Now that we have Kurt on board, there is a need to balance workloads between our 6 FTE engineer positions within the Lansing and Jackson Districts. Attached is the redistricting plan moving forward with a quasi-start date of April 1 (the fiscal year mid-point). We will begin making these changes in SDWIS so that you can begin planning for visits and surveys for the 24 half of the FY. It is recognized that survey and visit timelines will need to be smoothed back out to spread them over the 3 year cycle and some surveys may need to be conducted earlier to make that happen. While there are still some details to be worked out on things like file coordination, staff should plan to close out or transfer work regarding community systems that will no longer be in their subdistrict over the next couple weeks. | anticipate a lot of team effort will be needed the rest of the fiscal year to bring each other up to speed. We will continue to discuss logistical issues in the coming days. Stephen Busch, P.E.

All, | wanted to share with you that | have been invited by Director Wyant to represent ODWMA at a luncheon with Governor Snyder next week. This is a direct reflection on the quality and character of the work we have all accomplished in the Lansing and Jackson District over the past year and in particular on a number of high profile issues for the Department and State including Flint and Lake Erie Harmful Algal Blooms. | just wanted to acknowledge you, as you deserve full credit for this honor. You have the recognition and appreciation of myself and many others for your continuing efforts and | plan to let the Governor know that. Again, it is because of you that this was made possible. So thanks and cheers to the Lansing Jackson District for | share in this with you. Stephen Busch, P.E.
