In a special meeting Monday evening, Marion City Council hired Alan Meisinger of Marion as City Clerk.

Angela Lange had served as City Clerk since June 2001. Her last day is Friday.

Meisinger has worked as an accountant with area accounting firms since 1997, most recently Adams, Brown, Beran, and Ball.

The council met in executive session with and without Meisinger, City Administrator David Mayfield, and Lange, and then voted to offer conditional employment to Meisinger, 4-1, with Chris Meierhoff opposing.

Meisinger will be sworn in at the council’s next meeting, 4:30 p.m. Monday in the city building.
