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  
agendas, minutes, and supporting documents.
