A proposed $68 million deal to sell a city jail is on hold due to objections from city council members. The council's Public Safety and Legal Administration Committee voted to hold a resolution that would authorize the sale. Council members raised questions about the planned use of the jail, implications for current employees, and how the sales price would be utilized.

Further details about the proposed sale and the committee's decision are available. The sales price was not to exceed $68 million.

The resolution in question would allow the mayor to execute a purchase and sale agreement for the jail.
