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.

Cable

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

local listings.
