Sequoyah County hires Christopher Hoxit as emergency manager after executive session

Sequoyah County Board of County Commissioners · August 10, 2026

Summary

After an executive session to interview candidates, the Sequoyah County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to hire Christopher Hoxit as the county emergency manager.

Chairman Beau Burlison opened the meeting and the board moved into an executive session to interview candidates for the Sequoyah County Emergency Manager vacancy under 25 O.S. 307(B)(1).

Vice-Chairman Ray Watts moved, and Member Jim Rogers seconded, to return to open session and hire Christopher Hoxit for the position. The motion passed unanimously with Waters, Rogers, and Burlison recorded as voting "aye." The names of other candidates considered—Ed Barton and Raymond Yerby II—were recorded in the minutes as part of the executive-session consideration.

The board did not provide further details in the public minutes about Hoxit’s start date or salary. The hiring action was recorded as an approved personnel decision rather than a directive for further study or conditional appointment.
