Flint

A lot of complaints about Natasha these days. Of course, I have a lot of complaints about myself and this Flint thing. If I had acted more quickly on some of my minister's complaints we at least would have had a more robust discussion. Do we have a copy of the Veolia conclusions somewhere? xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b35_5648_6098_143 Dempkowski, Angela (T reasury)

KWA

Can we cail the Drain Commissioner immediately and encourage him to put a press on to complete KWA? xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_170 STATE or MICHIGAN RICK SNYDER EXECUTIVE OFFICE BRIAN CALLEY GOVERNOR LANSING LT, GOVERNOR CONTACTS: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sara Wurfel or Dave Murray, Governor's Office September 29, 2015 517-335-6397 Terry Stanton, Department of Treasury 517-335-2167 Gov. Rick Snyder awards Flint $2 million in Distressed Cities grants for water system infrastructure improvements Funding to be used for leak detection, waste incinerator replacement LANSING, Mich. — Gov. Rick Snyder today awarded Flint $2 million in grants for water system infrastructure improvements, part of an overall $8 million plan to help cities through the Financially Distressed Cities, Villages, and Townships Grant Program. Flint is among six municipalities receiving grants through the program. The city will use the funding to detect leaks in its water lines and replace its Water Pollution Control Facility Incinerator. “There are opportunities for the state government to assist Flint city leaders as they address issues related to the city’s water system,” Snyder said. “These grants will help recovering cities improve public services and infrastructure, improving the quality of life for ail residents.” The grants to Flint were announced today at the Haskell Community Center by Harvey Hollins, director of the state’s Office of Urban Initiatives and Wayne Workman, the state’s deputy treasurer. They were joined by Dan Wyant, director of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Flint Emergency Manager Jerry Ambrose, Mayor Dayne Walling, state Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich, state Reps. Sheldon Neeley and Phil Phelps. Flint was awarded $900,000 to aliow the city to hire a contractor to perform a leak detection survey of the city water lines. The city will receive a map of leak locations and an assessment of leak severity, allowing the city to prioritize leak repair. The project also covers the expense of conducting a water pipe line wall thickness condition assessment on a portion of the city’s pipes. The assessment will guide the city’s water main replacement program. The city also was awarded $1.1 million to shut down its current Water Pollution Control Facility incinerator and replace it with new facilities which will allow for the disposal of waste in landfills. The existing facilities are not up to federal Environmental Protection Agency standards. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_171 Municipalities are eligible for the grants of they are experiencing one or more conditions indicative of “probable financial stress,” as defined by Public Act 436 of 2012, the Local Financial Stability and Choice Act. Under the grant program, funding may be used to pay for specific projects, services, or strategies that move a city, village, or township toward financial stability. There was $8 million appropriated for the program with a $2 million cap, per local unit. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_172 Koryzno, Edward (T. reasury)

| know that I’m a broken record on this one, but | need some specific attention to Flint today. | need you all to reconstruct a timeline of events from the records we have relating to the Flint KWA DWSD controversy as it is becoming unwieldy. Please go back and review the Flint procedures and find the initial decision making process relating to the switchover. The first time | remember it is in 2012 (August | think) when the county started pitching the project at council. Then we instituted Mike Brown as EM and from there on it became to a certain extent our problem. However, if | remember right, this was a Flint idea from the start. Then, if you can trace the financial drivers of the decision to present day it would be important. | think for the most part the explanation you had in the distressed cities reports were helpful...my point being that this was an idea to help the city survive and without drastic changes it wouldn’t have, KWA being one of them. We'll take any other ideas that you have. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0853_2234_2234_1

Flint asks Snyder for $30M to upgrade water system Associated Water from the Flint River rushes into the Flint water treatment plant in Flint.(Photo: File photo) xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_080 1 CONNECTTWEETLINKEDIN 2 COMMENTEMAILMORE Flint — The mayor of Flint is asking Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder for $30 million to help upgrade the city’s water system and replace lead service pipes. The Flint Journal reports Mayor Dayne Walling announced his request while speaking Monday to the City Council. The request was made that day in a letter to Snyder. The funds sought by Walling include $10 million to replace lead service lines and plumbing that can leach lead into drinking water. Virginia Tech researchers testing Flint’s water have said residents shouldn’t drink or cook with city water without flushing lines or using a filter. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says Flint’s water is within levels allowed for lead. The agency has said it would help the city in its efforts to reduce lead. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_081 Workman, Wayne (TREASURY)

Fwd: Contaminated Drink Water if Flint

Might want to get Jarrod and Terry Stanton on this as well as Harvey. Otherwise it will get out of hand. It's in the city's long term interest to make the KWA work and we can make the river water safe, but we need to work with the ministers this week to help them out. It's tough for everyday people to listen to financial issues and water mumbo jumbo when all they see is problems. You can't expect the ministers to hold the tide on this problem. How about cutting a deal with Ice Mountain or Bill Young and buying some water for the people for atime? $250K buys a lot of drinking water and we could distribute it through the churches while we continue to make the water even safer. If we procrastinate much longer in doing something direct we'll have real trouble. Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:
