Due to evolving
concerns related to the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), the City of Marion
will be closing City Hall and all other City buildings to the public beginning
Tuesday, March 17, 2020 until further notice.
At this time, all City of Marion employees will continue to report to work, and departments will remain open. The City intends to maintain essential functions and services at full capacity. The public will be able to contact all departments by phone and e-mail. Any payments may be delivered to the City’s Drop Box located outside of the office.
The City of Marion
request that residents and other individuals seeking to attend to City-related
business do so remotely when possible, online, by phone or through the mail, or
delay any business that requires in-person interaction with City of Marion
employees until a future date.
Individuals
encountering urgent, time-sensitive situations requiring the attention of City
of Marion staff are advised to contact the appropriate department to determine
if an accommodation can be made.
As there are no
confirmed or presumptive cases of coronavirus in Marion at this time, this
measure is precautionary, and is intended to help reduce the risk of spreading
the virus locally and avoid widespread disruptions to City services.
The City will
closely monitor the status of coronavirus locally to determine when City
buildings can be safely re-open to the public.
The City of Marion
is committed to providing timely and up-to-date information to residents
regarding the status of coronavirus locally and precautionary measures being
implemented by the City.

Mayor
