The goal: Assess the extent of the elevated blood lead levels — the number of those affected and the degree to which they’ re affected M@ Get as many people in the affected zip codes tested as possible — can the Red Cross or some other agency with a bus or mobile unit set up for folks to give blood convert over to blood level testing and go into neighborhoods that have low testing rates? HA public health friend of mine said that Genesee County Health workers are stressed to the max. Can we deploy appropriate personnel from other county health agencies to help with inspecting homes for possible other causes? In other words, it won’t do any good to invest more in water infrastructure if we’re finding window sills with teeth marks. | say this NOT to downplay the role that water lead levels may have played. But can we get Habitat for Humanity, for example, to do a massive volunteer effort to eradicate lead paint in homes ... or is that beyond their expertise? M@ Gather experts to assess exactly how extensive the problem is and potential causes. And then convey this ina much more accessible ways. If you want blood level data, you have to scroll down on the DHHS web site, find the headline and then read a long press release. Maybe we’re conveying this information better on the ground, but if not, we need to communicate conclusive findings in multiple ways— graphics, video, informational photo galleries and maybe even a “test” that residents can take to see if their home is at risk in other ways. | know that sounds awfully MLive-ish, but it can be effective.

Good morning, team. Here’s a new draft of the Flint Task Force response letter incorporating suggestions from Rich. Please let me know if there additional changes | should make, or if you think there are points that need to be included. Our goals is to have a letter that can be shared later today. Thank you! Dave Flint Water Advisory Task Force Members, Thank you for your correspondence on Dec. 7, and, most importantly, for your hard work to promote public health and protect our residents as we move forward. Your efforts are both respected and appreciated. As acknowledged in your letter, we have taken many steps to address the challenges in Flint as they relate to reducing lead exposure. | am pleased to see the progress since October, and recognize there is more work that must be done to ensure that this progress continues. At the state level, there has been a confluence of efforts between Michigan Departments of Environmental Quality and Health and Human Services to coordinate with the Genesee County Health Department, local schools, and our partners in the non-profit community. These partners are making progress, and we know we can always strive to improve practices and communication for continual improvement. You make a solid suggestion about establishing a person who is independent of any one of the involved state agencies or organizations to serve as the point person to coordinate the ongoing work. | am recommending that Harvey Hollins, director of the Office of Urban Initiatives, carry out this effort. Harvey is well-versed in the issue and the challenges faced by our cities and will be effective in this role. He will be assisted by senior members of our executive team to ensure you will have the continued support and cooperation that you need. We also have retained Chris DeWitt, a veteran communications specialist, to strengthen community outreach efforts to make sure residents have access to the information they need. | also support your suggestion of a dashboard to make information about our work and progress more accessible to the Flint community. These are critical measures that can be used as we look the challenges and progress in Flint, but also can be a part of efforts moving forward in other areas of our state. It’s important that people have confidence that we are working to address any problems and will take the necessary actions to improve interaction among city, state and federal agencies. We also will continue to work with the medical community to consider how we can work together on wraparound needs of children who might experience health problems. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0580_1869_1870_1 People in Flint and across our state deserve safe, clean water. | want them to be confident that the water coming out of their tap is safe for their families. And | want them to trust that their government — at all levels — is working effectively to protect them. | thank you again for investing your time and expertise to this vitally important effort.

Good evening team, Here is a draft response to the task force letter that | think covers the needed ground and designates Harvey for the role suggested by the task force members.

Heads up -- given all the good coverage we got frorn our Flint water event earlier this week, this seerns like an attempt te throw us back under the bus and draw more controversy/publicity te the water issue. l would advise we stir very clear of this event or helping to orchestrate it.
