Quitman County Board of Supervisors Meets March 2 at 9 a.m. in Marks

The Quitman County Board of Supervisors held its regularly scheduled public meeting on Monday, March 2, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. in the Board chambers at the Quitman County Courthouse, 220 Chestnut Street, Marks. The meeting appears on the county’s public events calendar, which in the available entry "lists the March 2 meeting as the next recur," and the meeting title encourages the public to attend.

City-level meeting practice in Quitman is distinct from the county schedule. City of Quitman agenda listings show "Regular Semimonthly Board Meeting" and "Special Called Board Meeting" entries at 5:00 p.m., often in the City Hall Board Room or at the Quitman Depot. Sample city entries include "AGENDA 2024-05-07 Regular Semimonthly Board Meeting Tuesday, May 7, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. City Hall Boardroom" and earlier Quitman Depot listings such as "AGENDA 2023-05-02 Regular Semimonthly Board Meeting May 2, 2023 @ 5:00 p.m. Quitman Depot," reflecting a city meeting pattern that is separate from county business.

For residents seeking to appear before a county board, Clarke County’s publicly posted procedure offers one example of a Mississippi county practice. Clarke County states, "If you wish to appear before the Board of Supervisors to discuss an important matter pertaining to the county, you must fill out a Board Agenda Request form with the Board Secretary." Clarke County further requires that "This form must be submitted to the Board Secretary no later than noon on the Friday prior to the Monday meeting." Clarke County also posts that "The Board of Supervisors meets on the first and third Mondays of each month in the Board Meeting Room in the Clarke County Court House Annex" and that "All meetings begin at 9:00 AM, unless otherwise announced, and are open to the public." The Clarke County contact block in the material includes the address "100 East Church St Quitman, MS 39355" and phone "601-776-5873," along with emails "admin@clarkecountyms.gov" and "boardsecretary@clarkecountyms.gov" — an oddity in the snippet is that Clarke County text lists a Quitman address, which should be clarified.

Items that still require confirmation before publishing definitive guidance for Quitman County include: the full text of the county public events calendar entry (the snippet ends "the next recur"), whether Quitman County uses a Board Agenda Request form and the submission deadline, the regular cadence of Quitman County Board meetings, and official Quitman County contact information for agenda requests and public comment. Until those details are verified, the March 2, 2026 session at 9:00 a.m. in the Board chambers at 220 Chestnut Street in Marks stands as the county’s advertised public Board meeting.
