Thx!

Got an update from Scott and John and all in all the approps chairs took the Flint news pretty well. They realized we had to act quickly and get something out there. Sounds like their biggest concern was using too much General Fund and asked us to look at rainy day fund. Scott said he is hearing from other legislators as well that think it should be a loan to flint rather than a supplemental appropriation.

Hi there guys - had a voice mail from Dominick (sp) Adams at Flint Journal late this afternoon your time re: "when Governor was going to decide on Flint's water?" Have not talked with him. And haven't seen the news yet (though haven't had a chance to really keep on top of things) so assuming that's still pending. His contact info is attached. Thx! xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0017_0028_0028_1

FYI, | was told this was on hold until final sign-off is received. | will keep everyone updated as | hear more.

Thanks, Caleb. (And welcome back!) Agreed, though I think there's going to need to be couple of topline message points that get to Treasurer's review process very generally (ala Ron Fonger's piece that pointed out that one community is going to lose while another "wins" regardless of the outcome). Doesn't sound like Detroit may take lighlty if that ends up being outcome. We also do need a comms/outreach plan to make sure we've got all components and notification bases covered.

Here is an email I sent out last week and haven't received any feedback yet. I will touch base with everyone again on Monday to finalize a comm plan ahead of AD's approval of Ed Kurtz's resolution. Begin forwarded message:

Here is the start of some topline messages for Flint ... | don’t think that we need to get too deep into the specifics on the deal, we can leave that to Ed and others to discuss. Please let me know of any suggestions and additions that you have. | plan to also put together some background information that we can have on hand when discussing the topic. As | mentioned before, it likely won’t be until the week of Apr 8'" that we discuss this publicly. e This is a decision made by the City of Flint and is a local decision that affects their local water supply. e Flint Emergency Manager Ed Kurtz has heavily involved the city’s elected officials throughout the decision-making process and all agree that this is best for the citizens and businesses in Flint. e This will save Flint at least $100 million over the next 25 years, and possibly as much as $300 million. e The Departments of Treasury and Environmental Quality have approved the financial and environmental soundness of KWA’s plan. e Flint accounts for only 2% of DWSD’s capacity. Thanks, Caleb xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1853_4517_4517_1

Just making sure you're alf in the loop on this as Vil be out next week, Need to make sure we have talking points and appropriate comm/outreach plan in place. Caleb was going to be taking the lead, in conjunction with Terry at Treasury. Though next week, Treasury may need to be lead.

We are goad Caleb. fwilfhandle. Hey, in case you missed it, here’s the “good news” release we are about to send.

See below from Fonger, it looks like he has also called in to the office. Is this being handled, do you need anything from me? Our talking points won't change based on Detroit's release, unless something has happened that | am unaware of. It isn't our place to dispute DWSD while Andy is officially reviewing the proposal, but Brom could get us some info on the estimated savings if we needed it. Just let me know if you need anything from me. Caleb Begin forwarded message:

far working to get more information on this and will handle ater today.
