Marion council greens sign rule change for banks only
The Marion City Council approved first reading of a zoning change to allow pole signs in the central business district but restricted them to banks savings and loans and credit unions under an amendment by City Attorney Don Hoskins. The move aims to limit signs while Bohemian Savings and Loan gains a time and temperature sign at its 11th Street and Eighth Avenue site. The council also heard a dispute over street paving costs with Iowa Electric Light and Power Co. and directed staff to seek an agreement, and approved a contract with Olson Popa and Novak for phase two of the central business district redevelopment at a 9 percent construction-fee.
