CITY COUNCIL
City Council Work Session: March 11, 2009
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Cities are requited by Minnesota Statute to have an Emergency Operations Plan. Rosemount's plan was
last approved and adopted by the City Council in 1996. A significant updating of the plan was done in
2004; however, the EOP was never brought to Council for formal adoption it was only reviewed at a
Work Session. This upgrade of the EOP is intended to be finalized and adopted by Council.
ISSUE
The City Emergency Operations Plan is an All Hazards Plan that is intended to be a document with
guiding principles and practices that may be applied to any type of emergency or disaster that may occur
within the City. All hazards plans are considered a best practices because it is impossible to predict the
details of the where, when, what and all other factors of disasters. Each factor impacts the decisions and
actions that will need to be taken to respond and recover from an event.
The EOP is broken down into annexes of more specific functions and duties that will need to be
completed in emergencies. These functions are generally assigned to the city department and position
within the department which completes the same or similar task as part of the normal operations of the
department.
Exercising of the EOP or portions of it is done annually. The City is able to meet this exercise
requirement quite often by participating with private industry and other government entities. For example,
on Thursday, February 26 Flint Hills Resources coordinated a table top exercise to discuss a chemical
release that impacted areas off their facility site. We had police officers, fire fighters and the
communications coordinator at this exercise. Later this year, a county -wide functional exercise will be held
in Rosemount and we will also participate in that exercise as well as a table top exercise in the summer to
assist in the planning of the fall functional exercise. In addition to Flint Hills; pipeline companies, CF
Industries, Ferrel Gas and other private companies have held table top exercises that have included
Rosemount's first responders as participants. In the spring of 2007, a table top exercise was held with
department heads and supervisory staff to discuss planning for pandemic flu and continuity of operations.
The EOP will be reviewed this year by the Dakota County Emergency Services Coordinator. This review
will take place after the discussion and review held with the Council, but likely before Council adoption of
the plan to allow him an opportunity to provide feedback and recommendations before it is adopted.
Another review will be conducted by the Regional Review Committee (RCC) and is tentatively schedule
for April 1, 2009. The state's Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division divides the state
into regions and the RCC then reviews the plans of selected cities within the region. Their review is
confined to items in the plan required by the Superfund Amendments and Re- Authorization Act of 1986,
commonly referred to as SARA Title III. SARA establishes requirements for government and private
industries related to planning and reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals. Facilities with thresholds
of certain extremely hazardous substances are required to develop plans and provide these plans to local
first responders. The RCC will review Rosemount's EOP to ensure it complies with the 19 requirements
of SARA Title III that apply.
SUMMARY
The EOP presented for Council review and discussion at the Work Session. It is a draft version. Final
formatting and proofreading have not been completed but the content of the document is not expected to
be edited or altered unless changes or modifications are requested by Council. In addition to printed
copies of the plans, once finalized it is anticipated that an electronic version of the plan will be developed
to incorporate and take advantage of hyperlinks within the document to access data within the plan and to
access web sites with additional information.
Annex K Hazardous Materials may undergo more changes because it is the Annex which has the most
SARA requirements and also is impacted by the number of facilities in the City which are covered by
SARA. These facilities had a March 1 reporting requirement to the state and the information was just
received this week by city staff.
Council will be provided an overview of the EOP at the meeting.
NO1 E: Not all attachments are included in the EOP packet. Attachments that are maps have not been included but will
be brought to the meeting and will be included in the final document. Most of the maps are related to Annex K and SARA
Title III 302 facilities in the community.

Foreword Basic Plan
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision: 6
The basic purpose of this plan is to provide a guide for emergency operations. The plan is
intended to assist key city officials and emergency organizations to carry out their
responsibilities for the protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency
conditions.
When disasters threaten or strike a jurisdiction, people expect elected leaders to take immediate
action to deal with the problem. Local government is expected to marshal its resources, channel
the efforts of voluntary agencies and private enterprise in the community, and solicit assistance
from outside the jurisdiction, if necessary.
This is the Emergency Operations Plan for the City of Rosemount, Minnesota. It assigns
responsibility to organizations and individuals for carrying out specific actions in emergencies
exceeding the capacity or routine responsibility of any one agency. The Plan sets forth lines of
authority and organizational relationships and shows how coordination should be achieved. The
Plan describes how people and property will be protected and identifies personnel and resources
available within the city, or by agreement with others, for use during response and recovery
operations.
Although an organization may have the foresight to plan for anticipated situations, such planning
is of little worth if the planning is not reduced to written form. Personnel familiar with unwritten
plans may be unavailable at the time it becomes necessary to implement them. A written plan
will furnish a documentary record, which can be referred to as needed. This documentary record
will serve to refresh the knowledge of key individuals and can be used to inform persons who
become replacements.

I. REASON FOR THE PLAN
Foreword Basic Plan
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision: 6
Tornadoes, storms, blizzards, and other natural disasters can affect the City of Rosemount. In
addition, major disasters such as train wrecks, plane crashes, explosions, accidental releases of
hazardous materials, pipeline leaks and enemy attack pose a potential threat to public health and
safety. An emergency plan is needed to ensure the protection of the public from the effects of
these hazards. Based on the historical data of events in the community, the most likely disasters
to occur are:
A. Tornadoes and/or straight line winds
B. Flooding streets and holding pond system
C. Accidental release of hazardous materials
D. Explosions
The areas of the community most vulnerable to natural disaster (A B) are unpredictable.
Areas most vulnerable to hazardous materials releases or explosions are consistent with the maps
provided in Annex K.
II. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The City of Rosemount has many capabilities and resources which can be used in the response to
any major disaster. These include the facilities, equipment, personnel, and skills of both
government and non government professions and groups in Rosemount. The purpose of this plan
is to ensure the effective, coordinated use of these resources so as to:
Maximize the protection of life and property
Ensure continuity of government
Sustain survivors
Repair essential facilities and utilities
III. EMERGENCY PLAN ACTIVATION
There are different levels of emergency condition(s), which warrant differing levels of response
and authority to implement the City of Rosemount Emergency Operations Plan.
A. The plan will not be activated in the event of a regular emergency, which may require the
deployment of Police, Fire, EMS, Public Works or other city staff, in order to protect life
and property and alleviate human distress. In such cases normal department procedures will
be employed.
B. The plan or part of the plan may be activated in the event of an unusual or major emergency
which will require action and coordination beyond normal procedures in order to protect life
and property and alleviate human distress, or when the capabilities of the City of
Rosemount are not exceeded but the incident requires assistance of more than Police, Fire,
EMS and Public Works personnel. Such incidents may involve flooding, hazardous
materials, multiple injuries, extensive displacement/evacuation of residents /public,

VI. DIRECTION AND CONTROL
Foreword Basic Plan
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision: 6
The direction and control of government operations from a central, protected facility with
adequate communications and key personnel is essential to conducting emergency operations.
The city administrator is responsible for providing overall direction and control of city
government resources involved in the response to a disaster. The emergency management
director will serve in a staff capacity and will implement this plan and will coordinate emergency
operations.
Direction and control of the city's response to a major disaster will take place from the
Emergency Operating Center (EOC), which is located at 2875 West 145 Street in the City Hall
Council Chambers.
While the overall direction and control of the city's response to a disaster will emanate from the
EOC, the ranking or senior officer of the city department that has the designated primary
responsibility will perform direction and control at the scene of the incident. If necessary, the
determination of which department has command authority at the scene will be made by the
mayor and/or city administrator or his/her designee or successor.
VII. EMERGENCY RESPONSIBILITY ASSIGNMENTS
A summary of the city's emergency responsibility assignments, by function, is shown in
Chart B (attached). Heads of the various city government departments and agencies will be
responsible for carrying out the assignments shown on this chart. Additional information about
these emergency responsibility assignments is contained in the annexes to this plan. One annex
exists for each of the responsibilities or functions that are shown on Chart B.
Responsibilities have been assigned by code letters:
"P" indicates primary operational responsibility, which means the official or agency is in
charge of, and responsible to make provision for, that function.
"S" indicates support responsibility, which means those so assigned will, if possible, support
and assist the official or agency designated as primarily responsible.
"C" indicates coordination responsibility, and is assigned when several agencies have
support capability but no specific official or agency has obvious primary responsibility.
This will especially be true when non government agencies are involved.
VIII. OPERATIONS POLICIES
A. Protection of life and property and alleviation of human distress will be the primary
responsibility of government at all levels.
Page 4 of 9
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Foreword Basic Plan
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision: 6
B. In an emergency affecting more than one political jurisdiction, officials of all jurisdictions
involved will coordinate their services to the maximum extent possible.
C. The city's emergency management director will assist in providing resource coordination
between government agencies and the private sector.
D. City government resources will be utilized to the maximum before requesting county, state,
or federal assistance.
E. Each agency, department, or service of city government will provide for the maintenance of
records during an emergency. These records should include work hours, equipment hours,
supplies and materials consumed, injuries to personnel, and damage to public facilities and
equipment.
F. In the event of a major disaster, the mayor may declare a local emergency. Such a
declaration will invoke necessary portions of this plan, and will permit the city to take such
actions as may be required to protect lives.
G. Special consideration should be given by the appropriate department to those facilities that
are critical to the municipality.
H. Each department is responsible for maintaining training records for its personnel. This
includes NIMS compliance, first aid training for first responders, hazardous materials
response and other applicable training. Training shall be completed to meet at least the
minimum requirements for each department or discipline, e.g. first responder medical
training requires sixteen hours of continuing education every two years.
IX. SUPPORT
A. County Government Support
I nformation and assistance in securing county government support may be obtained by
contacting the Dakota County emergency management director.
B. State and Federal Government Support
1. General
Information and assistance in securing state or federal support should be obtained by
contacting the Dakota County emergency management director. In addition, the nearest
Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM)

assistance, if requested. A summary of state and federal disaster assistance programs is
Page 5 of 9
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Foreword Basic Plan
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision: 6
contained in Disaster Response and Recovery; A Handbook For Local Government.
This document is on file with the city emergency management director.
2. Emergency Assistance
In the event of a major emergency /disaster which exceeds the resources and capabilities
of both city and county government, and which necessitates immediate state and/or
federal assistance, the state duty officer shall be contacted. The state duty officer will
assist in defining the needs for response and notifying the needed resources that are
identified for assistance.
3. National Guard
When a natural disaster or other major emergency is beyond the capability of local
government, support from the National Guard may be available. Only the governor, as
commander -in -chief of the Minnesota National Guard, has the authority to activate the
guard. The purpose of activation is to ensure the preservation of life and property and to
support civil law enforcement authorities.
a. Operational Policies
National Guard assistance will complement, and not be a substitute for, city and/or
county participation in emergency operations. If made available, National Guard
personnel will remain under military command at all times, but will support and
assist city and/or county forces in the accomplishment of a specific task or tasks.
b. Request Procedure
In the case of counties, and all cities that are not of the first class, the sheriff is the
only local government official authorized to submit the request for National Guard
assistance. The mayor, city administrator, or the Dakota County emergency
management director can make the request to the sheriff.
c. 55 Civil Support Team
This full time National Guard unit provides on -scene response within approximately
two hours to incidents involving weapons of mass destruction, including chemical,
biological, radiological and explosions. The 55 Civil Support Team can be
contacted through the state duty officer.
4. Federal Assistance for Serious Hazardous Materials Accidents/Incidents
If the party responsible for a serious hazardous materials accident is unknown, or is not
taking appropriate action, and the response is beyond the capability of state and local
governments, the federal government may be able to provide assistance. Such assistance
can be requested through the state duty officer.
X. PLAN UPDATING AND DISTRIBUTION
A. For the purposes of this plan, the City of Rosemount emergency management director shall
serve as the planning coordinator. As such, the director shall have overall authority and
responsibility for the maintenance of the plan.
Page 6 of 9
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Foreword Basic Plan
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision: 6
B. This plan will be reviewed and updated as necessary, but at least once annually. The plan
will be updated in accordance with the schedule and procedures established by the
Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. In order to carry
out this task, the director may request assistance from city staff and the Dakota County
emergency management director.
The city is in compliance with the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management and Federal Emergency Management Agency exercise requirements, as
published. At least once annually, the City of Rosemount conducts or participates in a
tabletop, functional or full -scale exercise to test the planning and operational components of
its emergency operations plan. Upon completion of the exercise, an after action review is
held to determine strengths and areas which may need improvement. Such exercises shall be
in compliance with MN HSEM exercise requirements, and in compliance with Homeland
Security Exercise Evaluation Program (HSEEP) requirements.
A copy of the City of Rosemount's current methods and schedules for exercising its
emergency plan are located at the Rosemount Police Department, 2875 145 Street,
Rosemount, MN. Contact the chief of police for further information.
C. In addition to this plan, each city department is responsible for maintaining current
operating guidelines and procedures specific to the department's operations, resource lists
and other documentation that will assist in performing the functions delineated in this plan.
D. This plan will be distributed to all city government departments and agencies which have
emergency assignments in the event of a major disaster. The emergency management
director will maintain the plan distribution list.

City of Rosemount Annex A Notification Warning
Emergency Operations Plan
I. PURPOSE
This annex describes the warning systems in place in the City of Rosemount.
II. SITUATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
A. Situations
1. There are many situations in which public warning is necessary. Severe weather,
hazardous material spills, crime alerts and other threats to public safety may need to be
communicated to the public quickly.
2. The Police Department is the primary activation point for public warning systems in the
city. The police supervisor on duty, or if no supervisor is on duty the senior officer, is
responsible for activating the warning system.
3. City warning systems include:
a. Outdoor warning sirens
b. Media announcements
c. Cable TV override
d. Other methods, i.e. door -to -door, etc.
B. Assumptions
1. Persons in the community who are directly threatened by a hazard may ignore, not hear,
or not understand warnings issued by the government.
2. Special needs groups such as the hard of hearing, sight impaired, physically disabled, or
institutionalized, require special attention to ensure a workable warning system is
established.
3 Emer gency response organizations such as Police, Fire, EMS and Public Works
Departments may be called upon to help warn the public.
4. Radio and television stations ma y be willing to issue warning announcements.
5. NOAA weather radio stations will disseminate watches and warnings for severe weather
in the area.
III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. General
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision:
1. Notification of key government officials and emergency response organizations is
initially done through the Dakota Communications Center (DCC). Police, fire and
medical notification will begin when the DCC receives or is notified of an emergency
incident. The first notification to public safety first responders will generally be via
radio communications.
Notification of key government officials will be initiated by the first responders. A
request may be made to have the chief of police, police lieutenant, fire chief, assistant

City of Rosemount
Emergency Operations Plan
Annex A Notification Warning
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision:
fire chief or city administrator contacted by telephone. Notification of other key
officials will be the responsibility of the command staff officers involved. This
notification will generally be done by telephone and may be designated to another
person. An emergency contact list of key government officials and emergency
organizations is included as Attachment A -1. This attachment is updated at least
annually.
2. Several warning devices are used, depending on the hazard.
a. Tornado /Severe Storm
1) Outdoor warning sirens
2) Cable TV override
3) Door -to -door or other individual notifications
b. Hazardous Materials Incident
1) Local TV and radio media
2) Outdoor warning sirens
3) Door -to -door or other individual notifications
c. Flooding
1) Local TV and radio media
2) Door -to -door or other individual notifications
d. Other Hazards
1) Local TV and radio media
2) Cable TV override
3) Other notification methods
3. There are several components of the public warning system. Certain parts of the system
are operated by agencies other than the City of Rosemount.
a. Twelve outdoor warning sirens are maintained and operated by the city. Their
manufacturer's specifications predict coverage in ideal conditions that adequately
covers the majority of outdoor locations in the city. Sirens are installed at locations
throughout the city (Attachment A -2 Map).
b. The cable TV override provides a video text message that pre -empts
programming on city cable channel 22. This system is maintained by Charter
Communications and is activated as outlined in Attachment A -3.
c. Local media may be used to provide warning. Most often, during severe weather
events, the media alert the public automatically. For specific events within the City
of Rosemount a special media bulletin may be released with instructions for the
public. Specific information regarding media releases is outlined in Emergency
Public Information Annex C.
d. Police, Fire, EMS or Public Works personnel may be called upon to make door -to-
door announcements. They may use bullhorns or public address /siren units to alert
citizens. This method is not effective for general warning, but may be used to target
specific areas or to provide specific information.
e. Special need facilities and populations may receive warning via media or via NOAA
weather radio, but not directly from any city operated warning system component.

IV. ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
A. General
Annex A Notification Warning
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision:
B. Interjurisdictional Relationships
1. The city is responsible for providing warning within the city limits of Rosemount.
Neighboring cities or Dakota County emergency personnel are responsible for providing
warning to all residents in communities adjacent to the City of Rosemount. However,
the outdoor warning sirens of the adjoining communities may provide overlapping
notification.
2. There are a number of SARA Title III 302 facilities in the city that store or use
hazardous materials in a quantity that requires the development of an Off -Site Plan.
These plans are filed in the Police Department Briefing Room and at Fire Station #1.
They describe procedures that the facility will take to notify the City of Rosemount in
the event of a hazardous materials incident. The facility staff is required to notify the
state duty officer at the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Division of
Emergency Management in the event of any hazardous material incidents at the facility.
The duty officer will notify other agencies as required. The facility staff should also call
9 -1 -1 to notify local officials.
Upon notification of a hazardous materials incident, the police supervisor on -duty or if
no supervisor is on -duty then the senior officer, will ensure that proper procedures for
notification of emergency public safety personnel and those personnel identified on the
Hazardous Materials Notification List (see Hazardous Materials Notification List
Attachment A -4) are followed and that a "Response Level Description" has been
obtained. (see Response Level Description Attachment A -5).
1. The Dakota Communications Center is the official county warning point. The county
warning point is responsible for relaying warnings to the City of Rosemount through the
Police Department, which serves as the city warning point. The outdoor warning siren
system is operated through the Dakota Communications Center as the contracted
dispatch provider for Rosemount Police and Fire Departments. All other warning
systems are handled by City of Rosemount staff.
2. Departments that become aware of a need to alert the public of an emergency should
advise the Police Department so that notifications and warning can be made.
B. Task Assignments
1. The first police officer on the scene of the incident will be in charge of the scene until
relieved by a supervisor. In the event it is a fire or hazardous materials incident, the first
fire unit on the scene will designate an incident command.
Page 3 of 9
City of Rosemount
Emergency Operations Plan
Annex A Notification Warning
Effective Date:
Rescind Date:
Revision:
2. The officer in charge at the scene may implement callout rosters, paging and other
contacts to alert other emergency responders. This may be done either through the
Dakota Communications Center or Police Department secretarial staff.
3. The officer in charge may implement other warning plans to provide warning if one
warning system component fails to work or additional systems are deemed necessary.
V. ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS
A. Administration
General resource phone numbers and contacts may be attached to this plan. The EOC
maintains callout lists for various warning situations.
B. Logistics
1. Rosemount emergency warning siren systems are tested on the first Wednesday of each
month. Tests are conducted at 1:00 p.m.
2. During warning system tests, police and other city personnel may respond to each
outdoor warning siren site to verify that they work. Repair and maintenance of the
sirens is contracted through a private vendor and is coordinated by the emergency
preparedness manager or deputy manager, i.e. chief of police or police lieutenant.
VI. PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
This annex is a responsibility of Rosemount Emergency Preparedness Management. All tasked
organizations are required to develop attachments and keep them current.
VII. TESTING AND SIREN MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
A. Siren Testing
A test of the outdoor warning siren system is conducted the first Wednesday of each month
at 1:00 p.m. Upon request by the county warning point, police officers, community service
officers and public works personnel should be prepared to receive and acknowledge the test
warning and/or monitor Rosemount siren sites to confirm siren soundings.

equipment and are dispatched by the Dakota Communications Center. In the event a command
vehicle is required, the Eagan Fire Department and Flint Hills Resources maintain mobile
command vehicles that may be available for use by the Rosemount Fire Department.
The Rosemount Fire Department has the primary responsibility for response and coordination of
hazardous materials incidents within the city. The Fire Department responds at the First
Responder /Operations Level. Response is limited to doing initial size -up and support of
responding hazardous materials teams with personnel and resources.
In the event of a hazardous materials incident beyond the scope of the Fire Department's
capabilities and their immediate mutual aid, the Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency
Management State Duty officer (651- 649 -5451) would be contacted for possible activation of
the MN State Chemical Assessment Team or Hazardous Materials Response Team. This call to
the Duty Officer will typically be made through the Dakota Communications Center; however,
the call may also be made by a first responder at the scene. Typically, a call from on -site will be
made by the incident commander or designee.
The ability of the Rosemount Fire Department to mitigate and control a situation would be
dictated by the hazardous material and the resources immediately available, and whether the
situation would be consistent with the training level of the responders within the city. All
responses to hazardous materials incidents would be coordinated and managed by the incident
command system. Hazardous Material Incident Response is also addressed in the Rosemount
Fire Department's Standard Operating Procedures.

For the purposes of the Rosemount Emergency Operations Plan, a vulnerability planning zone is a 2500
foot radius around a SARA 302 facility. The zone is to establish facilities which either contribute
additional risk or are subject to additional risk in the event of a release. These zones can be used as a
guide for facilitating evacuation in the event of a product release. These zones were established through
the use of CAMEO and the 1996 North American Emergency Response Guidebook. The 2500 foot
radius represents probable worst case scenario for city 302 facilities in the event of a release.
