Rick & Jeff: Valorie shared with me the bad news that Flint is passing up funding from the DWRF this year. Before this decision becomes set in stone, my program chief would like to know if the city would be able and willing to break the 7310-01 project into a smaller piece (or pieces) to make it affordable and get the benefit of the maximum principal forgiveness we can manage. | forget what the cost estimates were, but, for example, maybe the city could still apply for Torrey Road BS pumps and/or the Cedar Street electrical upgrade (Il assume the 24-inch transmission main was the biggest and most costly piece, and might not be dividable into smaller parts — however, if it could be, please consider that, too). Please try to get audience with Michael Brown and see if this “dumbed down” proposal would be a debt commitment the city could swallow — we can always extend the deadline for the Part | application. We can do a conference call on this if it would help. Thanks!
