Hi Liane — Tami Eyer asked for District Coordinator volunteers to be on the staff development team
as it relates to Organization Excellence, so | jumped on board. One of the components we are
exploring is expanding the Tuesday School concept to all divisions/offices. Can you share with me
your working draft of the ODWMA Tuesday School concept that | believe you are developing? No
hurry. Thanks - Amy

| would add a couple of bullets:
| thought | “rang the bell” to encourage staff to not wait too long to work with systems
participating in the 2015 Needs Survey and that we are supposed to have one-third of them
submitted by the end of August.
| also mentioned the training opportunities and that we were sending 2 staff to EPA’s Small
System Training. | also asked that we make employees aware that they should return from
this type of training prepared to provide highlights to other staff, at least managers and if
appropriate, to other employees that would have benefited from attending the training.
| don’t know if this level of detail is necessary, but the “other” modifications to the
classification policy potentially involved clarifying what constitutes a living unit vs. simply
relying upon the number of beds, which is the current method for nursing homes,
dormitories, jails, adult foster care homes, etc. This issue also bleeds over into one of the
issues Dana was updating — not assuming a system that is under the population to be
classified as a Type 1 system is automatically a Type Ill, as the combination of residents and
workers could and often does result in the facility meeting the Type II classification.
Amy — I’m hoping to use what you drafted as the basis for this month’s meeting summary. |’ll tweak
it to be more generic. Any objections?

Steve — could you please draft a paragraph or two about the Toledo/Monroe HAB incident? I'd really
like to include this in the document.

It looks OK to me. A few communities (Mt. Clemens, South Lyon) come to mind that had
high individual TTHM results, but the averages never exceeded the MCL and they continue to
remain below the MCL (as a result of operational changes).
Looks good from our perspective. We have an issue at Benton Harbor due to an anomalously high
sample last year, but it was for HAAS, not TTHM.
