Marion gained a new city administrator on May 1. Marion City Administrator Brogan Jones graduated in May with his Masters in Public Administration from Wichita State University. He just turned 28 at the end of June. This is his first time being a city administrator, but he lived in and worked for the city of Lyons in code enforcement building inspections so there is some crossover for him. Jones, who is married with a child on the way—his wife is due in August—is happy to be settling into small town Marion. He and his wife moved there recently and enjoy many things about it. “We like that it’s not too far from home. It’s just an hour away. It’s still a small town like we’re used to. So we get out, and go on walks,” said Jones. “It’s quiet where we bought our house. So it’s just a nice small quiet town, and it’s got a lot of character that we don’t have back home. Everything back home is straight lines and boxes, but it’s not like that here.”
