Council Meeting Information  
The City Council is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses.  
The agendas and Council files are all available on the Web (see below). Council  
members use mobile devices to review the files during the meeting. Using a mobile  
device greatly reduces costs since most agendas, including the documents attached  
to files, are over 1000 pages when printed.
