Richard and Mike- xxxEND_PAGE:deq26_b058_0729_0731_2 We reviewed the letter from the City of Flint that you submitted to docurnent commitment by the City of Flint te participate in the KWA project. Based on the letter and the e-mail below, it appears that Flint is stil considering their options and are not cornmitted to the KWA project; therefore, we have not inchuded the KWA project in the City of Flint’s survey, Thanks, Michelle Lee The Cadmus Group, Inc. 2626 Colonial Grive, Ste. A Helena, MT 59607 {406} 457-5225 michelle [email protected]

Michelle, Michelle, if you are not willing to accept the city’s tentative cornmitment fis that an oxymeroan?) to KWA, will you adjust the percentages of this project that you assigned to Genesee County to reflect the fact that they will have to edsork the costs not being born by the city of Flint? There is no one else to pay the city’s share and the County has signed a contract to initiate this project with or without the city’s garticipation. {suspect the city wil end up participating in this project, but they may be using their current position for leverage in getting the Detroit Water & Sewerage Department to reconsider the current ban on blending water frorn other sources, ff they can achieve that goal, they could use 2 combination of DW5D treated water and raw water from the KWA that would allow thern to operate the Flint water treatrnent plant on a daily basis.
