The City of West Chicago City Council held its regular meeting on September 21, 2026. Key procurement-related actions included approval of a corporate disbursement report totaling $984,632.70 and authorization of multiple contract awards and extensions.

The council also discussed budget policy updates, a proposed increase in the home rule municipal retailers occupation tax, and funding allocations for water and sewer infrastructure projects. The meeting included a motion to allocate 50% of incremental sales tax revenue to the water and sewer fund to address capital improvement needs, though some council members expressed reservations about this approach.
