WELCOME FROM MAYOR BILL HOOK

WELCOME TO

THE CITY OF BEL-NOR!

On behalf of our Board of Aldermen, City Employees, and Police Department, I want to welcome you to our City. We take great pride in being an inclusive, diverse part of the greater Normandy area, with a rich history and a bright future. Since our founding in 1937, the Village and now City of Bel-Nor has been a special place in St. Louis County where neighbors become friends and multi-generational families come back to live, work, and worship like their parents and grandparents before them.

-Mayor Bill Hook

CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS (05-13-2020)

1. The Regular Meeting of the Board of Aldermen will be held next Monday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m. The agenda for this meeting can be found under the City Information tab. Due to the closure of City Hall, public access to the meeting will be via Zoom software. The link to the meeting can be found at the bottom of the agenda. Thank you for your patience!

2. Due to the current health emergency, City Hall will be closed to the public until further notice. Please click on the link below for more information. 

3. Municipal Court dates have also been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Please go to the  21st Circuit Municipal Court page for further information.

4. The April 7 election has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 2. As of today, this date has not moved again.

5. Voters who go to the polls on June 2 will see on Proposition R, the imposition of annual registration fees for rental property in the City, on the ballot.  Your elected officials have worked hard to come up with a fair and equitable way to hold landlords accountable for the upkeep and maintenance of their properties. Prop R will not impact residents of owner-occupied homes. Please contact your Aldermen if you have any questions at all.

6. A second Proposition on the June 2 ballot is Prop S, an increase in the annual sewer lateral insurance fee. The fee has been $28.00 per year since it was implemented in 2000. For the last several years the City has run a deficit in this restricted fund and has been forced to borrow from the General Fund to continue paying claims for reimbursement. We are asking voters to approve an increase in the annual fee from $28.00 to $50.00, which will put us closer to break-even on the outlays.

Our Resident Handbook is now on-line. Please look under the City Information tab for a copy. The Handbook contains valuable contact information and answers to everyday questions about City codes and regulations.You can find our updated code book by clicking on the link below.
