Let's mention that the City approved this 7-1, County approved it and DWSD cut them off Sent from my iPhone

Paul: That would not be my interpretation. You did not indicate how Meadowbrook staff reached the conclusion that governmental immunity no longer would apply to Darnell for acts taken by him while at the City of Flint. I will presume that they read § 20(1) of the Act to apply only to an Emergency Manager currently serving in the local government regarding which litigation arises and concluded it would not apply to Darnell since he no longer is Emergency Manager for the City of Flint. That conclusion may appear reasonable if § 20(1) is read in isolation. However, when read as a whole, § 20 is replete with instances where the term “Emergency Manager” refers to past as well as current occupants of that office. Section 20 was intended to remedy two shortcomings in Act 72: providing legal representation for Emergency Financial Managers while in office and after /eaving office. Section 20(2) was intended to address the former and § 20(5) to address the latter, which was of particular concern since two former Act 72 Emergency Financial Managers had been subjected to litigation after leaving office. With one exception, the Attorney General’s Office consistently took the position under Act 72 that it would not provide legal representation for Emergency Financial Managers because they were not State officials. Section 20(2) requires such representation, but only if litigation challenges: (a) the validity of the Act, (b) the authority of a State official or officer acting under the Act, or (c) the authority of an Emergency Manager and even then only if he or she was acting within the scope of his or her authority under the Act. If, hypothetically speaking, litigation were to be filed against Darnell for acts taken by him while at the City of Flint, the Attorney General’s Office would be obligated to provide legal representation only if such litigation involved (a) or (c); (b) would not apply because Emergency Managers are neither State officials or officers. As noted above, § 20(5) would address, again hypothetically speaking, litigation filed against Darnell for acts taken by him while at the City of Flint. If not covered by insurance, his litigation-related expenses, actual and anticipated, would be assessed against the City of Flint, if approved by the State Treasurer after determining that Darnell’s conduct had been within the scope of his authority and occurred on behalf of a local government while it was in receivership. See § 20(5)(a) and (b). Let me know should you have further questions. Fred

Tom | spoke to Meadowbrook and they are confident that they can find another carrier for Darnell. There chief concern is that if Darnell is sued for an action taken as Flint EM, PA 436 governmental immunity no longer covers him--Section 20 (4) (5). Fred is that your interpretation? Also, insurance will cost approx. $5,000 which, in their opinion, is probably less that it would cost the AG to defend him. | talked to Darnell who really wants the additional protection and is discussing the matter further with Meadowbrook. http://www.

Should let Tom know also

| talked to Darnell and he wants Meadowbrook to find another carrier even though he knows as EM he has immunity. | think Ann makes some good points.

When or if you have the time click on the link to the Mayor interview Flint mayor to state: Approve plan “as fast as humanly possible” to help keep lead out of water 14s LINDSEY SMITI1. 16 HOURS AGO Share Twitter Facebook Googlet+ Email xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_196 Flint leaders issued a water advisory last week after health officials raised concerns about lead levels in children's blood tests. Credit Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Flint hasn*t been using any corrosion-control method since it switched from Detroit’s water system in April 2014. Corrosion-control treatment helps keep lead out of drinking water. Since the switch, more kids are showing up with elevated levels of lead in their blood. Flint Mayor Dayne Walling says he wants to put corrosion-control treatment back in place, but he needs state approval first. The state says it’s going to take a little while to implement. “One of my requests to (Michigan’s) Department of Environmental Quality director is that (approval) be accelerated as fast as humanly possible,” Walling said. “Whatever decisions are coming next, we need that corrosion control in the water treatment process that we have now,” he said. Walling was a guest today on Stateside with Cynthia Canty. Listen Listen Listening... 0:00 16.01 Listen to Flint Mayor Dayne Walling on Stateside. Flint spokesman Jason Lorenz says MDEQ made the recommendation to put corrosion-control treatment into the water supply last month. But, he says, it needs MDEQ Director Dan Wyant’s official approval. There’s been some debate over whether Flint should have had corrosion control in place the entire time. MDEQ officials have argued to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that corrosion control is not technically required yet, because the Flint River is a new water source. “You have to have to do a full year of studying” the water chemistry as it behaves across the system before implementing corrosion control, MDEQ spokesman Brad Wurfel said. He says that’s the only way to know what corrosion-control treatment to use. That period of study was to be completed by June 30. As the DEQ reads federal regulations, Flint technically has up to two years after the study to install treatment. But Wurfel says an announcement on the state's decision will come by the end of this week, and "the prescription for optimizing the system for corrosion control is going to be done in Flint by the end of this year." "If 1 handed you a bag of chocolate chips and a sack of flour and said 'make cookies,’ you'd still need a recipe right? They need to get the results from that testing to understand how much of what to put in the (new water source),”" Wurfel said. "We have a plan to expedite this with the city ... and folks can take some comfort in that," Wurfel said. It's not clear yet how much the treatment will cost, but Wurfel says "this won't break the bank.” A state- appointed emergency manager made the interim switch to the Flint River to save the city money. Related: Have you missed parts of the Flint water story? Here's a quick rundown. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not yet answered this question: Was Flint required to have some form of corrosion-control treatment the whole time? At face value, the EPA rules are clear, all water systems that serve more than 50,000 people must have some kind of corrosion control. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_197 But when you switch water sources, there is apparently some room for interpretation. In approving updates to this federal regulation in 2000, the EPA noted that “water systems need to make treatment changes, on occasion, to react to changing circumstances.” In these cases, the rule does not “prevent a state from approving treatment changes,” but it’s not entirely clear if the state can approve having zero corrosion-control treatment. One key section of the rule change reads: “One commenter requested that EPA clarity in the cule language that (large water) systems are not required to have (corroston-contral treatment) physically present. EPA disagrees that this is appropriate.” “Vor large water systems, (the federal rule) does not eliminate the need to have any (corrosion-control treatment) in place, unless the water system can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the State that such treatment will have no effect on reducing the levels ef lead and copper at the tap ... EPA expects few, if any. large water systems can make this demonstration without (corrosion-control treatment).” Flint residents can be sure about one thing: This period of study and approval won’t happen the next time the city switches water sources. The city expects to stop using the Flint River when a new regional water system in Genesee County is completed, slated for the end of 2016. According the MDEQ’s Brad Wurfel, that’s because they won’t need to study the nature of the new water source — Lake Huron. Because Detroit's water system uses water from Lake Huron, Flint will be able to use the same corrosion-control treatment it did when it was hooked up to Detroit’s system.

Henderson City Administrator Jason Lorenz Public Information Officer Office: (810) 237-2039 Cell: (810) 875-2576 For Immediate Release [email protected] City of Flint Issues Lead Advisory Flint, Michigan — September 25, 2015 ~ The City of Flint is issuing a Lead Advisory for residents to be aware of lead levels in drinking water after hearing concerns from the medical community. While the City is in full compliance with the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, this information is being shared as part of a public awareness campaign to ensure that everyone takes note that no level of lead is considered safe. The Genesee County Health Department has issued a fact sheet regarding lead precautions for residents. The fact sheet can be found on their website at www.gchd.us. Here are a few of the suggestions the Health Department recommends: = Flush your cold-water pipes by running the water for approximately 5 minutes « Use only water from the cold-water tap for drinking, cooking, and especially for making baby formula. * Install a water filter that is NSF-certified for lead removal. Lead contamination can leach into water from a home’s lead water service lines, lead solder, and leaded plumbing materials including fixtures, faucets, and fittings. Older service lines with pipes and fixtures installed before 1986 can sometimes be more susceptible to lead issues due to materials used in the home such as lead based paint and lead pipes. This message is meant as a precaution to residents and does not mean that all homes in the City will experience the same issue. Residents with concerns abo service lines City Hall 1101 S.

An accelerated plan to add a corrosion control agent to our water within 30 to 60 days with expedited approval from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is already underway. This will reduce corrosion which can cause lead in old pipes to leach into the water. This plan is in addition to Mayor Walling’s letter requesting $30 Million in water infrastructure assistance funding from the State of Michigan. $10 Million of that request would be for the replacement of lead service lines in households to ensure that lead no longer presents a danger to the drinking water of our residents. As the letter states, “It is the City’s position that the abatement of lead through the removal of lead containing pipes and fixtures in homes is the best long term solution to keeping our residents’ water safe.” Mayor Walling further stated: "| am extremely concerned about the risks around lead with Flint's children and | will be working tirelessly to ensure the water is safe and all of our families have the information they need. | also will continue to pursue funding for infrastructure improvements and a comprehensive healthy homes initiative that addresses lead in paint and pipes. We have to get the lead out of our community to eliminate the threat of childhood lead poisoning."

M.P.H., Health Officer Gary K Johnson, M.D., M.P.H . Medical Director How does lead get into my tap water? Under typical circumstances, lead will dissolve into the water. The concentration of lead in drinking water can vary greatly, depending on the corrosiveness of the water, the type and age of the plumbing materials and the length of time that the water stands in the pipes. The highest levels of lead occur when very corrosive water stands motionless in lead or lead soldered pipe for long periods of time. How do | know if my tap water is contaminated with lead? The only way to know whether your tap water contains lead is to have it tested. You cannot see, taste, or smell lead in drinking water. There are different sampling methods for sampling lead in drinking water. To determine your household risk, it is recommended to take a first draw sample. Does lead in my tap water cause health effects? Lead can cause damage to the brain, red blood cells and kidneys. The greatest risk is to young children and pregnant women. Amounts of lead that won't hurt adults can slow down normal mental and physical development of growing bodies. Lead in water can be a special problem for infants, whose diets may be mostly liquids, such as baby formulas or concentrated juices mixed with water. Smaller bodies can absorb lead more rapidly than bigger ones. A child's mental and physical growth can be permanently harmed by too much lead. Risk will vary, depending on the individual, the circumstances, and the amount of water consumed. What can I do to reduce or eliminate lead in my tap water? Flush your cold-water pipes by running the water for approximately 5 minutes. The longer the water has been sitting in the pipes, the more lead it may contain. You can fill containers for later use, after the flushing process. Use only water from the cold-water tap for drinking, cooking, and especially for making baby formula. Hot water is likely to contain higher levels because it dissolves more lead. You may choose to install a water filter that is NSF-certified for lead removal. If a water filter is installed, replace filters at least as often as recommended by the manufacturer. Buy a lead-free faucet. The legal definition of "lead-free" still allows brass faucets to contain up to 8 percent lead. However, faucets marked with "NSF 61/9" and/or "California Proposition 65" meet stricter limits. Regularly clean particles from faucet aerators. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b37_6553_6782_114 Is it safe to take a bath or shower, if my water has high lead levels? Yes. Bathing and showering should be safe for you and your children, even if the water contains lead over EPA’s action level. Human skin does not absorb lead in water. This information applies to most situations and to a large majority of the population, but individual circumstances may vary. Some situations, such as cases involving highly corrosive water, may require additional recommendations or more stringent actions. Who do I contact for more information? The local water authority is always your first source for testing and identifying lead contamination in your tap water. You can visit the City of Flint Website at www.cityofflint.com or contact the Flint Water Department at 810-787-6537.
