• The City of Marion will get a boost for it's Lowe Park Ampitheater project with some Vision Iowa funding:
  
  1. Resolution No. __________ authorizing and execution of a COMMUNITY
  
  ATTRACTION AND TOURISM GRANT between the Vision Iowa Board and
  the City of Marion in the amount of $250,311.00 for the construction of an
  Amphitheater to be located in Lowe Park.
  
  
• I won't post all of the items because they are many in number, but there are several dotting the I and cross the T ordinances related to the continued work on Tower Terrace Road and the Marion Central Corridor Project.
  
  
• There is an item on the agenda about the No Parking on 6th Street request, although that doesn't mean there will be significant discussion the topic.
