New Grant County code‑enforcement officer praised for quick cleanup work
Summary
Commissioners introduced Randy Maccabee as the county's new code‑enforcement officer and credited him with coordinating a multi‑department cleanup of the 'Sunshine Rentals' property and removing long‑abandoned vehicles in Jonesboro within days of inspection.
The commission introduced Randy Maccabee as Grant County’s new code‑enforcement officer and commissioners praised his early results, saying he had “hit the ground running.” Staff credited coordinated action with the sheriff’s office, health department and highway department to clean up the Sunshine Rentals site and to remove a dozen derelict vehicles from county property in Jonesboro in short order.
Commissioners cautioned against overloading the new officer and described continued coordination with town governments and the highway department to prioritize demolition and cleanup work; staff said they will continue to use the county’s unsafe‑building fund and the annual general‑fund allocation to pay for removals. The commission thanked staff and suggested continued data collection to target repeat offenders and investigate possible statutory or ordinance tools to limit bad‑actor purchases at tax sales.
