Belvidere City Council Meetings

Click the links below to view the Agendas for upcoming City Council Meetings.

Agendas are finalized and updated on this site approximately 2-3 days before the scheduled meeting. If the agenda or information you are looking for is not listed, please contact City Clerk Shauna Arco at 815-544-2612.

Beginning in June of 2002, the Belvidere City Council has changed the meeting schedules for their various committees, and has combined these committees to meet as "Committees of the Whole". This method allows all members of the Council, rather than only a few, to participate on each committee, and provides a more efficient working schedule for the Council. In addition, this should allow the citizens of Belvidere greater opportunity to attend meetings and learn about the workings of City Government.
