Atlanta lists John Wolfinger statue donation for Oct. 14 review, with amount unspecified

A proposed city donation for a statue honoring John Wolfinger in John Howell Park is listed for Atlanta committee review Oct. 14, but the agenda leaves the donation amount unspecified.⁠[1]

Councilmember Alex Wan’s ordinance, 26-O-1538, would use the District 6 carry-forward account to make a donation to Virginia-Highland Security Patrol, Inc., specifically to support erecting the statue. The agenda entry contains placeholders rather than a dollar ceiling; it does not explain the recipient’s role in the installation or state the project’s total cost.⁠[1]

The Finance/Executive Committee meeting is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Oct. 14. The agenda notes that the measure was held Sept. 30 at the sponsor’s request, without explaining why.⁠[1]

The listing is a checkpoint for the proposal—not confirmation that a donation has been authorized or a guarantee of a vote. The reviewed agenda identifies where the money would come from and what it would support, but not how much Atlanta would contribute.⁠[1]
