ADJOURNMENT
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). Councilmembers use
iPads to review the files during the meeting. Using the iPad 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. Please 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 on: Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., Saturdays at
12:30 p.m., and Sundays at 1:00 p.m. (Subject to change)
