Mayor Don Butterfield
I am thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to represent the fine citizens of Warrensburg as
a member of the City Council. I was born in Enid, OK but I grew up in several states because my Father worked for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and we moved quite often. I joined the U.S. Air Force when I was 19 and retired in July 1987. While in the service I completed a B.S. in
Occupational Education from Wayland Baptist University. This allowed me to apply for and be accepted into the officer commissioning program. After commissioning I was sent to the Whiteman AFB area in 1977 where my family and I lived in and enjoyed the good people, the quality of the community and the sense of “home town pride” that existed here in Warrensburg. Military duties took me away in 1980 but when I retired I brought my family back to Warrensburg to settle down. I completed a M.S. Degree in Industrial Hygiene in 1988 from UCM and went to work for Layne Christensen Company, and international leader in drilling, water resources and mineral exploration based in Kansas City, as the Senior Regional Safety Coordinator. I retired from Layne in 2007 and now practice as a licensed real estate agent. My wife Dawna Lisa, who I have been married to for 8 years, enjoys her work as a Professor of Literacy Education at UCM. I have two children and five grandchildren. My wife has two children with two grandchildren on the way.
I served on the Parks and Recreation Board for three years and now serve as the City Council Liaison to the board. I also serve on the Johnson County C.L.I.M.B. Board. I am a member of the Early-Bird Rotary Club, American Legion and the Chamber of Commerce.
I am excited to be on the Council and looking forward to hearing from anyone with comments or suggestions to make Warrensburg an even better place to live.

Council Member Dr. Curt Dyer
It’s a real pleasure and an honor to serve Warrensburg as a City Council member and Mayor. I grew up in many small communities in Missouri including Sweet Springs, Lexington, Windsor, and Harrisonville. I came to Warrensburg in 1985 to join the medical practice of Dr. Al Folkner and Dr. David Glover. I am a Family Physician and part owner of Central Family Medicine. I am board certified in Sports Medicine and I share responsibilities as team physician for UCM Mules and Jennies and Warensburg HS football. I have served on numerous committees at Western Missouri Medical Center and currently serve as Risk Management Coordinator for Central Family Medicine.
I am married to Lisa, for the past 21 years. In 2008 we became certified as foster parents and our family has grown. Currently, we have eight children and two foster children. I enjoy participating in my children’s lives by coaching their sports at the Parks Department and the YES programs. Lisa and I also lead their Catholic Confirmation classes at Sacred Heart Church. My family and my faith family are my cornerstones. Issues of community health and safety are very important to me. I believe our community is a great place to raise my family. These are exciting times in Warrensburg and I am glad to be serving as your Mayor.

Council Member Baird Brock
I’m pleased to be a member of the Warrensburg City Council and hope to serve well. I grew up in Clinton, Mo. My father was an attorney and my mother, a full-time housewife, was active in numerous organizations, PTA, American Legion Auxiliary, and Cemetery Board. She organized and was the first president of a school for handicapped children. My family raised show horses so during high school years, I broke and trained horses. My educational and professional pursuits have been economics and business. I received a B.A. and M.A. from UCM, and a PH.D. from the Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas. I’ve taught principles of economics, national income analysis, money and banking, history of economic thought and comparative economic systems. The courses I most enjoyed teaching were statistics, econometrics, and qualitative methods. My research interests include state tax forecasting, quantitative analysis of economic data, and the economic data in managerial decisions. I’ve served as treasurer for the Sheltered Workshop, Warrensburg Day Care, and WILS. I’m currently the Treasurer of the Board of the Trustees for the First United Methodist Church. With my wife, Rose Marie Kinder, I am co-owner and editor of Sweetgum Press, which publishes Missouri writers (four titles to date and one on the way). My experience has been economics and civic service. I am concerned about all facets that will further the well-being of the Warrensburg community.
