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.
