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.
