The Atlanta City Council approved the sale of the Atlanta City Detention Center in an 8-7 vote Monday afternoon.

The adopted resolution authorizes the mayor to finalize the sale. The City Council will later consider additional legislation governing how the city and county operate within the facility. The city has requested one floor of the detention center to continue holding persons detained on city-level charges.
