Live testimony will be taken in person in the Council Chambers, Third Floor City Hall.

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 Meetings are available on the City Council website.
