ADJOURNMENT  
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board of Commissioners (HRA) meetings are 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 review by the Board.  
Comments may be submitted as follows:  
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 taken in person in the Council Chambers, Third Floor City Hall.  
Members of the public may view HRA meetings online at  
City of Saint Paul - Calendar (legistar.com) 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. Visit City of  
Saint Paul - Calendar (legistar.com) for meeting videos and updated copies of the agendas,  
minutes, and supporting documents.

Meetings are live on St Paul Channel 18 and replayed at various times. Check your local
