Marietta City Council will consider one item of old business and 10 of new business today in its second regular business meeting of the month.
The position of a part-time clerk in the Department of Property Maintenance solely for the year 2021 (a trial-year, per past council committee discussions) is up for a vote today to serve alongside the city’s code enforcement official.
The pay scale and expected duties for such a new position have been a topic of frequent debate in Employee Relations Committee leading up to today and are the reason that the legislation was not introduced by that committee’s chairwoman, Councilwoman Cassidi Shoaf, R, at-large.

A joint committee meeting of Marietta City Council scheduled for today will discuss Butler Street: the portion that cuts through the heart of Marietta College’s campus.
Officially, the agenda item marked on the Planning, Zoning, Annexation and Housing Committee combined with Streets and Transportation Committee is a discussion on “update on Butler Street- Increase student safety crossing Butler.”
In a joint statement written and posted to the city’s Facebook page, Mayor Josh Schlicher and Safety-Service Director Steve Wetz purported to “value all input and consider all before making a final decision.”
But that same announcement also defines when the public is allowed to participate, according to its authors.
