On Sept. 16, Mark Dunning was sworn in as the City's new city manager. Dunning replaced Stephen Arbo who retired in September.

“I want to thank the mayor and City Council for providing me this opportunity to serve the residents and community stakeholders of Lee’s Summit,” said Dunning. “I am looking forward to working collaboratively with council, City employees, residents and the business community as we advance the many important initiatives already underway. As a life-long resident of Lee’s Summit, I consider it an honor and a privilege to serve in the city I love.”

Dunning is an accomplished local government professional with over 24 years of public sector experience. He began his career with the City in 1997 and previously served as the assistant city manager of infrastructure and development. As city manager, he will oversee a budget of approximately $78 million and a workforce of 650.
