7 Point Transition Management Plan

Goal: To provide a strategy for determining and evaluating relevant and specific criteria for assessing when the City of Flint might be prepared to emerge from Emergency
Manager (EM) oversight to a Transition Advisory Board (TAB), as provided iivPublic Act 436. The seven points identified provide comprehensive and well defined
benchmarks to be reviewed before the determination is made. The Plan also defines a data-driven and measurable process for the objective, results-oriented determination of facts. The Plan establishes the criteria now so that it is clear what the conditions are that will have to be satisfied before the Emergency Manager recommends the establishment of a Transition Advisory Board.

The EM will consider recommendations from the Blue Ribbon Committee. National Civic League Model Charter. proposed charter amendments,
review of electoral structure, Executive appointments, etc. It is expected that a fontal agreement would be reached among the EM,
Mayor, and Council as to what governance revisions are to be implemented, including time frames for implementation.
