meetings are open for in person attendance, but the public may also comment
on public hearing items in writing or via voicemail. Any comments and materials
submitted by 12:00 p.m. of the day before the meeting will be attached to the
public record and available for review by the Board. Comments may be
submitted as follows:
Written public comment on public hearing items can be submitted to
HRAHearing@ci.stpaul.mn.us or by voicemail at 651-266-6806. Live testimony
will be taken in person in the Council Chambers, Third Floor City Hall.
Members of the public may view HRA meetings online at
https://stpaul.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx or on local cable Channel 18.
## 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
