Marion voters went to the polls Tuesday and elected Stacey Collett, Gene Winkler, Bill Holdeman, and Jerry Kline to Marion City Council.
By a margin of three to one, residents of Marion-Florence USD #408 overwhelmingly approved the school bond issue to fund the construction of a gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, and fine arts center, 988 to 347.
Collett and Winkler each received 519 votes; Holdeman 460; and Kline 355.
Collett and Winkler will serve four-year terms, and Holdeman and Kline will serve two-year terms.
The new council and members will take office at the city's next meeting which is at 4 p.m. Monday in the city building.
Incumbent Jim Crofoot and appointee Max Hayen, who was appointed to serve the unexpired term of the late commissioner Larry McLain, were not re-elected to their respective positions.
