Council discusses transferring funds

The City Council of Marlin called for a special City Council meeting last Tuesday evening, June 26, to discuss the possibility of transferring funds from the city’s general operating fund to the water fund account with debt service allocations. Discussions basically began with City Manager, Alan Grindstaff, explaining to the council why they needed to make this move happen.
