The council authorized Marion to buy a replacement Ford F-550 for the Street Department for $64,974 after the old truck was totaled. It also approved three tax-increment financing items, including redevelopment agreements for properties on East Jackson Street and East Jefferson Street, plus FY26 TIF grant applications submitted by October 9, 2025. The city voted to renew its liability and workers’ compensation insurance through the Illinois Risk Management Association even though the premium was higher than before. Residents also heard that the city is encouraging people to opt out of the Homefield energy program to try to save money, and that trick-or-treating will be October 31 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
