Although some leaders balked at the appointment and considered it a ruse for Jones to find his way back into major office, he as insisted that his focus is solely on the work of the board. On October 29, 2013, the Mobile City Council voted unanimously to pass a resolution that would rename the city’s Mobile Government Plaza to the Samuel L. Jones Government Plaza in honor of his work with the city.
The renaming of the building is still currently pending approval by the Mobile County Commission. Jones, according to what’s been written, is single and never married.
