Updated draft of Flint Water Task Force response

Good morning, team. Here’s a new draft of the Flint Task Force response letter incorporating suggestions from Rich. Please let me know if there additional changes | should make, or if you think there are points that need to be included. Our goals is to have a letter that can be shared later today. Thank you! Dave Flint Water Advisory Task Force Members, Thank you for your correspondence on Dec. 7, and, most importantly, for your hard work to promote public health and protect our residents as we move forward. Your efforts are both respected and appreciated. As acknowledged in your letter, we have taken many steps to address the challenges in Flint as they relate to reducing lead exposure. | am pleased to see the progress since October, and recognize there is more work that must be done to ensure that this progress continues. At the state level, there has been a confluence of efforts between Michigan Departments of Environmental Quality and Health and Human Services to coordinate with the Genesee County Health Department, local schools, and our partners in the non-profit community. These partners are making progress, and we know we can always strive to improve practices and communication for continual improvement. You make a solid suggestion about establishing a person who is independent of any one of the involved state agencies or organizations to serve as the point person to coordinate the ongoing work. | am recommending that Harvey Hollins, director of the Office of Urban Initiatives, carry out this effort. Harvey is well-versed in the issue and the challenges faced by our cities and will be effective in this role. He will be assisted by senior members of our executive team to ensure you will have the continued support and cooperation that you need. We also have retained Chris DeWitt, a veteran communications specialist, to strengthen community outreach efforts to make sure residents have access to the information they need. | also support your suggestion of a dashboard to make information about our work and progress more accessible to the Flint community. These are critical measures that can be used as we look the challenges and progress in Flint, but also can be a part of efforts moving forward in other areas of our state. It’s important that people have confidence that we are working to address any problems and will take the necessary actions to improve interaction among city, state and federal agencies. We also will continue to work with the medical community to consider how we can work together on wraparound needs of children who might experience health problems. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0580_1869_1870_1 People in Flint and across our state deserve safe, clean water. | want them to be confident that the water coming out of their tap is safe for their families. And | want them to trust that their government — at all levels — is working effectively to protect them. | thank you again for investing your time and expertise to this vitally important effort. Regards, xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0580_1869_1870_2

RE: Flint

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}.

RE: state money for detroit water

Importance: High So scunieds like based on conf call that was just fae, that for same reason the city did indeed agree to all up front. Clearly don’t want to throw city under the bus as that’s cartainly not going help situation, but since having them do that tous as has already started, clease see below bullets. Fact based and shows state’s immiuadiate action to again heli address. Work? Any cornmcerns ar changes? * The initial agreement and understanding was for rnonthiy payrnents. # lLinbeknownst to the state, the city entered inte an arrangement for one upfront sum and payment. e Now that we are aware of this and have confirmed that final arrangement, the state is taking steps to immediately wire the rnoney to the city.

RE: Earley Flint Water OpEd-FOR REVIEW AND INPUT

| know that no one is going to want te do this, but | don’t feel that itis unfair for Darnell ta set the record straight. This should be a decision for the G, Jarrod and Ban, however, my guess is that Darnell is not going to quietly accept the abuse of the Flint peoole without having his voice heard.

Request 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.

RE: URGENT review please -- Draft Flint water release

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.
