The permits for KWA are already issued. I’ve got our folks working up some talking points on the DEQ-related issues this week, but our role here is not what the news really cares about. b Brad Wurfel Communications Director Michigan Department of Environmental Quality 517-241-7395 - office 517-230-8006 - cell

Here is the start of some topline messages for Flint ... | don’t think that we need to get too deep into the specifics on the deal, we can leave that to Ed and others to discuss. Please let me know of any suggestions and additions that you have. | plan to also put together some background information that we can have on hand when discussing the topic. As | mentioned before, it likely won’t be until the week of Apr 8" that we discuss this publicly. e This is a decision made by the City of Flint and is a local decision that affects their local water supply. e Flint Emergency Manager Ed Kurtz has heavily involved the city’s elected officials throughout the decision-making process and all agree that this is best for the citizens and businesses in Flint. e = This will save Flint at least $100 million over the next 25 years, and possibly as much as $300 million. © The Departments of Treasury and Environmental Quality have approved the financial and environmental soundness of KWA’s plan. e Flint accounts for only 2% of DWSD’s capacity.

After speaking with Andy, Dan, Dennis and John, we have a plan for the next steps in Flint’s request to participate in the KWA with Genesee County. Here is what we can confirm publicly, although unless it’s a permitting question, we should have Treasury (Terry or |) answer any inquiries. Ed Kurtz will submit a resolution to join the Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA) to the Treasurer, likely today. Once | receive word that we have officially received, we can confirm that we have it and the Treasurer will thoroughly review the resolution and perform due diligence before making a decision. Under PA 436, the State Treasurer must approve contracts over $50,000 that were not competitively bid. No date has been set for the Treasurer to complete his review, but, he is fully aware of the tight timelines necessary to get approvals for the upcoming construction season, and will conduct his review accordingly. That is all we can confirm publicly through next week. Just so you are aware, and not for public consumption, a call was placed to DWSD to let them know that Ed Kurtz was submitting his request and that if they have a final best offer that they should submit it very soon. This may prompt them to go to the media, or not, but be prepared if you get a call from that angle. We need to develop some talking points for the following week, when Andy makes his determination. | will try to put together a draft by the end of the day and send it around for review. If anyone has anything they would like me to add, feel free to send it my way. Let me know if you have any questions. -Caleb xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b06_0561_0924_360 Koryzno, Edward (T reasury)
