Edwards said he will vote against the ordinance due to the disparity in the number of African-Americans sentenced. Rev. Edwards added that he does not feel more money should be put into jails.

Edwards said that the African- American Summit group has discussed meeting with legislators to discuss the concern, as well as a letter writing campaign and court monitors. Responding to a question from Mr. Vandever about the consequences of not transferring the jail property to the Jail Authority, Mr. Clyde Gouldman, City Attorney, said it would be a breach of the joint agreement between the City and County. Mr. Vandever said that he supports the sentiment expressed by Rev. Edwards, but not in this fashion. Mr. Toscano noted that the study of alternatives to incarceration was done in part in recognition of the disparity that exists in sentencing.
