Board directs staff to draft job description for county building/code enforcer

Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors · August 17, 2026

Summary

In response to concerns about heavy-haul impacts, apartment safety and rapid growth, supervisors authorized the county administrator and HR director to draft and post a job description for a planning/code-enforcement position to coordinate permits, enforcement and sheriff cooperation.

Supervisors discussed repeated public complaints about heavy hauling, road damage, and unsafe conditions in some rental properties. The board agreed to create a planning/code-enforcement position to help manage site development permits, hauling permits and enforcement coordination with the sheriff’s office.

The board moved to authorize the county administrator and the human-resources director to develop a job description and post the position; the motion passed unanimously. Supervisors emphasized the role will focus on development oversight (zoning, permits, traffic-impact requirements) and not routine homeowner property disputes. The job would include coordination with the county engineer and sheriff’s department for enforcement and could be tailored to include permitting and inspection responsibilities.
