Team:
Today Harvey and | met with the Flint Water Task Force. It was a good meeting. People were pleased
with the G’s statement from the prior day. Captain Kelenske joined us and we had a very good
discussion about moving forward with the creation of the Flint Water Crisis Agency Coordinating
Committee (FIACC). Tim Becker and Captain Kelenske provided me with a fair amount of input. | also
read the City of Flint Incident Action Plan for a State of Emergency which Chris received today (enclosed
for those who wish to read it as well). | have distilled all of this into a two page plan that | want your
edits and comments on and a one page organizational chart (now presented in the “governor’s colors”
according to our fine people in Communications). Spoiler alert—l made Captain Kelenske Vice Chair of
the whole shebang (with the Colonel’s blessing) so Harvey wouldn’t get lonely.
Here is my ask of you:
1) Within 24 (sooner if you can) hours give me your comments and input
2) Tomorrow | will turn around a final document for Jarrod to review with the Governor either
New Year's Day or Saturday
3) Ideally, Governor will approve Harvey sending it to Mayor Weaver Saturday (Sunday latest)
4) Mayor needs to know that this is what the Governor wishes to discuss at the meeting January 7
along with financial resources that we still need some estimates on cost from DHHS for
5) Meegan and Dave need to noodle how best to get out front with this and change the narrative
focus on Monday’s Genesee County declaration of emergency
| know we are all working way too hard for what should be a rest and recharge period but | do
appreciate everyone’s efforts and | know the Boss really does as well.
Regards,
Rich
