City Council |
The City of Marion operates under the Council-Manager form of government. The elected City Council hires a City Manager to manage the day-to-day operations of the City government.
The Mayor and all five members of the City Council are elected at-large on a non-partisan basis by the citizens of Marion for four year staggered terms.
The City Council meets twice a month, on the first and third Tuesday (except in July and December) at the City Hall, located at 194 North Main Street. Meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. One Council meeting is usually held during the months of July and December. The public is always welcome to attend Council meetings and to speak on any issue they wish.
