Flint Water Advisory Task Force
November 12, 2015
Ms. Karen Weaver, Mayor
Ms. Natasha Henderson, City Administrator
City Hall
1101 S. Saginaw St.
Flint, MI 48502
Dear Mayor Weaver and Administrator Henderson:
As you are aware, Governor Snyder has appointed a Flint Water Advisory Task Force to review what
led to the problem of high jead levels in drinking water, review the related regulatory framework,
and make appropriate recommendations to prevent reoccurrence in Flint or elsewhere in Michigan.
Members of the Task Force are Dr. Lawrence Reynolds, Dr. Matthew Davis, Eric Rothstein, Chris
Kolb, and Ken Sikkema.
As part of our review, we would like to talk with appropriate individuals who are or were
responsible for Flint Water Treatment Plant operations and capital planning during the past few
years. We think these discussions are important for us to understand how the source water
conversion was planned and implemented, how challenges in treating water from the Flint River
were managed, and how water quality in the distribution system was monitored and addressed.
Individuals we would like to meet with Include (1) Howard Croft, (2) DPW Staff —- Daugherty
Johnson, Brent Wright, Mike Glasgow and (3) Warren Green with the LAN engineering firm. We are
requesting your assistance in securing the availability of these individuals in the afternoon of
Monday, November 23 or anytime on Tuesday, November 24. if preferable, we can contact these
individuals directly for scheduling purposes and would request your assistance in ensuring this
scheduling is appropriately prioritized.
Please feel free to contact us through email or by telephone. Thank you for your assistance and
cooperation in this important matter.
Sincerely,
KL SLL.
