With the declaration apparently the Mayor is appealing for Fed help to Cong. Kildee. That seems reasonable.

| 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

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)
