John Howell Park statue proposed for city donation

An Atlanta ordinance proposes a donation from the District 6 carry-forward account to the Virginia-Highland Security Patrol, Inc., specifically to support a statue in John Howell Park honoring John Wolfinger. The proposed ordinance does not specify a dollar amount.

City Council referred the measure to the Finance/Executive Committee on Sept. 21, and it appeared on the committee’s Sept. 30 agenda. The proposed donation and statue remain subject to city approvals; the agenda does not record authorization to erect it.
