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.

Web

Meetings are available on the Council's website. Email notification and web feeds (RSS) of

newly released minutes, agendas, and meetings are available by subscription. Visit

www.stpaul.gov/council for meeting videos and updated copies of the agendas, minutes, and

supporting documents.
