Danville Commission approves FY27 budget, bonds, zoning changes and other measures
Summary
At its June 22 meeting the Danville City Commission adopted the FY2027 budget and several ordinances and resolutions — including a zoning amendment, bond issuance for utility projects, stormwater-fee changes and a downtown food‑truck ordinance — and accepted multiple grants and personnel actions.
The Danville City Commission on June 22 approved the city’s annual operating budget for fiscal year 2026–27 and a package of ordinances and resolutions covering capital projects, public‑space rules and multiple grant acceptances.
On a roll‑call vote the commission passed Ordinance 2066, the FY27 budget, and Ordinance 2067, authorizing the issuance of general obligation improvement bonds, series 2026, to finance and refinance public projects and retire outstanding notes. Staff said the bond proceeds will support utility projects including phase three of the Parabola Road waterline, phase one of the wastewater treatment plant and the McKinney waterline project. Finance staff also read the budget transmittal letter and said the draft budget book will be posted to the city website for public review.
The commission also adopted Ordinance 2065, a zoning‑code amendment to align local regulations with state standards for qualified manufactured homes; Ordinance 2068, amending the municipal stormwater management fee schedule; and Ordinance 2069 (recorded in the transcript as “2016‑9”), which amends the food‑truck rules to allow vendors to operate at the corner of Fourth and Main and extends downtown hours from 9 p.m. to midnight.
In resolutions, the commission authorized disposition of Parks & Rec surplus items (Resolution 2026‑06‑22‑01), approved a scrap‑metal surplus list for municipal utilities (Resolution 2026‑06‑22‑03), and agreed to contribute up to $193,000 (50% match) toward the North Street Lane road project (Resolution 2026‑06‑22‑04) to match county funding. The meeting also included acceptance of two 911‑related grants: a radio‑software grant ($54,866 total, $49,379.40 reimbursable; city match $5,506.60) and a 911‑recorder grant ($28,758.60 total, $26,000 reimbursable; city match $2,758.60). City staff indicated both matches were budgeted.
The commission confirmed a reappointment — Phil Showalter to the County Assessments and Appeals Board for a three‑year term — and accepted two employee resignations and approved two hires in the open‑session personnel actions following a brief executive session.
