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}.
That's what | suggested; however after given it second thought, | think a simple reply should go something like:
"Thank you for your concerns regarding Flint. I've established a task force of experts who will advise us how to proceed,
and | will be more than happy to send you their findings to you."
Best,
Harvey Hollins Ill, Director
Governor’s Office of Urban Initiatives

Please see below.
We're going to address by noting that this move to was something that community had supported as well, that
we know Darnell cares deeply about kids and the residents he serves, but that primarily we're focused on future
and all the steps we are taking in collaboration with all parties to ensure that Flint has safe drinking water and
we're protecting public health, and that we will be conducting a full after action review.
Let me know ASAP if anyone has any concerns with that or other tweaks/ideas, otherwise, that's what we're
going with.
Thanks and best,
SW

cette Not Responsive == Shes the one who told me in late July
“that the city did not to have any part in delivering the 1500 filters we eourell because their position was that the
water was safe to drink. She is also the one to shoot down the firm the Rich got to come to Lansing to present
new technology to treat the water by using far less chemicals the city was currently using. Smh

Thanks.

we lst the narnes we'll undoubtedly miss someone, Great idea, but i don’t think it wil work. For instance, the kids ir
the Bay County districts are raising money for water purchases in the schools and you wouldn't want to leave them
out. The Health Endowment Fund really daesn’t deserve a lot of credit but theyll want it anyway, etc., ate.
I would add Latrell Holmes, Amy Hovey and Jamie Gaskin.

Ethink the Drain Comrnissioner, Ananich, Neely, Phelps, and the two ministers who were leading the
effort, Pastors Overton and Harris?
Hi Corey,
Harvey would like the following Flint pastors invited to the press conference on Thursday. | can
provide contact information or contact them for you.
Pastor Oscar Overton
Pastor Alfred Harris
Pastor Latrelle Holmes

What if they are shut ing or can’t get there? Where’s the rellef coming from? is the Filnt Transit Authority willing to
axtend complimentary transpertetion? Who is gning to exmlain to the recipients how the filter fits on their faucet?
| know from experience that my wife never grew up building things out of Erector Sets, and she’s terrible at reading
“part a atteches to part b with two bolts enclosed in the third packet, Don't use the ones marked only for Delta faucets
oh, you get the point.
”
dust a suggestion from a syntax point of view, the construction of the first sentence appears to allay anyone whoisa
DHHS client and anyone who is a Flint resident to receive a water filter. Itisn’t clear that it applies to a person whois a
Flint resident who receives public assistance and not to other Hint residents. Secondly, don't forget that other Hint
residents alse should be entitied to a water filter and although the press release is about DHHS clients, we don’t want to
create additional confusion. A thraw-away line about the other residents might be wise.
How are we protecting the citizens of Flint from profiteers selling water filters?
How do we get the filters installed for the elderly and the poor, or frankly for any citizen who doesn’t have the means or
ability to install one?

Hello Sara,
My name is Damon Maloney with ABC12 News in Flint.
I'm writing to inquire about a meeting being held tomorrow morning in Lansing between the Governor's Office and the
group ‘Concerned Pastors for Social Action’ from Flint.
We're hearing the meeting centers around Flint's water quality concerns and is scheduled for sometime around 9 o'clock.
From my understanding this meeting won't be open to the public, but I'm wondering if we can at least have a location of
where it's taking place? We'll be looking for reaction after the meeting from locals.
Thank you,
Damon Maloney

{ think the deal is set for the Foundation to get $250,000 te S300,0(4) fram the Health Endowment Fund if they fallow
through with the amendment. Those jerks frorn Progress Michigan {what a joke that they use that nama} criticized us
for helping the ministers with the filters.
Please see below. Not sure what status of our outreach and plans on water filters is? Perhaps we were involved in this
GM effort indirectly or directly already. That said, there may be value in combining or coordinating.
Let's talk, please. Want to make sure we're all on same page internally first.
Thanks!
