Columbus city officials look to expand city’s court system
SUMMARY: The City of Columbus in Mississippi is considering the establishment of an Environmental Court to handle cases related to dilapidated housing, code enforcement, fire code, and animal control issues. City officials visited Hattiesburg to learn more about how the proposed court would operate. The goal is to relieve some of the workload from the current municipal court system. The logistics of organizing the court and the timeline for a city council vote remain uncertain. The new court would allow defendants to provide more details and explanations for their cases, potentially helping them set up payment plans or understand the benefits of code enforcement.
