Government

The city of Rolling Meadows functions under a city/manager form of government. The mayor chairs the City Council, which is made up of seven aldermen who are elected to represent each of the city’s seven wards. As the city’s chief elected officer, the mayor serves as its top representative and as liquor commissioner. He also appoints individuals to serve on the city’s committees and commissions, with the approval of the aldermen.

The city operates several departments, including Community Development, the Finance Department, Public Works and Public Safety.

The Rolling Meadows Police Department has earned recognition from both the Illinois and the International Association of Chiefs of Police for its successful community policing and problem solving efforts. Full-time officers and civilian support employees enjoy a modern police facility, which contains a fully equipped exercise center and locker rooms, a pistol range and a spacious parking lot for its fleet of diverse vehicles.

The department provides fire, rescue and emergency medical services to the citizens and visitors of the Rolling Meadows Community.
