Mayor R.T. Rybak discusses the Minneapolis Recovery Project.
A message from R.T. Rybak and City Council President Barb Johnson

Minneapolis, like the rest of the nation, is feeling the effects of the recession. That’s why we’re working hard to make the most of federal stimulus funding. We’re taking that job seriously, because at the end of the day, that’s money that we’ll use to put people to work, to rebuild our infrastructure, and to make Minneapolis an even stronger place to live, work, or run a business.

We’re dedicated to going about this work as transparently as possible—by sharing as much information as we can along the way. We hope you find this Web site a valuable resource.

Public meetings

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 funding requires local Council approval for applying for and receiving grants. Each of those meetings is an opportunity for the public to learn more about how Recovery funding will benefit Minneapolis.

Depending on the type of federal funding being sought, these updates will be given to a number of City Council Committees, which will include Committee of the Whole; Transportation & Public Works; Public Safety & Regulatory Services; Health, Energy & Environment; and others.

How to watch City Council meetings

Agendas for all City Council Committee meetings are available on the City Clerk’s Web page, and all meetings are open to the public. You can browse agendas by day, week, or month to find out when Minneapolis Economic Recovery items will be presented to City Council Members.

Can’t make it into City Hall for a meeting? Comcast customers within Minneapolis can see the meetings live on City Government Channel 79. Just check the schedule to find out when a particular meeting will be televised. You can also view the meetings anywhere, anytime you have internet access by watching City Council Webcasts live on the City Web site. Meetings are also archived on the page if you aren’t able to watch the live stream.
