Date: Monday, October 26, 2015 10:38:00 AM I’d like to include George in this discussion also. We’re still trying to coordinate with Genesee County Health Department, as they could be the primary agency collecting samples. | believe we are waiting on a proposal from the county. | think we should also discuss the possibility that George could use help in the form of an asistant.

Hi Sylvia- | am looping in Jim and Liane. | mentioned this to both of them and | know it’s on the to do list. Thanks Maggie

Hi Maggie! Have you had an opportunity to review the items below? The state budget office would like a response on this early this week. Any help that you could provide would be appreciated.

Hello, The state budget office was able to review our PFC’s with John Roberts and Nancy Duncan this morning. They would like additional information on the request for the drinking water staff. 1) They would like metric information on what these two staff would be doing. Do we have specific targets for the additional year like inspect 100 schools in urban areas? 2) When will we know whether the staff will be DEQ employees as limited term vs. contracted employees? Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Since | am out of the office, | did not want to respond to all in case | am missing parts of the conversation. My thought is the appropriation could go in either DEQ or DHHS's budget. If included in our budget, | would suggest a $6 million appropriation for "Flint Drinking Water" with $1 million from settlements and $5 million from general fund with boilerplate language indicating the $6 million shall be paid to DWS for the reconnection of the Flint water system. Please let me know if you would like me to follow-up with Nancy or if anything else is needed. Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:
