Commissioner Christy Kervin moved that the Parks and Parkways Commission propose the Old City Jail historic site (referred to in discussion as the old Mandeville jail) to the city council as one of the commission’s projects; Commissioner Will Afton seconded the motion and the commission approved it.
The proposal followed a brief discussion of the site’s history, current use and potential improvements to landscaping and seating areas. Commissioners framed the recommendation as a project the parks commission can present to the city council for further study and possible city-supported work.
The commission did not vote on specific design details, funding sources or timelines at the meeting; the motion was a recommendation to place the site on the city council agenda. The next procedural step is for staff to forward the commission’s recommendation to the council for review.
