City Council Meeting Agenda February 13, 2019
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
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. 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)
Many people are extremely sensitive to scented products. Please refrain from wearing or
using fragrances such as perfumes, lotions, aftershave, scented aerosol products, and other
such products.
