Message from the Mayor
To our Residents and Guests,
As Mayor, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Lake Winnebago. Whether you are a long-time neighbor or someone visiting our website to learn more about our community, we are glad you are here.
Lake Winnebago has recently entered a significant new chapter. With our lake expansion now complete, unifying the community with a new dam and spillway, we have grown into a more connected and vibrant city. While the Lake is a central part of life here, our focus at City Hall remains on providing the stable, professional governance that keeps our community running smoothly.
A few things that define our city today:
- Safety & Service: We take great pride in our 24/7 Police Department. Having our own officers on duty around the clock ensures that our neighborhoods remain safe and that help is never more than a moment away.
- Our Schools: We are in the unique position of being served by three excellent school districts: Lee’s Summit R-7, Raymore-Peculiar, and Pleasant Hill R-III. We are proud of the academic and athletic opportunities these districts provide our families.
- City Operations: Our full and part-time staff works hard every day to maintain our infrastructure and provide the services you expect. From public works to city administration, we are here to ensure Lake Winnebago remains well-managed and fiscally sound.
Residents often say that the stress of the day starts to fade the moment they pull into the city. It is a sentiment I certainly share. As we move forward, our goal is to maintain that peaceful character while ensuring our city government provides a transparent, accessible, and prepared future.
I encourage you to look around the site to find information on board meetings, city services, or how to get involved. Thank you for being a part of what makes Lake Winnebago such a great place to live. If you are thinking of moving, I cannot think of a better alternative place to live.
Sincerely,
Doug Lennie
Mayor
City of Lake Winnebago
