Marion Common Council hires seasonal street and parks worker
Summary

The Marion Common Council on June 1 approved hiring Landon Robenhagen as seasonal street and parks help at $18.54 per hour for 30–40 hours a week from June through September.
Elijah Smith, a city staff member, told the council Robenhagen was the only applicant and recommended hiring him because the city crew “is falling behind” with just two full‑time employees; Smith also noted part‑time worker Bill Adams would be gone for June and Council member Dave Mattes had limited availability.
The hiring motion, moved by Wanda Tucker and seconded by Jackie Fritz, carried. Robenhagen was reported to be available to begin work the following day.
The action addresses an immediate staffing shortfall in the city’s street and parks work crews; the council did not provide a recorded roll‑call vote or further details about long‑term staffing plans. The meeting record shows the council handled the hire in open session before moving on to a separate real‑estate matter.
