Quitman County Publishes Updated City of Marks Official Contact Directory

Quitman County's official web pages provide a consolidated listing of municipal officials for the City of Marks and county office locations that residents can use to reach local government services. The directory names City Clerk Shakera McKay, Court Clerk Patricia Thomas, Street Superintendent Gerry Stanford, Chief of Police Marvin Furr, and Utility Operator K T Newman. It also lists county addresses and contact points including the Quitman County Courthouse at 230 Chestnut Street, PO Box 100, Marks, and local offices such as the Quitman County Welcome Visitor Center and other human services maintained for public reference.

These pages are presented and maintained by Quitman County government and serve as the authoritative contact source for county and city level public business. For residents, the practical impact is immediate. Individuals seeking court records, municipal permits, utility assistance, street repairs, law enforcement contact, or information about human services now have named officials and a central courthouse address to use for inquiries and filings. Clear listings reduce friction when residents need to obtain records, request services, or file complaints.

From an institutional perspective, the county maintained directory underscores the role of county government in facilitating access to municipal information and public services. Centralizing contact information on a county managed site can improve coordination across offices and make it easier for residents and community organizations to identify the appropriate official for a given need. At the same time, the accuracy and timeliness of those listings are essential to maintain public trust and to ensure accountability when officials change or responsibilities shift.

There are civic implications as well. Readily available contact information can support voter outreach, candidate engagement, and community organizing by lowering barriers to communication with office holders. It can also assist journalists, researchers, and watchdog groups seeking to follow up on public records or service performance.

Residents should use the listed contacts and courthouse address when seeking services or records, and verify that offices have the most current information when planning visits or filings. Maintaining updated contact pages is a straightforward transparency practice that directly affects everyday interactions between citizens and their local government.
