In an effort to reform the city's historic preservation law, the Mobile City Council Tuesday tabled an ordinance in favor of creating a committee to study the issue. On Tuesday, the Mobile City Council voted to delay action on reforming the Mobile Historic Development Commission (MHDC) for one month, to try and come to a compromise between the city's current law and state regulations. 'I ask those in the historic preservation community, within the MHDC and everyone else, to be patient as we work through this process,' Councilmember William Carroll, the primary driver of this effort, said during the meeting.
