Marion City Employees Receive Pay Increases After Budget Approval
Marion city employees will get a general 5 percent raise effective after January 1, 1971, with police and fire departments getting 7 to 20 percent boosts. The changes, costing about $16,000, were approved along with two budget transfers from the utilities and sanitation funds. An ordinance to raise city officials’ pay and park board stipends was adopted, while council actions included payments to contracting firms for the 1970 project and winter emergency work bids. The council also approved zoning and annexation steps and renewed a liquor permit for Marion Bowl.
