All meetings of St. Louis Park boards and commissions will be conducted by telephone or other
electronic means starting March 30, 2020, and until further notice. This is in accordance with a
local emergency declaration issued by the city council, in response to the coronavirus (COVID-
19) pandemic and Governor Walz's “Stay Safe MN” executive order 20-056. The chief
administrator has determined that in-person council or commission/committee meetings are
not feasible at this time due to the pandemic.
All board members/commissioners will participate in this meeting by electronic device or
telephone rather than by being personally present at the regular meeting place of 5005
Minnetonka Blvd., St. Louis Park, MN.
Members of the public can monitor the meeting by “listen only” audio by calling +1-312-535-
