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

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.
