MARION — The Marion City Council will appoint a local resident to fill the vacancy created by Council member Colette Atkins' resignation. The council voted Thursday to approve a recommendation from city staff to fill the vacancy through appointment, rather than a special election. Atkins, who has served on the Marion City Council since October 2018, announced her resignation last week . It is effective March 31. To be eligible for consideration for appointment, candidates must be registered voters of the City of Marion and residents of Ward 1, which covers the southwest quadrant of the city .
