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

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

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
