Marion City Council Rejects Building Code Fee Increases

The Marion City Council last night rejected a proposed increase in several fees within the city’s building code.

City officials wanted to increase some fees that Building Commissioner Jerry Foustnight said had not been increased in many years.  But several council members said they did not want to increase fees when the economy in Marion is struggling.  They felt that would be a deterrent for some residents and businesses to upgrade and expand.

The “Chronicle-Tribune” reports efforts to send the proposal back to committee for changes was rejected on a 5-to-3 vote.
