After returning from executive session, the Lufkin City Council voted by voice to direct the city manager to facilitate a possible sale of the old jail site, including the site’s mural.
The mayor announced the council’s entry into executive session under Texas Local Government Code Section 551.072 to discuss purchase, exchange, lease, or value of real property to be acquired by the city.
