Between 2000 and 2010, on the heels of the closure of Fort Ord, Marina’s population dropped by 21 percent, bottoming out at 19,714 residents. During that same time, the city’s downtown, if one can call it that, flagged.

Robert Wellington was the city of Marina's first city attorney, starting in 1975 when the city incorporated. And he served for 47 years in that role, until now as he downsizes his workload.
