Would also suggest the following: Why did the Governor allow the city to switch away from DWSD initially? (Would use last portion of the response I sent earlier) The then-emergency manager, mayor and city council approved the move to KWA and the state approved the transition. Following the city's decision to move to KWA, DWSD canceled flints contract effective April of 2014. The city faced limited options for its water source following the cancellation of its DWSD contract. he city felt compelled to make the switch. Once the city opted to move to KWA by 2016, Its contract with DWSD was canceled.

Importance: High All- Just received this from Dave Eggert... lam going to tell David that Treasury did send a timely response to the Representative. It was due (following a statutory extension) on Tuesday, September 29, 2015. Our response (attachment 1) went in the mail on Tuesday. As you will see, it was a “denial,” as Treasury does not have any records regarding “waivers, permits or applications to use the Flint River...” Apparently, the response has not arrived in his (Flushing, Ml) mailbox...or is arriving today. | have also attached the extension letter (attachment 2), which was timely-mailed as well. Let me know if you have any questions...

| don’t recall either grant being related to “the existence of lead and copper pipes, and the impact...of Flint River water” (Nancy's words) as neither had surfaced as an issue that | am aware of. Brad? The grants...which the City submitted applications for (which | do not have access to tonight)...were to be used for exactly what was described in the Gov’s release: $1.1 million for water system enhancement through improved waste management and $900k for system enhancement through leak detection and pipe assessments. The other $2.24 million you are asking about came from the state-approved (Treasury & DEQ) restructuring of Flint’s Drinking Water Revolving Fund loans. The restructuring saved the city the $2.24m...with $1.5m used to pay for the installation of a Granulated Active Charcoal filter (GAC) at the Water Treatment Plant. Below is a section from the Flint Water TPs distributed in late January-early February 2015. The City has received significant financial assistance through both grant programs and bond restructuring initiatives administered by the MI Department of Treasury. This financial assistance has allowed the City to replace miles of aged pipeline and begin efforts to install a specialized filter at the Water Treatment Plant. In February, Flint was awarded a total of $2 million through two Financially Distressed Cities, Villages, and Townships Grants. $1.1 million was awarded for water system enhancements through improved waste management while $900,000 was awarded for water system enhancements through leak detection and pipe assessments, On April 8", the City announced that it was moving forward with a series of actions to ensure the continued safety of Flint drinking water and address Issues of discoloration and odor. The most significant step will be the installation of a Granulated Active Charcoal filter (GAC) at the Water Treatment Plant. The GAC filter will help block or eliminate the formation of TTHM during the filtration process. A contract for the filter installation was approved by the State Treasurer with the project targeted for completion by mid-July. The $1.5 million project will be funded with proceeds from the state-approved restructuring of Flint’s Drinking Water Revolving Fund loans ($2.24 million). The City is undertaking a number of other improvements to the water system including the acceleration of valve replacements, targeted hydrant flushing, the replacement of two miles of water main in a critical area of the city, and acceleration of the project to automate pliant operations. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_206

For Immediate Release City of Flint Announces Action Plan to Maintain Safety and Improve Quality of Flint Water Flint, Michigan — April 8, 2015 — The City of Flint is proceeding with a series of actions to ensure the continued safety of Flint drinking water is maintained and that issues of discoloration and odor continue to be addressed. Most notably, the installation of a Granulated Active Charcoal filter (GAC) at the Water Treatment Plant is expected to be authorized this week by Emergency Manager Jerry Ambrose. The introduction of the GAC to the treatment process at Flint’s plant will absorb or reduce the chemical precursors which will block or eliminate the formation of TTHM during the filtration process. Engineering and design are underway and installation of the GAC is targeted for completion by mid-July. Cost of this improvement is projected at $1.5 million and will be paid for by the proceeds from the state approved restructuring of the City's Drinking Water Revolving Fund loans. In addition to the installation of the GAC, the City of Flint is undertaking a number of other improvements to the water system in the coming months, including a water leak detection monitoring, completion of the hydraulic model and subsequent targeted hydrant flushing program, and the replacement of two miles of water main pipe in a critical area of the city. All of these improvements scheduled to occur within the next six months. “The replacement of this two mile section of pipe along Dupont Street has been identified by a water reliability 1 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0413_0844_0846_1 study as a significant piece of infrastructure and will greatly improve the movement of water in that area of the city,” said Dept. of Public Works Director Howard Croft. Increasing the circulation of the water in the system will immediately result in improvements in water aesthetics, such as discoloration and odor. The MDEQ has given its approval to the project and the process of bidding for construction will begin next week. Construction will take place during the summer of this year. Ongoing repairs and maintenance also continue to improve the health of the system. To date, about 200 water main breaks have been repaired this year. Whenever major work that may disrupt service is scheduled, the City works to notify residents in the affected area with signage and with posts to cityoffiint.com. Updates will include the area of work and the estimated time of completion. Each main break repair stirs sediments in the line. “Residents should know that there is a chance of discoloration or odor any time work is being done on a main in their area,” said Croft. “This is nothing to be alarmed about and it doesn’t mean the water is unsafe.” If discoloration of water or odor occurs due to repairs, residents are reminded that running the water for a few minutes should clear the line. Anyone with water questions should call 810-787-6537. The City of Flint remains committed to addressing water related issues. Along with maintaining the safety of the water, addressing quality and affordability are top priorities. The steps outlined above are indicators of the City’s progress in addressing the most pressing concerns surrounding water. Emergency Manager Ambrose reiterated that development of a contract with DWSD was not going to happen. "Those advocating for a return to DWSD do not want to recognize the financial realities of such a move. Not only would such a move increase the City's costs by more than $1 million per month, but the water from Detroit is no safer than Flint water, as both entities are measured by the same MDEQ standards that have been in place for years. Why anyone would want to send a million dollars a month to DWSD rather than make necessary repairs to the City's own system is beyond me." Further updates on the progress being made to improve Flint’s water system will released in regular updates to the media and in updates to the City’s website, cityofflint.com. Anyone wishing to report an issue can do so under “Online Services”. Anyone with questions about these or any other water issues should call the water treatment plant at 810-787-6537. —END-— -Jason Lorenz Public Information Officer xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0413_0844_0846_2 City of Flint (810) 237-2039 jlo xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0413_0844_0846_3

Thanks, Terry. Heads up to all that Flint is required to do its quarterly TTHM sampling again in February. We expect their numbers to be in compliance. But we also expect that they were so far out of compliance in three quarters of 2014 that their annual average will still be out of compliance, which will require them to send another letter to the community in accordance with the safe drinking water act. So the show will, unfortunately, go on.

As I mentioned a couple weeks back, Kelly initially provided some comms assistance/guidance to Darnell Earley. pro bono. At this point, per Jerry Ambrose, she has been retained by Veolia, Flint’s new water consultant, to assist w communications on the project...

Not really — still wondering if TR is working with/through the Emergency Manager OR mayor, or both? Regardless, is a bit fishy.

Answers the question about whether the Mayor is getting counsel from TR ... b

Only problem with that is that the citizens of Flint say they are paying more now than they did when they were connected with DWSD. The city, after all, is not giving the water away free right now, so there is some kind of equalization that comes into play here. Additionally, we just gave them $2M so if we need to use it for a reconnect that’s probably a good use of the money as opposed to people refusing to use city water. Since we’re in charge, we can hardly ignore the people of Flint. After all, If GM refuses to use the water in their plant and our own agencies are warning people not to drink it, another expressing continuing concern over quality, and the differential between what we now collect and what we would pay DWSD is not significant, we look pretty stupid hiding behind some financial statement.

Would add that the city (Earley, Ambrose, etc.) have been unequivocal that doing so would cost at least $1m per month...per the DWSD “offer” ...and the city simply cannot afford that. | have also heard that the city no longer owns a section of pipeline that would have to be used in making any re-connection...making that more difficult and expensive.

Quite a partnership. Sent from my iPhone First I'd heard also b TS
