The issue of the Women’s Health Clinic is still alive at Danville City Council meetings.
In May, Mayor Rickey Williams cast the deciding vote for Danville to limit medicine and materials used in abortions. It was in response to a planned clinic on Logan Avenue. Ben Sears addressed the Council Tuesday saying during discussion of a planned fitness center, the Mayor said the developer had not gotten needed permits to build the center and that no one is above the law. Sears says he agrees with the sentiment, but the Mayor has been inconsistent.
Sears said voters are still upset about the vote. Several people attended the meeting with pro-choice signs.
The City Council Tuesday approved a proposal for a backup system for the city’s computer network. The plan is for a three year contract with a company to provide the service. The contract would cost 43 thousand dollars in the first year and 40 thousand dollars each of the next two years.
The council also approved a plan to purchase two 1-Ton Trucks complete with plows, spinners, spreaders, and dump beds to be used by the Sewers Division of the Public Works Department. The total cost would be 187 thousand dollars.
