Danville staff brought a multi‑department capital project list to the City Commission that includes immediate maintenance needs at City Hall, recurring police and fire equipment purchases, public works vehicle replacements and a multi‑year set of parks improvements.

City Hall needs identified by staff include roof repairs and replacement of worn furniture in council chambers and conference rooms; staff estimated the immediate roof work at roughly $30,000 and noted delaying repairs risks substantially higher costs later. The council packet also showed proposals for flooring replacements in the police department and other maintenance items.

Police Chief Don listed routine recurring purchases — body armor, in‑vehicle and mobile data computers, video recording and radio/9‑1‑1 equipment updates — that staff said will be year‑to‑year capital requirements. The police presentation also included requests for gym equipment and vehicle replacements to keep the fleet operational.

Public Works staff asked to replace aging heavy equipment including a dump truck (staff cited a $250,000 new unit estimate but said they were exploring used options), a loader, and a heavy truck lift to keep in‑house repairs feasible. Staff also described sidewalk repair work, wayfinding signs and a municipal aid sidewalk project that requires right‑of‑way agreements with private property owners before the grant will be released.

Parks and Recreation presented projects spanning playground and field improvements at Millennium Park, reworking several ballfields using long‑lasting infield material, replacement bleachers at Jeanie Rogers and parking improvements for heavy event days. Staff emphasized some projects are county‑shared facilities and said they will seek county participation on the larger items. Parks staff estimated a full indoor recreation and aquatic facility as a separate large project (presented in planning scenarios) and discussed possible revenue mechanisms such as a restaurant tax or other local option to finance such a facility.

Staff repeatedly noted that the capital list is preliminary and that capital items were not yet included in the FY26 operating budget. Staff said they will return with recommendations after commissioners identify priorities and after fund‑balance and grant availability are reviewed.
