How come we find this out from the TV reporter? Don’t they tell the RTAB anything?

Just fyi

| heard this story in North Carolina last night. It is journalists at their worst Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

Why not, we haven’t anything else to do except spend our time chasing our tail. This issue isn’t going to go away until we do some serious comms work in the city.

Importance: High I'd like to convene a phone call today to discuss a Flint water solution. Please let Stacie know your availability for a call today anytime between 2pm and 5pm and she will send out the appointment and conference line information. I'll loop in Gerry Ambrose once we reach consensus. Best, Harvey xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0719_2129_2129_1

Beth is available 3:00 ~- 4:30

fi this does happen, we need te figure who would hand out the water. It should mot be the City. It would undercut every point they are making. it probably should also be reserved for peanle who can't afford to buy water.

Might want to get Jarrod and Terry Stanton on this as well as Harvey. Otherwise it will get out of hand. It's in the city's long term interest to make the KWA work and we can make the river water safe, but we need to work with the ministers this week to help them out. It's tough for everyday people to listen to financial issues and water mumbo jumbo when all they see is problems. You can't expect the ministers to hold the tide on this problem. How about cutting a deal with Ice Mountain or Bill Young and buying some water for the people for atime? $250K buys a lot of drinking water and we could distribute it through the churches while we continue to make the water even safer. If we procrastinate much longer in doing something direct we'll have real trouble. Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

In case you did not see this. Will be reviewing Water System info over the weekend. Maybe something Monday, Tuesday latest. 1 need to edit also. Wayne Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

We (Treasury) think we can restructure the drinking water loans the City currently has. Essentially this means deferring the upcoming April & Oct principle payts. [We can’t forgive their loans nor extend the maturities]. lam rounding the numbers... originally they had 4 loans totally $40+mm. The current amt outstanding is about $20mm. The cash benefit of deferring the principle payts is approx. $2.1mm. | had talked to Jerry A. re where they would use the money. One possibility would be the consultant they are looking hire. The other is to pay for that pipeline replacement he talked about. | talked to Jim Sygo @ DEQ to see if they had any issues because they are responsible for the program side. He checked with his staff. They had some concerns about opening up ‘Pandora’s Box’ i.e., other distress communities would want to do this. But at the end of the day | think they would ok the deferral particularly if you (the Gov’s office) supported it. Jim had left me a v-mail so | can get back to him Monday to really confirm. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0829_2013_2013_1

The boil water advisory was lifted yesterday while | was talking to John Gleason. The source has still not been identified and the plant and DEQ are working to figure it out. ! told Gleason that his suggestion to have contingency plans for these water events makes great sense but | had to look into the specifics of using the Guard and | would get back to him. This is more for DEQ and the Guard to assist with at this time but please keep us posted on what the EM may share as far as updates.

Water is back on as of yesterday. Checking with City on how confident they are that it is fixed.
