City Council

The City Council is the legislative and policy-making body of our city government. The City Council sets city policy by voting on and passing ordinances and resolutions. The Council also approves the annual city budget and appoints or removes certain board, committee and commission members. City Council members serve four-year terms and prepare for and participate in two regularly scheduled meetings per month and any special meetings as might occasionally be necessary to address matters of urgency.

City Council representation is divided among the city's three Wards, shown here, based on population. Two Council Members represent each Ward and those running for election to City Council must live in the Ward they represent. However, all Council Members are elected at-large, meaning every Bella Vista voter chooses a candidate for every Ward, even if they don't live in that part of the city. For more information on municipal elections, visit the Benton County voting website here.

City Council work sessions are typically the third Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m.
City Council regular meetings are typically the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
Meetings are held at Bella Vista District Court, 2482 Forest Hills Blvd.
