Soave, Manager Oakland County Fiscal Services Division Executive Office Building 1200 North Telegraph Road, Department 403 Pontiac, Michigan 48341-0403 Dear Tim, I have been in contact with Mr. Jon E. Stoppels regarding his West Nile Virus Fund Reimbursement request for the Village of Franklin. At this time, he has been informed that the dispensing of larvacide briquettes to his community is allowable. However, each citizen must inform the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality as to their use. Sylvia Heaton, the contact person at the MDEQ, is responsible for water quality and has developed an on-line application process for residents to fill out. There is no approval process, they just want to keep track of where these briquettes are being used. At this time, I would be inclined to approve the reimbursement amount requested of $776.68. Should you have any questions, please direct them to me at 858-1410. Sincerely, GJM:cjh cc: Thomas J. Gordon, Ph.D., Director Oakland County Department of Human Services Jon E.

Miner, M.A., Manager L BROOKS PATTERSON, OAKLAND COUNTY EXECUTIVE Timothy J. Soave, Manager Oakland County Fiscal Services Division Executive Office Building 1200 North Telegraph Road, Department 403 Pontiac, Michigan 48341-0403 Dear Tim: I am in receipt of a letter from a Mr. Jon E. Stoppels dated April 16, 2003, at which time he requested West Nile Virus Fund reimbursement for the Village of Franklin. In his request, he is seeking reimbursement for larvacide they have purchased from Specialty Chemical Applications Company in the amount of $776.68. Mr. Stoppels has followed all of the guidelines as outlined in your sample cover letter, including an attachment that lists the project description, the governing body resolution, as well as the expense voucher or invoice. However, the part that I am questioning is the dispensing of larvacide briquettes to villagers to use in their personal ponds, pool covers and wetland areas. According to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), in order for anyone to use larvacide a permit must be acquired from the MDEQ. I recently had a conversation with Sylvia Heaton, who is in charge of this Division, at which time she indicated to me that there has been much confusion over this issue. I contacted Mr. Stoppels on April 28 and informed him that he needs to contact Sylvia Heaton to determine whether or not what he is doing with the larvacide is allowable under law. Therefore, at this time, I am holding this reimbursement until I get clarification from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality as to whether or not this type of distribution will be allowed. When I have a concrete answer, I will get with you on the approval or rejection of this request.
