Marion council overrules sidewalk objections and sets bids
Marion's city council Tuesday afternoon overruled all but one objection to the 1977 sidewalk repair plan and approved a resolution of necessity. Dale Wilson received an extension to October 31 for replacement work and bids for the No. 2 storm sewer project were scheduled for August 16 with a public hearing August 18. The council also addressed Larick drive issues, diverting storm water to a nearby waterway, and directed staff to report back. An insurance contract with Phoenix Mutual covering city employees costs 48000 dollars, paid by the city, with a health coverage fund to be set up administered by the city clerk, effective August 1.
