Flint —Weekly Call
12/09/15
Present:
Mayor Weaver
N. Henderson
Council President Nelson
W. Lamphiery
R. Byrne
E. Cline
P. Dostine
D, Hudson
A. Heimann
Not Present:
F. Headen
Water Issue:
1. EPA- Corrosion control updates are happening daily
2. “Spill containment” is final step before corrosion control
3. Will start corrosion control “today or tomorrow”, but to date, they have not yet
introduced the anti-corrosion Ortho phosphates.
Public Safety:
1. Homicides are up in Flint. N. Henderson is confident that the new initiatives and partnerships
will help reduce the number of violent crimes in the City, but these initiatives have not started
yet.
2. Fires are down in the City significantly.
e Concerns that this drop will affect their ability to receive federal grants
e Looking for funding to receive an “Areal Truck” which will help them reach the tallest
building in the City. Right now, any fire in that area requires assistance from
partnerships with other communities. This type of ladder truck will cost and estimated
$1M at least.
3. Dispatch arrangement is “working well”:
e N Henderson told a story about meeting with a patrolmen who told her that he liked that
they check in every hour.
¢ Mayor sits on the council as the representative from the City
Legal issues:
1. Lost current head of counsel (did not catch the name)
¢ Will be filled with an interim, Tony Chubb. Chubb is currently the interim head of
Human Resources
e Vacancy as interim in HR will be filled by Charlie Mclendon, who is the City’s Labor
Dispute counsel
xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b26_3730_4111_034
2. Water litigation
e Current lawsuit to stop the city from collecting water bills had been adjourned on
December 8th, will be back in court on the 18"
e Unclear whether or not this issue will be decided before Christmas
© Have submitted a letter of request to the Treasury to help them pay for legal fees in
this case
Financial issues:
1. Still have a spending freeze in the City
e Delinquent water bills are still not getting paid
2. State revenues, loan sources
e City and Representative Kildee are looking for loan forgiveness from the State
« Have had meetings with the DEQ to discuss Revolving Loan Fund — “Green Projects”
© Fund requires that the city have a “reliability study” done, and though the City
already has a standard reliability study conducted, they are required to do a
special one. This may result in them asking for some money from the Treasury.
« Audit has been completed, should have a small positive general fund fund balance.
Public Relations
1. Jason Lorenz “no longer works with the City”
2. Townhall meeting
¢ Both the Mayor and N. Henderson attended, as well as over 200 participants
e Topics/presentation included: Water, Public Safety, Economic Development (Though
there wasn’t much time to talk about ED)

3 2:02 p.m.
4 THE CHAIRPERSON: The meeting will please be
5 in order. The time is 2:03.
6 First item of business roll call, please.
7 Let the record reflect that all four members of the
8 RTAB are present.
9 Item B, the Approval of the Agenda. I wish
10 to note two amendments to the Agenda:
1a One is under New Business, Item C 1,
12 Resolutions of the City Council meeting of
13 October 12th, 2015, Resolutions 872 and 875 were
14 already approved by the RTAB at its October meeting, so
15 please remove those two resolutions.
16 And then, secondly, with regards to -- still
17 under New Business, Resolutions from the Regular City
18 Council meeting of November 9th, there are four
19 resolutions listed there. But, upon further review,
20 there were no actions taken by the City Council at that
21 meeting that requires any approval by the RTAB so we'll
22 strike Item Number 3 in its entirety.
23 Are there other additions or changes to the
24 agenda, for this afternoon's meeting?
25 If not, 18 there a motion that the motion --

that the agenda, as amended, be approved?
MR. McMAHAN: So move.
MR. McGHEE: Support.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Without objection, the
amended agenda is approved.
Item C, the approval of the October 14, 2015
RTAB meeting minutes. There's Attachment 1. Are there
any corrections or additions to those minutes?
If not, is there a motion that the minutes of
October 14 be approved at written?
MR. McGHEE: So move.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Is there support?
MR. MCMAHAN: Support.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Without objection, minutes
of October 14 are approved.
Item 2, Unfinished Business, there is none.
Item 3, New Business, we have a standing
agenda item for the Mayor and City Council President.
we wish to welcome the new mayor who’s here with us
this afternoon,
Madam Mayor, we're glad to have you here. If
you have any comments you'd like to make to this Board,
please feel free. We're not going to hold you to the
regular two minutes under Public Comment.
MAYOR WEAVER: Well, thank you. And I am

glad to be here. And I'm glad to have had the
opportunity to now have met everybody on the RTAB.
Some of you I knew and now I've met everybody so I just
wanted to say I'm glad that that's happened now.
What I did was to go through the last set of
minutes to see what had been reported out on so I did
want to give an update about the last report. And, if
you look at that, it was, of course, talking about
water.
So I do want to let you know that water is
still our top priority here in the City of Flint. And,
while we have made the move to go back to Detroit
water, we still have issues with lead exposure. And so
one of the things we have to be mindful of is that the
community is still taking the necessary precautions, we
don't want them to get comfortable and relaxed and
think, okay, we've made this switch and everything is
okay. So we want to keep that up in people's mind.
But I have met with the State and what they
have said is that they’ve agreed to continue to support
the filter program. And, in fact, when we had our
Town Hall meeting last night, we gave some out. And
what we're doing differently is we're giving the
replacements out along with the filters. But they have
agreed to continue to support the filter program, so

we're pleased about that. We've got to continue to
monitor the Detroit water and utilize the best
technical expertise that we have available.
One of my concerns is that we know that, when
the phosphate gets added, what we've been told is that
there's going to be a visual impact and, while that's
okay, I think it's going to be alarming to the
community because they're going to say that, “You can't
tell me cloudy water is good.”
And so one of the things we know we have to
do 1s we're going to do an increase with our PSAs
because we do want to let them know ahead of time what
to expect and -- but -- but that's the concern as -- is
the trust factor.
So we're trying to work on that trust factor
and let people know what's going on. And we've been
doing -- I think -- I believe we've been doing a really
good job with notifying the public and letting them
know what the issues are and what we've been doing and
the necessary steps that we've been taking. But I know
that's going to raise red flags for them, even though
we know that's what's to be expected.
And what I was told was that that would last
anywhere from two to four months before we get to that
maintenance dose. So we just need to let the public be

aware and we can continue.
And when I spoke with Lynn Meyers and
Julie Wells, they're going to continue that lead
education program. But, because of everything that's
going on, we do know that we still need State and
Federal funding to help deal with this problem. So
we're going to be working diligently towards that
accomplishment. Flint needs help and we know that we
don't have the funds necessary to be able to make all
of the changes and to provide the supports that are
needed.
So that's just my update from the last report
that was given. So I did want to have the opportunity
to share that with you and let you know what our
concerns are and what we're doing.
Thank you.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you.
MR. MCGHEE: Thank you.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Madam Mayor.
Council President Nelson?
MR. NELSON: Good afternoon.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Good afternoon.
MR. NELSON: I think most of you know me.

Madam Mayor, the City Administrator, we've come here
and we've talked and meet.
And briefly, you know, water is our top
priority; the Mayor stressed that from day one in her
Town Hall meeting, she stressed it, again, to bring
that trust back in this community and I think that's
what we want across the board.
I will be at these meetings. I will not take
this mic unless there is a difference in opinion. But,
other than that, I will be here. I'm at your disposal,
if you need us. Council Member VanBuren is here and
Council Member Mays is always here. So you do have
Council here present at all times.
Thank you.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Thank you.
Item B is the proposed 2016 Meeting Schedule
for the RTAB, which we have an Attachment 2. Any
questions or comments about that?
MR. MCMAHAN: Not at this time.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Is there a -- a motion,
then, that the proposed meeting schedule of 2016 for
the RTAB be approved?
MS. WALKER-GRIFFEA: So moved.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Is there support?
MR. MCMAHAN: Support.
