RE: Altemative Proposal for Sale of Water Transmission Main
DATE: May 28, 2014
On May 12, 2014, Emergency Manager Darnell Earley presented to the Flint City Council
a proposal for sale of a portion of the 72 inch water transmission main to the Genesee County
Drain Commissioner.
A special meeting of the Flint City Council was held on Monday, May 19, 2014 to discuss
the proposal. Pursuant to MCL 141.1559(2), Council adopted a resolution rejecting the proposal.
A second special meeting was scheduled on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 for the purpose of
discussing an alternative proposal.
At the May 21* meeting, Council members acknowledged they did not have an alternative
proposal. However, pursuant to a motion by Councilman Sheldon Neeley, a resolution was
adopted recommending the water main sale price be increased to $4 million dollars, with equal
payments over two years.
Pursuant to MCL 141.1559(2), Council had seven (7) days from the date of their rejection
of the proposed action to submit to the local emergency financial assistant loan board an alternative
proposal that would yield substantially the same financial result as the action proposed by the

Emergency Manager. Accordingly, the deadline for submission of Council’s alternative proposal
was Tuesday, May 27, 2014.
Council did not submit an alternative proposal to the local emergency financial assistant
loan board.
