ADJOURNMENT

In-person meetings, or meetings conducted under Minn. Stat. § 13D.02 of the City Council, are

not practical or prudent because of the COVID-19 health pandemic emergency declared under

Minn. Stat. Chapter 12 by Saint Paul Mayor Melvin Carter. In light of the COVID-19 health

pandemic, members of the City Council will participate in City Council meetings by telephone

or other electronic means.

Public attendance at the City Council’s regular meeting location is not feasible due to the

COVID-19 health pandemic. Members of the public may view City Council meetings online at

stpaul.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx or on local cable Channel 18.

The public may comment on public hearing items in writing or via voicemail. Any comments and

materials submitted by 12:00 pm of the day before the meeting will be attached to the public

record and available for review by the City Council. Comments may be submitted as follows:

Written public comment on public hearing items can be submitted to

Contact-Council@ci.stpaul.mn.us, CouncilHearing@ci.stpaul.mn.us, or by voicemail at

651-266-6805.

While the Council will make best efforts to decide all issues before them, the Council may

delay decisions on certain matters where the members believe meeting in-person is

necessary. More information is available at www.stpaul.gov/departments/city-council

Council Meeting Information

The City Council is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses. The

agendas and Council files are all available on the Web (see below). Council members use

mobile devices to review the files during the meeting. Using a mobile device greatly reduces

costs since most agendas, including the documents attached to files, are over 1000 pages

when printed.

Web

Meetings are available on the Council's website. Email notification and web feeds (RSS) of

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

www.stpaul.gov/council 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.
