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

newly released minutes, agendas, and meetings are available by subscription. Visit City of
