Dundas City Administrator Jenelle Teppen

On Monday, the Dundas City Council held their annual review for City Administrator Jenelle Teppen. The review was based on 7 different categories and whether each council member thought Teppen met the expectations in that area or not. The review also looked at the nine goals the city council had set for Dundas; reviewing progress of them and readjusting as needed. Mayor Glenn Switzer said that the council was very happy Teppen performance:  

So we’re very excited. We’re very happy to have Janelle here and she represents the city of Dundas as you would know and the forum very professionally on and off.” – Dundas Mayor Glenn Switzer on the KYMN Morning Show

One of the major accomplishments that Switzer noted was that Dundas has consistently grown for the last 4 years attracting new business and housing.  

Also at Monday’s meeting the council approved plans for a new water main to be installed in 2025. Currently the Millstone and Stoneridge developments are served by one water main. In 2025 a water main would be installed on Dundas Boulevard (the road that runs parallel to the railroad tracks in that neighborhood) to provide a second connection. Creating a second connection to the subdivisions which would provide service if a water main shutdowns or a break were to occur and improves water flow for fire hydrants. Construction on the project will take place in 2025.
