levels and the associated risk levels. During the second step, countermeasures
were identified to reduce risk levels.
3. Preparation of final vulnerability assessment.
During this step, proposed countermeasures were imported into the VSAT
program. These proposed countermeasures reduced the vulnerability and risk to
the City's municipal water system and were determined by the group to be
necessary improvements to the system.
At their April 12, 2004 regular meeting, the Utility Commission reviewed the proposed
improvements and implementation plan. The majority of the proposed improvements
will be completed by City Staff as part of a maintenance program. Costs associated
with these improvements will be programmed in future water utility budgets.
SUMMARY:
As the details of the vulnerability assessment are critical to the security of the City's
municipal water system, a full copy of the report will be retained in the City's file.
The Utility Commission passed a motion recommending that the City Council authorize
the submittal of the vulnerability assessment to the EPA.
At this time, Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the submittal of the
vulnerability assessment to the EPA.

7a. VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
City Engineer Brotzler brought the Commission up to speed regarding the mandated 2003
Federal legislature regarding a vulnerability assessment. Communities over 3,300 water
customers have to have this assessment done by June 30, 2004. The City formed a group to do
the assessment. Mayor Droste and President Mulhern are a part of the group who went out with
our Public Works and Police Staff to visit the wells and towers to witness the on -site security
measures.
Software was provided with parameters set up. For the most part, the City is at a low or medium
risk. Jayme Klecker from WSB & Associates took the information from the group and entered it
into the software program.
There was a list of minor improvements around the sites which will be forwarded to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A letter will be sent to the Department of Health. The
assessment will be on file, but not for public review.
The Commission questioned the improvements because of the 2006 completion date listed for
the improvements. The improvements will be, for the most part, completed by the Public Works
maintenance staff. That will be the most fiscally responsible way to handle improvements.
The Federal government set minimum standards and this vulnerability assessment meets the
Federal government's criteria. The City put the timeline in for the improvements; it was not
dictated by mandate. Right now only the vulnerability assessment needs to be submitted.
Staff apprised the Commission that the way we allow access to our facilities is going to change.
The Commissioners asked how soon we will hear back from the EPA on the assessment. Mr.
Klecker informed them it would be placed on file with them and the City more than likely won't
hear anything back.
City Engineer Brotzler gave a little background on the SCADA system (Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition System) for the benefit of the new Utility Commission member. The
consultant is working on the preparation of plans and specifications for the update of a new
system. It will operate keypads and alarms on all the wells, towers, lift stations, etc. The plans
should be presented at the May Utility Commission meeting.
MOTION by Mulhern recommending that the City Council authorize the submittal of the
vulnerability assessment to the EPA. Second by Heimkes. Ayes: Mulhern, Heimkes,
Schnieder. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
