Item III, New Business. Mr. Mayor,
any items you would like to address?
MAYOR WALLING: Yes. Good afternoon.
As Mayor, Flint safety will always be my top
priority. And I want to personally bring to your
attention the fact that we now know that children in
the Caty of Flint have been exposed to dangerously
high lead levels in the water. This has been
devastating news for our community. It's
unacceptable, it's infuriating. And we have been
moving quickly to take the steps necessary to
protect the public's health. We've made moving back
to Detroit water the first priority, because it's
the fastest way to bring in additional corrosion
control.

The City's Safe Drinking Water and
Technical Advisory Committee met last week and made
that recommendation, at which time, myself, the City
Administrator agreed that the City would work to go
in that direction. And we've been thankful for the
support to help us make that change.
While there's been some discussion
about the responsibility in this situation, and I
certainly agree that the State bears the greatest
responsibility for the problem since the Emergency
Manager decided to use the river as an interim
source, my objective is to get safe water to Flint
as fast as absolutely possible.
And I agree to pledge $2 million
towards the $12 million that it's estimated cost to
move back to Detroit.
After consulting with the City
Administrator, I would request that you support the
budget amendment that's before you today for that
$2 million to become available for the purpose of
reconnecting back to Detroit. We also have the
pledge of $4 million from the CS Mott Foundation.
The City Administrator is working to get that
agreement in place. And we know we have many
working on our behalf, including the Governor and

eur State Representatives and Senator here in this
community, for the State Legislature to follow
through on the Governor's pledge of $6 million.
I also want to acknowledge that we
know Flint has infrastructure problems that go
beyond this one issue of water supply, but it has
been determined that the corrosion control that's in
the Detroit water is necessary for our distribution
system. The stability of the lake water that the
Detroit System uses is a way to get our system
stabilized in the very short-term while we continue
to move towards the Lake Huron KWA pipeline next
spring.
Our distribution system continues to
need work. We've recognized the challenge of lead
service lines 1n our community and we're going to
need to continue to talk about all of the
precautions that we need to take, with filters and
with flushing and testing our systems. And the
State and the Governor are also pursuing additional
resources to assist our community with that. The
community's response has been incredible. We've had
an outpouring of support that's ensured that bottled
water and filters are being made available,
especially to our kids and our most vulnerable

families. And those interim steps are going to
continue to be necessary as we make the transition
to Detroit, and as we improve our infrastructure
system.
So again, I'd just like to reiterate
as I have in other meetings, I don't want to take
too much of your time, but the importance of this
budget amendment that's before you and the companion
resolution which the City Council also approved,
we're asking for the City Administrator to have the
authority to execute the necessary agreements as
quickly as possible with both the Genesee County
Drain Commission for the transmission of water to
this community and also the Detroit Water and Sewage
District at the cost estimates that they provided to
us, that needs to be turned into an actual contract.
And the time is so much of the essence on this,
We've committed to have the reconnection back to
Detroit in less than two weeks. We believe we're
days away from being able to make that happen, which
is very good news for our community. And with your
support, we expect that to continue to proceed,
And know that I'll continue to fight
for additional resources to improve our
infrastructure system. This is not the last you're

going to hear of water. We're going to continue to
work on this. I have outstanding requests to the
Governor of $28 million for lead service line
replacements, and also the gap in our Capital
Improvement Plan and infrastructure needs. The
State did provide us $2 million earlier this year
