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. Please let me know if we are missing anything, or if there are points you want me to make, realizing that this letter will be distributed to the public. Thank you for your assistance. 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. | also support your suggestion of a dashboard to make information about our work and progress more accessible to the Flint community. 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. 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. I thank you again for lending your time and expertise to this vitally important effort. Regards, xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1463_3694_3695_1 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1463_3694_3695_2
