Marengo’s city attorney, Gage Kensler, resigned after being named magistrate in Benton County, according to Marengo City Administrator Ellen O’Rourke. The city was waiting for a proposal from one law firm, O’Rourke said following a city council meeting Oct. 28, but few firms are willing to provide city attorneys. Marengo Mayor Travis Schlabach said he’d reached out to several with no luck. Schlabach and Marengo Police Chief Ben Gray asked the Iowa County Board of Supervisors Oct. 30 if the county attorney would take care of the city’s traffic tickets.
