He initially will work full time to catch the township up in the books. Produce a cash flow analysis from Aug till Dec. Work up till the end of the year. Treasury recommended the new accountant stay on pass the end of the fiscal and perhaps even longer. The work is needed. o Montgomery has reduced its price from $17K to $10K. Still no deal, no close out of this invoice. Robert requested an Order so he can void the contract. Treasury noted that Montgomery could still take the township to court over the matter. o There is an office employee that the township must provide rights and benefits under the union contract. Robert did not budget for these costs. The township attorney has counseled against eliminating her position or denying her benefits because she will grieve the case. FY ‘16 budget o Robert said a draft of the budget is completed. He’s met with all the directors and elected officials regarding their budgets. He’s ready to show it to the Board at the next meeting (Oct. 15) or maybe earlier for review.

Township-owned house o Update: This property has not been sold yet for $975. At its last meeting, the Board approved the selling of the property, not the sale of it. At the same meeting, the Board did not approve of the rehabbing of the house for $3K. Municipal Risk (sp) sent a crew in to dry the basement out (the basement experienced water damaged due to clogged drains from area restaurants using them as grease bins) remove damaged drywall etc. It has been estimated that $3K of rehab on the house would elevate the house in price on the market from $10K to $30K. McKenna o In 2014 the township paid approximately $100K for McKenna’s services. This year, the figure is approximately $64K. Robert has talked to the DDA and Parks about what their share in the cost will be going forward. He hopes to get a reduced price

The GOV just announced that the City will be reconnecting to DWSD, it will cost $12M. That $12M will be will come

Governor says he's "working hard" to resolve Flint water problems Governor Snyder says the state is “working hard” and doing its best to resolve Flint’s water issues. Recent tests have raised alarms about high lead levels in city water — and in some Flint children’s blood. Snyder wouldn't offer specifics about possible action, but he will soon. “There’s actions going on," he said. "But I think we’d rather make sure I can give you a longer list of the comprehensive actions we’re taking sometime during the week.” Flint Mayor Dayne Walling said last week the governor should “work harder” to resolve the water issues. Flint’s system has had repeated problems since it switched from Detroit to Flint River water in April 2014. Sent from my iPhone xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_166 Schafer, Suzanne K.

We need to advise Tom and Fred of the situation and set a call with Natasha and Pete Sent from my iPhone xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_060 CITY OF FLINT Dayne Walling Mayor September 14, 2015 The Honorable Rick Snyder Govemor, State of Michigan P.O, Box 30013 Lansing, MI 48909 RE: Call for Additional Support for Flint Water Improvement Plan Dear Governor Snyder: On behalf of the Flint community, | am writing with a renewed request for additional support to address Flint’s water challenges to ensure that water is affordable and secure for everyone in Flint especially our vulnerable populations. I am asking for an additional $30 million in funds for Flint’s infrastructure and a new healthy homes initiative. Significant progress has been made throughout this year to increase water safety and quality and I thank you for the involvement of your office, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, and the Michigan Department of Treasury. A majority of items in the Water Improvement Plan are completed or underway. Most importantly, Flint is now in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act due in large part to the installation of the new carbon filter. The infrastructure systems are being made more secure and efficient through the State grants. Now the City is committed to following the recommendation of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to optimize the treatment process, reduce corrosion and further minimize risks from lead. The need to accelerate the City’s capital improvement investments remains and has been further increased by the continued financial stress and legal issues. Previously I requested support for replacement or forgiveness of payment to the Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund due to Flint’s status as a distressed community and the gap in funding in the adopted capital improvement plan. I understand that the existing federal law does not allow the existing Drinking Water Revolving Loans that Flint is carrying to be forgiven in retrospect but the need still exists. Flint owes approximately $20 Million. One solution is for the State to grant a new $20 Million that is designed as forgivable from the start. Another solution is to provide Cry of Flmt © 1101S Saginaw Street * Flint, Michigan 48502 wiv cilyotflint com © (810! 766 - 7346 © Fae (810) 766 - 7218 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_061 The Honorable Rick Snyder September 14, 2015 Page 2 equivalent funding through an expansion of the grant program to Michigan’s Financially Distressed Cities, Villages and Townships with a supplemental budget amendment in cooperation with the State Legislature. The community’s heightened concern about lead leeching into the water from old service lines and home plumbing also needs to be addressed. We know that lead is an environmental contaminant and there have been many programs in place over the years to address sources in paint and pipes. Flint needs a new healthy homes initiative specifically focused on lead in water with $10 Million to start the process of replacing service lines for the most vulnerable houscholds. Regardless of the source and treatment of Flint’s water, this long term threat of lead in pipes needs to be removed in the interest of public health. My approach continues to be to work with you and your appointed officials, State Senator Ananich, State Representatives Phelps and Neeley, Congressman Kildee, community groups, businesses, churches, foundations, the Flint City Council, and all of the City of Flint and State and Federal government personnel. We need every available expert and resource to address Flint’s water problems. Flint’s safety is my top priority. Just as the City and State have worked together on public safety, we need additional support for fixing the water problems, We need $30 Million in new funds to repair and update the city-wide infrastructure and to assist households in becoming lead-free. The entire Flint community deserves sustainable, safe, secure and affordable water now and into the future. Thank you for the consideration Governor and I look forward to future discussions.

Widigan e Weekly Priorities: eo Council will have a special meeting on Monday to take up the contact for the Deputy Mayor and the Transition Advisor Position. e Questions from Councilman Williams: 1. Is this a true transition?: Yes, it is. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_068 ow Why is there no timeline in the contact for the transition advisor?: The timeline is unknown, it may take 5 months or 10 months. Jerry is simply an advisor, period. The idea is to limit the number of hours, hoping there is no need to re-new the contact. . It would be prefer that there are limits on the advisor, council has no appetite to add more “advisors”. Why not set the contract at 4 months and renew if it’s needed: We will take to W. Workman. Retiree healthcare and Phoenix Center litigation are two big issues. Healthcare lawsuit must be resolved before RTABs exit? Financial best practices have already been implemented, limits to spending, fund balance policy, etc... RTAB/State has requested a 5-year financial plan, that is out of council’s control: Mayor stated the requirement is to have a two year budget and a five year projection, right now they are waiting on the council to address and act on the two year budget. Sobota stated once the first two years is finalized the five year protection will not be difficult. a. Councilman Williams: how much of these bullet points must be finalized/addressed before the RTAB can begin the transition and what are the sticking points to transition out. Council needs a list of what THEY need to take care of to help with transition. Most of the bullet points are in the hands of the Mayor, Dept. Mayor, and CA. b. How does the Council show the state that they are making progress/addressing the checkpoints. c. The benchmarks are left to interpretation as to how to complete them, need a clear set of bullet points showing how the council moves towards local government (referencing the contract). d. The Council’s key goal is to have a legitimate plan as to how to transition. e. Issue with the contract is it does not come back to the Council, there is no renewal date. No problem with the council renewing it, the problem is that it’s not an option. Deputy Mayor Position Update: No vote was taken last night, the council agrees with the Mayor’s choice. Debate on the salary. Council will meet on Monday at 5PM to address. © Raise in the salary was NOT mentioned to the council until last night. Last they were informed the salary was $95K. With the salary at $107K it will be hard to get four votes from the council. o Residents do NOT want the Dept. Mayor making more money than the Mayor. Transition Advisor Position Update: Comments from Mayor — Councilman Williams is part of the old guard, looking for some sound bites and is a very ‘savvy’ councilman. Any changes Treasury makes to the contract he will take to council and will say that they took on Treasury and ‘won’. © Mayor says that if changes are made to the contract it puts her in a precarious situation. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_069 Community Development Positions: City is still accepting applications. HR director will review and present to the council. Process closes soon. Street Sweeper: Council is requesting to bring street sweeping ‘in-house’. No research has been done as to the liability and cost of this undertaking. Two-year Rolling Budget: This is being addressed by council and committees. RTAB Agenda add-on requests: Mr. Sobota is requesting the RTAB address street sweeping and DPW road stripping. He was informed the request must be submitted in a memo by noon today. Royal Oak Township — July 27— R. Burgess, D. Squalls, R. Byrne, P. Dostine, C. Porubsky Priorities for the Week/Miscellaneous Items: oO oO Set up meetings for this week or next with potential developers. Code enforcement officers currently have dealership in court over taxes — Donna thinks the best scenario would be for someone to buy both the dealership and motel next to it and demolish the motel. Donna: Finish F&O Plan. Robert: Spoke with Finance on Thursday, need a cash flow analysis for the remainder of the year and to create an amended budget. Current on all bills with the exception of one. Revenue sharing is anticipated to be the only income, but Robert thinks there is enough money to make it thru the year. Randy reminded the Twp. that a monthly financial report is required. General fund renewal is on the ballot August 4; Donna and Robert would like to send a flyer out. Randy cautioned them on the wording Audit: ie} ° (e) Completed; Donna said that it was better than last years’ and didn’t highlight many problems.

Page 1 of 3 NEWS HITS ‘Tuesday, September 1, 2018 Independent water tests show lead. problems far worse than Flint claims Posted By Curt Guystte on Tue, Sep 1, 2015 at 5 13 pm Phote courtesy Min Tang and Kelsey Pieper/Virginia Tech Photo of Flint drinking water pipes showing different kinds of iron corrasion and rust Claims by state and local officials that Flint’s municipal water is safe to drink are being put to the test in a precedent-setting independent study. So far, those claims are emphatically failing to pass muster. Researchers from Virginia Tech — working with a group of Flint residents and the ACLU of Michigan — are conducting an extensive analysis of lead and copper levels in water flowing into the homes of Flint’s residents. Initial findings show the problem is roughly twice as bad as the city’s tests indicate. What's been dubbed the Flint Citizen Science Study is still under way, but the early findings have been so disturbing that the Virginia Tech team is posting Tesults on the web in order to alert residents about how extensive the problem may be. *I think it would have been unethical to not release this information right away,” said VT professor Mare Edwards, who is leading the project. According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, the city would be out of compliance if 10 percent of homes tested were above the action level of 15 parts per billion lead. The city says its latest sampling, conducted during the first six months of this year, shows that Flint's water is in compliance with federal regulations, according to documents obtained by the ACLU of Michigan. 2/23/2016 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_008 Independent water tests show lead problems far worse than Flint claims | Blogs | Detroit ... That claim is based on tests conducted at 69 homes. The VT study is looking at nearly four times as many homes. Of the 120 samples analyzed so far, 20 percent have been over the federal action level — twice what it would take for the city to be out of compliance. “Needless to say, these data are very worrisome,” said Edwards. “There are a disturbingly high number of homes with lead levels in a range where water consumption has caused lead poisoning in children and adverse pregnancy outcomes.” Flint Mayor Dayne Walling and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality both failed to respond to requests to comment on this story. Edwards said that a study of this type — with residents leading the effort — is unprecedented, Impetus for the project grew after the ACLU of Michigan in early July disclosed an internal U.S. Environmental Protection Agency memo that raised concerns about the water-sampling methodology used by the City of Flint. One major concern is that the city, operating in accordance with Michigan Department of Environmental Quality protocol, instructs residents to “pre- flush” their water lines prior to testing. Residents are told to run their water for about four minutes in advance of taking a sample, which limits the amount of time water can absorb lead and copper from pipes and fixtures prior to testing. As a result, the amounts of metals that will be found are minimized, and the possibility that worst-case scenarios will be missed is increased. Miguel Del Toral, a water specialist for the U.S. EPA’s Region V, characterized the city’s method as the equivalent of finding a “loophole” in the law and exploiting it. Edwards agreed, contending that “no legitimate scientist” would say that the pre-flushing approach is an acceptable way to test for lead. He also said that, based on recent tests the VT team conducted, high lead levels were to be expected, in part, because water from the Flint River is so caustic. “At present, as a rough estimate ... it looks like Detroit water is about five times less corrosive to iron pipe than Flint River water. This also probably means that the iron pipes in the city of Flint system will fail five times faster using the Flint River water rather than the Detroit water,” according to the VT web site. While under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager, Flint switched from using Detroit water as its source to the Flint River in April 2014, ostensibly as a cost-saving measure. Since then there has been a constant stream of water quality problems, with residents complaining of a variety of health issues and water that’s often brown or yellow and frequently four- smelling. According to Edwards, Flint’s water is at least four times more corrosive than Detroit’s, causing infrastructure to break down and lead to be released into the city’s drinking water. As a result, his study’s disturbing findings are not surprising. Edwards, a former recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” who Page 2 of 3 2/23/2016 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_009 Independent water tests show lead problems far worse than Flint claims | Blogs | Detroit... Page 3 of 3 discovered widespread problems regarding lead in Washington, D.C.'s water in the early 2000s, applied for an emergency National Science Foundation grant to fund the study currently taking place. Three hundred sample kits arrived in Flint on Aug. 19. Since then, a team of residents representing such local groups as Concerned Pastors for Social Change, Water You Fighting For?, and the Democracy Defense League — all of which are part of a lawsuit seeking to force the city to return to the Detroit system — has been recruiting volunteers to have their water tested. As of Tuesday, more than 265 sample kits have been collected and returned to Virginia Tech. The community-driven effort has exceeded all expectations regarding resident participation, said Edwards, who noted that the project would have been considered successful if at least 75 of the kits had been returned for analysis. “The response shows how concerned the people of Flint are about the quality of their water,” Edwards said. Curt Guyette is an investigative reporter for the ACLU of Michigan. His work, which is funded by a grant from the Ford Foundation, focuses on issues involving emergency management and open government.

Installation of the filter was one of the primary recommendations from Veolia and others as a means to help assure that City water will continue to be within EPA guidelines. Installation is scheduled to begin in Mid-June, with completion by mid-July. Other action steps are also underway at the plant, including cleaning plate settlers, repairing the clarifier, and adjusting chemical dosing and levels as also recommended. Additionally, a contract is being finalized for the water main leak detection project, hydraulic modeling and flushing is underway, and bids for the replacement of 2 miles of major pipe are being reviewed. Nearly $5 million has been budgeted to implement these actions, which in large measure are the ongoing types of action necessary to maintain the water treatment and distribution system. $2.1 million of this amount is budgeted for replacement of the pipe along Dupont St., and $1.6 million is budgeted for the GAC, with $900,000 budgeted for water main leak detection. Actual replacement of the pipe is scheduled to begin in June, and to be completed by early September. —CONTINUE- City Hall 1101 S.

Recent testing has shown that Flint’s water is meeting all regulatory safety standards, with TTHM levels being significantly below the maximum level accepted. The measures that have been taken to date by the Flint Water Plant staff have resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of Flint water since last summer. “Both the hardness and TTHM levels are at the lowest point since the switch to the Flint river last April,” said DPW Director Howard Croft. “Installing the GAC filter, in addition to these other steps, wiil further bolster the positive direction we are moving in to continue improving the quality of water in the City.” -END- City Hall 1101 S.
