open for in person attendance, but the public may also comment on public hearing  
items in writing or via voicemail. Any comments and materials submitted by 12:00 p.m.  
of the day before the meeting will be attached to the public record and available for

Written public comment on public hearing items can be submitted to  
HRAHearing@ci.stpaul.mn.us or by voicemail at 651-266-6806. Live testimony will be

Members of the public may view HRA meetings online at  
https://stpaul.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx or on local cable Channel 18.  
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  
at https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/STPAUUsubscriber/new.
