Dan, Thanks for putting this draft together. | agree with Rich's edits, and the attached document has my recommendations. Also, | suggest we add the following departments to comment on this document as the issue in Flint now goes beyond water quality: Treasury, MSP and Dept. of Education. I've taken the liberty to solicit comments from the added directors through this reply. Best, Harvey ~——Original Message-----

Dan: l added Jarrod and Meegan since we were engaged with Harvey and with Governor Thursday morning last week. | may be advocating a higher degree of "aggression" than others deem proper and | will defer to Jarrod after having had my say. My key points on the attached (with suggested language and which have been highlighted) are: 1). Apologize. it happened on our watch and it shouldn't have happened, no matter what the law says. 2). Invite those who were the biggest burrs under the saddle to come work with us. In fact, we should be articulating how they have already been invited to our labs to collaborate on the findings and conclusions. 3). Start framing the infrastructure problem. We have huge problems throughout the state with aged piping and plumbing. Ignoring it will be at the peril of future generations. We should put a number out there on what it is going to take to fix it or conclude it is safe for generations to come. Thanks for taking the lead.

Thanks for the FYI Nick. Santana is looking for about 400 filters to get to Hispanic families from a distribution spot taking address information only for tracking purposes without having to disclose names. The solution for that population, who might be concerned about ICE, is to have them obtain the filters from alternative donors other than the state. | will follow up with Santana.

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? xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0901_2308_2308_1

Thank you, you're always ahead of us. i don’t have any reservations about the PC, although as | mentioned | don’t see any reason to have Mr. Sienko, as we have a ter notch professional in Eden Wells and certainly Tim and Geralyn if need

( think this information is very helpful. It will not answer the main question about the quality of the water (DEQ is working on that through Brad | believe), and the color and smell of the present water, but it does get us to the answers to the less subjective issues. Frankly, the only way the issues will be totally resolved is when the KWA comes on line and the water is perceived to be cleaner and healthier. | am somewhat surprised that the leadership in Flint has not responded better to the community questions, which don’t seem unreasonable at all. Seems like Harvey has a better network into some of the neighborhoods than the city does. The KWA PR department definitely needs to do some outreach or they're headed down the same road as DWSD. Do you know if they go out on a regular basis to the community and talk about the rates, costs, etc.?
