City Documents

City Council Meeting Minutes are the official record of Council proceedings and are only available on this site after they have been approved by City Council. 

Resolutions are written documentation for any council action of a temporary, routine or administrative nature. These documents and more can be found through Red Wing's LaserFiche system.

Searching

You cannot search within an open document in the Laserfiche .PNG file view. 

  • To search within a document, export to a PDF (click on the PDF tab on the tool bar).
  • It will ask "pages to print", select download and print (don't worry, the document will not print, it will open as a PDF).
  • If it doesn't open as a PDF, be sure your browser is enabled to "accept pop-ups."
  • If over 75 pages, a message may appear saying print only the first 75 pages will print. Click ok.
  • To search within the first 75 pages, press at the same time "Ctrl" and "F."
  • If what you want is not contained in the first 75 pages, go back to the Laserfiche view, click on the PDF tab, select download and print and type in pages numbers to view. For the second round, type in 76 to 151 and so on. Repeat if necessary.
