Marion council eyed city attorney's request on counsel split
City council expected to act on a request by City Attorney Don Hoskins to allow the Civil Service Commission to hire its own legal counsel.

Also on the agenda are street oiling bids for 154 Street and Sixth Avenue, resurfacing of Golfview Court and 35th Street near the railroad crossing, plus regional planning commission appointments for Leighton Ford and Ed Begley to finish the year.
