Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.bellevue.net/ (City of Bellevue, Sarpy County, Nebraska; City Hall at 1500 Wall Street, phone 402-293-3000)
- Current agendas: Sparq Meetings public portal, https://meeting.sparqdata.com/public/Organization/Bellevue. It lists City Council and Board of Equalization meetings with agenda PDFs only; it has no minutes.
- Older agendas and minutes: Agenda Center, https://www.bellevue.net/AgendaCenter. The City Council category there stops after March 2026, so minutes exist only through early 2026.
- Board pages: City Council https://www.bellevue.net/426/City-Council, City Clerk https://www.bellevue.net/278/City-Clerk, Boards and Commissions https://www.bellevue.net/386/Boards-Commissions, Planning Commission https://www.bellevue.net/337/Planning-Commission, Board of Equalization https://www.bellevue.net/476/Board-of-Equalization
- Meeting video: City of Bellevue Nebraska YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@cityofbellevuenebraska9111. It carries City Council and Planning Commission meetings.
- Collected 2026-11-12 (added at Dewey's request).
Governing body
- City Council: regular meetings on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday, usually 6:00 PM, City Council Chambers, City Hall (some meetings start at 4:30 PM). Roster as of March 2026 (from older minutes): the agendas read name Mayor Mayor Hike and Council members Councilman Casey and Councilman Burns; the Fire Chief is Fire Chief Guido and the Police Chief is Police Chief Clary. First names, the full Council, the City Administrator and the City Attorney are not named in the agendas read and still need to be captured.

- Board of Equalization: meets at 5:00 PM before the first Council meeting in some months (March, June, September, December)

Data quality notes
- Minutes are not posted for most meetings. No minutes were found for any meeting from April 2026 onward, so meeting pages are built from agendas and video listings only.
- All nine meeting pages are built from the posted agendas (read 2026-11-12); 34 Issue pages and 5 People pages were created from them. Votes are not recorded in agendas, so Issue pages say where an item stands per the agenda only.
- Meeting video dates come from video titles. Council video for 2026-09-15 is titled as starting at the 6:35 mark.
- The Library Advisory Board page lists entries dated in the future, including a cancellation notice for 2026-10-21; these have no pages.
- Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-01.
