent is that April 14 would serve as the hard end date- so bills including that date would be the last billing period the credit would apply to. State Budget Office is reviewing the language as well to make sure they are interpreting it the same way. (heard from Michelle Lange in the Gov’s office this evening though, and they were concerned about a hard date. She was awaiting word from Dick about where they are at. | did share with her your perspective that in a practical sense the $30 million is estimated to cover April 2014 to April 2016, so to cover additional time would potentially require the legislature to revisit the issue anyway. Will let you know if I hear from her this evening yet.

{ met with Rep. Poleski during House Session today. He is working on boilerplate to provide some additional guidance/ audit requirements for the money appropriated for credits. Will share the language when | get it, likely this afternoon or tomorrow. The plan is for the bill to be up in House Appropriations next Wednesday at 9 a.m. How do we want to handle that? Nick, do you want to testify? If Howard and | are to cover it we'll need to spend some time getting a better understanding of the details. Michelle Lange and Scott Starr were also present for the meeting, | told them we would coordinate with them, and DEQ for purposes of the hearing next week. About how we want to handle next week. But from my conversations with staff and members | think Treasury wil! be the subject of most of the questions on this. Finally, Rep. Poleski has been looking at the financial statements for the Flint water system and noted that water and sewer were accounted for separately. | know this came up in our previous meeting with house staff, but he was very interested whether bills were also segregated between water and sewer and whether we could ensure that credits were authorized only for the water portion of the bills.

FWICC Subcommittee

| miss one meeting, and look what happens We are the “KWA Subcommittee” of the FWIC My understanding, and why | what to check-in with you, is we are to address 3 questions (our 3 objectives): (1) Can we update some of the basic assumptions underlying the city’s transition to KWA? What has changed since the original estimates? Are the updated transition costs reflected in the city’s sewer / water cash flows? (2) What are Flint’s dollar commitments to KWA (both amount and timing)? (3) Can we update projections for Flint resident’s future water rates? What is driving future rates in the city? I think the tasks fall into: (1) Update the prior analysis with revised estimates, including transition / construction costs and the costs for the upgrade of the Flint Water Treatment Plant (2) Given reasonable assumptions, project typical Flint water rates for the next 5 and 10 years We still need to work up a specific work plan and schedule, but the goal is to report back to the full committee by mid- April Please let me know you thoughts I'll try and schedule a quick call early next week, or we can use group email if that’s easier Nick 13 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b39_6977_7316_033 Pleyte, Beth (T reasury)

I miss one meeting, and look what happens We are the “KWA Subcommittee” of the FWIC My understanding, and why I what to check-in with you, is we are to address 3 questions (our 3 objectives): xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b39_6977_7316_001 (1) What is the updated, long-term, financial cost/benefit analysis for Flint residents of KWA vs staying with DWSD? (2) What are Flint’s formal commitments to KWA? (3) What are updated projections for Flint resident's water rates? What is driving future rates in the city? I think the tasks fall into: (1) Update the prior cost/benefit analysis with revised estimates, including transition costs (2) Review the long term assumptions of Flint rates if they stay with DWSD (3) Agree on any non-financial reasons for Flint to choose one option or the other (4) Review bond covenants and other contractual relations between Flint and KWA (5) Given reasonable assumptions, project typical Flint water rates for the next 5 and 10 years We still need to work up a specific work plan and schedule, but the goal is to report back to the full committee by early June Please let me know you thoughts xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b39_6977_7316_002 Cline, Richard (T. reasury)

RE: FWICC Policy Subcommittee

From
Marc Edwards
To
Mike Zimmer , Nick Khouri , Larry Steckelberg , Creagh
This sounds reasonable to me. At present | do not understand what interagency protocols mean, or statewide policy, but we can work that out as we go. | assume it means something to everyone else, Also, please include Yanna on this, as she is likely going to be an expert on the panel working on the lead and copper rule changes. Marc

FWICC Policy Subcommittee

To
Nick Khouri , Larry Steckelberg
Good Morning: I have been asked to chair the FWICC Policy Subcommittee on which you have all been selected to serve. Our subcommittee has been assigned three general priorities/tasks: 1) Interagency Protocols 2) Statewide Policy 3) Lead and Copper Rule Change Recommendations Of these, I think the Lead and Copper Rule Change Recommendations is the more straightforward - although certainly not the simplest. Interagency Protocols may prove more multifaceted as it could include protocols between state agencies, between state and local agencies, and between state and federal partners. The last, Statewide Policy, is at this point a holding category that could review implementation of policies requested by other work groups or items of interest to the committee members. We have been asked to get our finalized list of priorities to Harvey by Thursday morning at 10:00. Given the short time frame and the fact that many of you serve on multiple subcommittees, at this point I am asking that you get back to me by COB tomorrow (Wednesday) indicating whether you agree with my reading of our assignments or would like any changes or modifications. Also, if there are any items on our list that are of particular interest to any of you, please note that. I will be having my assistant, Diane Burton, reach out to you so that we can set up a telephone conference early next week to discuss scoping out our priorities and assign specific tasks, metrics, and timelines. T look forward to working with all of you. Mike Mike Zimmer, Director Dept. of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs 611 W.

Re: emergency managers

| would agree schools are more challenging because of the ‘academic side’ and the way they are funded... While it may be a pretty low bar in terms of gauging success | would say Muskegon Hts & HPS could be mentioned... The schools have stabilized. There was not the disruption associated with a dissolution. There is community support. The reason we have had to keep EMs place is somewhat tied to the fact they are psa districts. Pontiac schools has beena ‘success’. Again, when we first got involved they were a week or two from making payroll. That situation involves a consent agreement not a EM. The ‘jury’ is still out om BHS. DPS is in a category by itself.
