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 Meetings are available on the City Council website.
