Liane: Thanks so much! Randy,

Randy — 1 made a few suggested tweaks to your note. Hope this works for you: ® The DEQ met with Flint officials last month. The City prepared an operational plan to reduce the formation of disinfection by-products. They have exceeded the standard which is primarily the result of using water from a different source, namely the Flint River. This is anticipated to be mitigated once the City begins using Lake Huron water from the Karagondi pipeline. A DEQ violation notice will go out next week which will require the city to issue a public notice. The DEQ Director plans to notify legislative members from the Flint area. In conclusion, the City has seen a reduction in the numbers because of operational changes and the cooler weather. The violation is expected to continue for a while because it takes time to resolve this problem. Liane Liane J.

KEVIN CLINTON GOVERNOR STATE TREASURER DATE: December 9, 2014 TO: Rick Snyder, Governor FROM: R. Kevin Clinton, Treasurer SUBJECT: Status of Financially Stressed Local Governments EMERGENCY MANAGER Flint Emergency Manager: Darnell Earley Appointed: November 28, 2013 Anticipated Exit: April 2015 Recent Developments Two City Council seats will be vacant as of January 1, 2015 due to the members being elected to higher offices. A committee consisting of the Mayor and City Council is working with the Emergency Manager to review interested applicants for the vacant City Council positions. City officials are attempting to increase the City’s income tax rate, which Treasury supports and must be approved by the legislature. State Representative Stanley is the lead on this initiative. Should the legislature approve the increase, the City will place this question on the November 2015 ballot. Six Charter amendments and a general Charter revision question were on the November 4, 2014 ballot. The following proposals passed: co Proposal | — Triggers a full review of the charter. A nine-member Charter Review Commission will be elected in May 2015. o Proposal 2 — Reduces the number of mayoral staff appointments from no more than ten to no more than five. © Proposal 3 — Adds a Charter amendment to require budgetary best practices, Three finalists were selected for the City Administrator position. Background and reference checks are being conducted on the preferred candidate now, with a goal to bring the person on board in February 2015. City officials met last month with the DEQ, and as a result of that meeting, prepared an operational plan to reduce the formation of disinfection by-products.

Date: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 8:50:00 AM Randall — | got your voicemail late yesterday, but was in a meeting most of the day and will be today also. Kristina Donaldson and Steve Busch are the best contacts to discuss DWSD’s issue(s) regarding sunk costs and how that does and/or does not relate to Flint. | will forward your message to them and ask them to return your call (probably best if they can do this together and hopefully today).
