Saginaw Street Flint, Michigan 48502 Dear Mr. Kurtz: RE: Water Service Proposals to the City of Flint Thank you for the conversations over the most recent months that have allowed the Detrort Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) to understand and appreciate the needs and concerns of the City of Flint as you approach your decision regarding the future water supply for the City. I am pleased to offer two (2) alternative proposals for continued service with DWSD. I hope that our conversations have demonstrated that DWSD is an organization that has been undergoing substantial change since the new Board of Commissioners was seated in April of 2011, and new authority granted them since. We continue to evolve on the path of operational and financial independence, and that movement has positioned us to be more responsive to our customers and demonstrate our ability to be more effective and efficient. While we acknowledge and appreciate the past, we are positive that our present and future are, and will be decidedly different, and that our customers and customer communities alike have begun to appreciate that over the past year. Please review the proposals attached. We remain prepared to evolve the proposals based on the City of Flint’s specific requirements, and take the City of Flint’s requirements to a final contract on a expedited timeline. Best regards, Sue F. McCormick Director SFM a Perens eran aed ial
