Members of the public may view HRA meetings online at

HRA Meeting Information  
The HRA is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses. The agendas and  
HRA files are all available on the Web (see below). Commissioners use mobile devices to  
review the files during the meeting. Using a mobile device greatly reduces costs since  
agendas, including the documents attached to files, can be over 100 pages when printed.  
Web  
Meetings are available on the City Council website. Email notification and web feeds (RSS) of  
newly released minutes, agendas, and meetings are available by subscription. Visit City of  
Saint Paul - Calendar (legistar.com) for meeting videos and updated copies of the agendas,  
minutes, and supporting documents.  
Cable  
Meetings are live on St Paul Channel 18 and replayed at various times. Check your local  
listings.
