To Whom It May Concern:
On July 23, 2003 we received a Administrative Citation for a violation of the City Water Use Restrictions.
We arefully aware of the City Outside Water Usage, but we are having problems with our sprinkling system timer. It has not been
operating according to the manufactures specifications.
Enclosed are two invoicc;~ from two different companies attempting to fIX the problem. T.P. C landscape advises that think they
have found the problem and have reset the unit to sprinkle on odd days starting at 3:00am
Since this is our first offense we ask that you waive the fees due to problems we've been experiencing with our system. Unless
otherwise instructed we will not send in any payment.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
.
Any questions please call me at 612-759-2062.

From: Kevin Ciancanelli
18813 Euclid Path
Farmington MN.
To Whom It May Concern:
I'm writing this letter not to contest the citation I received on July 5th 2003 but to ask the
city to take into consideration the special circumstance that created the violation.
.
On July 5th I was cited for a water ban violation at 12:52p.m. On this day I was on
vacation in northern Minnesota As the office may have seen I do have an automatic
sprinkler system, which is operated by a timer. On July 2nd the day I left for vacation, Mr.
Rain had to make some repairs to the system. The gentleman making the repairs had to
shut the system down after I left to make the repairs. When he reset the system he made
an error and set the system to start up at 12:00p.m. instead of 12:00a.m.
Being I was out of town I could not of caught the mistake and reset the timer.
I have always followed the cities water ban regulations and had the system installed for
that reason. I would like the city water board committee to take in consideration the
circumstances of that day, and drop the violation and the fine.
A copy of the violation is attached, and a letter from Mr. Rain.
Sincerely
<~!vl ~~~

To Whom It May Concern:
Kevin Ciancaneli (our customer), residing at 18813 Euclid Path, Farmington, indicates
that he received a ticket for the lawn sprinkler system running in an unauthorized time.
. One of our representatives, in the process of repairing and restarting Kevin's system on
July 2nd, inadvertently set his controller to run at 12 pm instead of 12 am.
Please know that our customer did not intentionally or deliberately set his system to run
at an authorized time and if he had realized the error, would have changed the setting
to comply-

I am wrItmg m response to an A mlstratlve ItatlOn an me
for Water Use Restrictions issued to my residence of 5266 183rd St. West, Farmington, MN.
This citation states that on July 31,2003, the odd/even violation and 12-6 ban violation was observed at 5266
183rd St West. I feel that the accusing party has made a mistake in their observation. I say this because I have
NOT watered my lawn this year, at all! One quick look at the brown, dormant grass around my house should
prove this.
I have lived in this house since the summer of 1998. I know that at least the last 3 summers if not more have had
the odd/even watering ban. I do admit I'd like to have a nice green lawn. However, in order to maintain a nice
lawn throughout a dry summer, it takes a dedicated watering schedule to stay on top of it. I have been and knew
before summer started that I would be away from home a great deal this summer, therefore I did not even try to
water my lawn. Judging by the brown condition of my lawn, it would take a great deal of watering to turn it
around. Tome, a lot of watering equates to a larger water bilL A larger water bill and this $25 fine is something
. am not willing to pay right now.
This past spring I was laid off from my mechanics job at Northwest Airlines, which forced me to re-evaluate my
spending habits. I had to decide which past practices were necessity and which were luxury. In my opinion, a
green lawn is not a necessity. This is yet another reason I have not watered this year.
The only logical reason I can come to as to why this citation was issued is that the accusing party observed my
neighbor watering and mistook it for my yard. My neighbor directly to the west of my house has been watering
recently. In my front yard from my driveway to my neighbors yard, I have a strip of grass that is approximately
8'-10' wide and runs the length of my driveway. This piece of grass has always proved difficult to keep green
even in past years when I did water regularly. Trying to keep the water bill low, I did not even try to save it this
year.
Last week, on the day this citation was issued and late in the afternoon, as I was leaving the house, I noticed that
about a 3' wide strip of my driveway running the entire length was wet including the strip of brown grass. My
neighbors yard was also wet. I did not see anyone around or a sprinkler that was in use. But it was quite obvious
that this area had been watered. I assumed my neighbors were either trying to be nice and do me a favor or they
were trying to send me a subtle message that I should water. I haven't had the opportunity to discuss this with
my neighbor for they are on vacation this week.
To satisfy my curiosity, I would like to know exactly what my accuser observed? What part of my lawn was
being watered and which spigot of my house was the hose attached to? Was it this brown strip of grass in
question and was the sprinkler attached to my neighbors house or mine? I might add that this piece oflawn and
Ay driveway is on the northwest comer of my lot. I have two outdoor water spigots, one on the northeast comer
~fmy house, the other on the southeast comer. Neither of them close this area. In order for me to water it, my
accuser should have noted a hose running across my entire front yard and driveway. Or traced an even longer
run of hose around the backside of the house to reach the other spigot. Ifmy lawn was being watered, the water
1
was not coming from my house.
I have included some digital photos I took of my property this morning. Picture 229 is a view of this strip of
.ass taken from the street. My driveway and garage is on the left it is rust colored with a tan door, my
neighbors house is gray. You might note how brown this grass is compared to my neighbors. Picture 230 is
taken from the side of the garage facing the street. Picture 231 is of my back yard. Note the only green grass in
all pictures is where the grass is under the shade of trees.
If indeed I had been watering my lawn, I wouldn't have a problem paying the fine and I wouldn't be investing
my time to contest this citation. I'm sure you will come to the same conclusion that I have, that this has been an
honest mistake. I'm hoping that you can void out this citation in a timely fashion.
If you have any further questions, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time.

Farmington Water Board:
I received a citation today for watering my lawn during a water restriction. I was not aware of
any watering restrictions, nor do I think I was ever notified of such restrictions. I recently moved
to Farmington from Apple Valley. I am now aware of the restrictions and will abide by them,
but I do not feel I should pay a fine for something I was not aware of or was ever notified of. If
during my utility transfer I signed something acknowledging differently, I will pay the fine for
my mistake. Please take this letter as my contest to this citation.

Subject: Water Restriction notification
Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
I recently moved to Farmington from Apple Valley. So far I like the change. I received notice of a watering restriction via a
citation for violating the restriction. I was not aware of a restriction nor do I think I was ever notified. I think J should have seen it
and possibly signed off on it when I moved in, instead of hearing about it through a $25.00 citation. I realize it is a small amount
of money, but it is a matter of principle to me. I don't think anyone should have to pay for a restriction they were never informed
of. I think a more fair policy would be a warning first or a positive acknowledgment of reading the rules. Enclosed is a letter I
wrote to the Farmington Water Board protesting the citation. Thanks for you time.
Mark Nagel

Attn: Farmington Water Board
325 Oak Street
Farmington, MN 55024
Dear Farmington Water Board:
I am writing this letter to contest the $25 citation, issued to me on August 9,2003 at 12:15 p.m. for violating the
Water Restriction Policy. I am aware of this policy because early in the spring, I received a flyer that explained
the violation procedure. It states that on the first offense, residents are issued a verbal warning and fines are
issued upon further violations. I made the attempt to clarifY the policy to the personnel that issued the citation.
I also explained to her that I was busy completing my house chores and lost track of time. I requested my right
to a verbal warning because it was ONLY 15 minutes past the restriction time. She refused because it was her
duty to uphold the policy.
I am requesting that this fine be dropped and reverted to a first offense warning because I was never given a
warning. The city of Farmington should pardon my actions the way it pardoned my neighbors' incessant,
.nability to restrain their dogs from eliminating their waste on my property. This incident occurred multiple
times and they were issued two warnings, without any citation.
As a responsible, tax-paying, conscientious, Farmington resident, I feel that my tax dollars can be better
allocated to finance: environmental clean-up and crime reduction projects, improve conditions in schools for
reducing class size, teacher or staff training, curriculum development, diversity workshops, and youth
enrichment programs. This will ensure a safe, healthy, well rounded, well informed, and inclusive community
composed of concerned, diverse citizens.
Sincerely,

Dear Sirs:
We appreciate this opportunity to $ubmit a proposal for a Vulnerability Assessment and
Emergency Response Plan for Farmington's water system. Our approach to the project is
developed to meet the following goals of the City:
. Provide the Citywith a cost-effective plan
. Meet all requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
. Provide solid recommendations for improving the security of Farmington' s water system
. Prepare a plan that is easily updated
We will serve two primary roles in this project-facilitator and technical resource.. A project like
this will require input from several City departments. As facilitator, we will seek input from all
stakeholders in thept:'oject. We will also guide the process and produce the planning documents.
.Ast~(jln1i<?aJresource we will provide a critical look at the existing vulnerability of Farmington' s
water~ystem, and provide recommendations for system improvements.
Welpokforwardtoworking with you on this important project. If you have any questions,
please call me directly at 651..604-4842 ore-mail atmwallis@bonestroo.com.

.
Scope of Services
Our approach to preparing a Vulnerability Assessment (VA} and
Emergency Response Plan for the City of Farmington is to provide a
performance-based assessment to fit the City's system profile and needs.
We propose to utilize VSAT™ software as the basis of the assessment.
VSATlM is widely used for preparing vulnerability assessments, and has
been endorsed by the Minnesota Department of Health. We will
supplement this software by our training in Sandia laboratory's RAM-
W" methodology, Cyber assessment methodology, and our long-term
experience developing Emergency Response Plans.
Specific tasks are outlined in the following paragraphs.
.
o Task 1 : Kick-off Workshop
The project begins with a kick-off workshop. It is important that all team
members come to a common understanding of recent water security
Legislation, Vulnerability Assessment methodologies, and the operational
philosophy and mission of the water utility. Specific objectives and
criteria must be defined so that the vulnerability of each of the utility's
facilities can be measured based on those objectives. Since these criteria
become the foundation of the Vulnerability Assessment, it is important
that key decision makers attend this workshop.
Bonestroo will facilitate this workshop. Agenda items will include:
~ A brief overview of VA legislation and methodologies
~ A brief overview of the water system
~ Defining goals and expectations for the project
~ Discuss specific issues affecting the project, including project
security and coordination with other entities (neighboring cities,
Dakota County, etc.)
Identify stakeholders - key decision makers and affected parties
Identify data sources available. These data sources include:
City comprehensive plans
Previous water system plans
Existing Water System Emergency Preparedness Plan
Water use records for high water use customers
Maps and "as-built" plans of water system facilities
County and City Emergency Management Plans
GIS data available
SCADA system documentation
Repair and vandalism records
Existing policies and procedures
Establish the mission of the Water Utility (Answer the question,
"What constitutes a failure of the water system?")
Begin discussion of the Design Basis Threat (Who are we trying to
protect against?)
Develop a preliminary schedule for tasks, meetings and workshops

.
o Task 2: Identify Assets and Threats
In this task, we review the existing data on the water system, and input
water system assets and threats into the VSl\TTM software.
Cateaorlze and Identify Assets
VSI\ TTM categorizes assets in the following categories:
.. Physical-this asset category includes the supply and distribution
system as well as operation and maintenance facilities
.. Employees (including Administration and Utility staff)
.. Knowledge base (record plans, reports, etc.!
.. Customers (especially critical customers!
.. Information technology system
We will review data gathered in Task J, and supplement our knowledge
of the system with interviews of key staff to make a list of assets,
categorize the assets, and enter the assets into the VSl\TTM software.
IdentifY the Design Basis Threats and Assign Threats to Assets
This step takes into account the likelihood of man-made attack scenarios
by examining the kinds of adversaries and probable modes of attack.
Employing input from public safety and security officials is vital for this.
The natural threats to the assets will also be included. Following
completion, Bonestroo will assign the threats to the assets using the
VSl\TTM software.
.
o Task 3: Determine Criticality of Assets
WorkshoD 2
At this workshop, the threats to Water Utility assets will be evaluated in
detail. The workshop will begin with a review of the assets and threats
established in Task 2. Then, system processes, boundaries, and
interdependencies between assets will be evaluated. Critical assets will
be identified and ranked based on the consequences of damage or loss
of the facility or resource. Four levels of criticality are typically sufficient.
The exact definition of these levels will be tailored to the City of
Farmington.
Following the workshop, Bonestroo will enter the data into the VSAT™
software.
o Task 4: Determine Asset Vulnerabilit;y
In this step, existing countermeasures against threats are identified and
their effectiveness rated. Combining this with asset information, we
determine the level of asset vulnerability.
.
Prior to the workshop, Bonestroo will prepare descriptions identifying
the existing security measure protections for each asset and prepare
Adversary Path Diagrams for studying asset protection.
Scope of SelV1ces
Cily of Farmington - Water System Vulnerability Assessment
,
J'
(
WorkshoD 3
We will review potential attack scenarios, and determine which are most
likely. We will evaluate the effectiveness of existing countermeasures
against possible attacks. We will combine this information with our other
asset data to establish relative current values of asset vulnerability.
.
o Task 5: Risk Level Analysis
Bonestroo will update the assets, threats, and existing countermeasures
based on the discussion in Workshop 3. Based on the Criticality of Assets
(determined in Task 3) and the Asset Vulnerability (determined in Task 4),
we then determine the risk level associated with each asset threat.
o Task 6: Risk Evaluation, Management, and
Mitigation
This is the point where the Farmington Water Utility and key decision
makers answer the question, U Are the risks acceptable?" If they are, the
vulnerability assessment process is completed. More likely, the VA Team
will be able to identify several improvements that can reduce risk levels.
Typically those vulnerabilities with the highest risks receive the highest
priority. We will evaluate equipment, technology, structures, procedures,
training, and communications activities that if enacted would effectively
mitigate risks, through a reduction of criticality and/or vulnerability.
.
The improvement actMties will tie back to each of the five utility asset
categories, including such actions as capital.investments, organizational
changes, process reforms, improvements in information management,
and enhanced communications. Implementation will follow priorities set
earlier in this process, with the highest priority vulnerabilities addressed
first. Finally, business continuity plans should include a schedule for
periodic testing.
WorkshoD 4
Bonestroo will provide a summary of the Risk Analysis to the VA Team.
Based on the risk analysis, we will suggest improvements along with
planning-level cost estimates. As a team, we will examine suggested
improvements and brainstorm for additional improvements. The team
will evaluate benefits from the improvements (in terms of reducing risk)
and compare those to the improvement costs and other potential
drawbacks (barbed-wire fences in residential areas for example). The
outcome of this meeting will be a list of realistic improvement options
and their associated costs and benefits. The team will then decide what
(if any) improvements to recommend.
At the end of this task, we will have finalized the evaluation phase, and
we can complete the Vulnerability Assessment.

o Task 7: Report and Presentation
This task represents the culmination of the planning effort. The final
product will be a written report suitable to submit to U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). The report will address the required

components and elements. It will provide specific recommendations for
reducing risks through improved deterrence, delay, detection, response
capabilities, and/or improved operational procedures and policies. The
report will include supporting documentation and background data. It
will include planning-level cost estimates associated with the prioritized
measures recommended to reduce risk levels. All documents will be
stored and transmitted in secure confidential formats.
Since the Vulnerability Assessment is being prepared using VSA TTM
software, the entire analysis can be given to the City on CD. This allows
the City to easily update the analysis to reflect system changes. The
format can also be used to import asset data from other facility
databases.
o Task 8: Emergency Response Plan
The 1996 Water Supply and Distribution Plan included a water system
emergency preparedness plan. In this task, we will update and expand
upon the foundation of that plan. The information collected in Task 1,
along with the resulting Vulnerability Assessment, will be used as base
data to develop the emergency response plans. The plan will be
developed to comply with both EPA and Minnesota DNR requirements.
Workshoo 5
~ Define goals and expectations for the Emergency Response Plan
~ Identify key authorities, managers, responders. and resource
providers
~ Identify the priority asset threats that the plan will provide
responses for
~ Map out preliminary skeleton draft response plans for each asset
threat
Plan Preoaratlon and Certification
Bonestroo will then compile a draft emergency response plan for review
by city staff. Bonestroo will incorporate review comments into the final
plan. We will print five copies of the plan for the City, and submit a
certificate of completion form to EPA.
