The idea of repairing the heating, ventilation and cooling system at the Public Works building has passed a Danville committee. The Public Services Committee okayed spending more than 700 thousand dollars for the HVAC system. The system was originally installed in the 60’s and renovated in 2007.
The committee also has approved a plan to repair the roof of Danville stadium. The roof sustained substantial storm damage this spring. The City’s insurance company provided some 162 thousand dollars for repairs to the damaged section of the roof. The city decided due to its age the entire roof should be replaced. The total replacement cost will be more than 238 thousand dollars.
Danville Area Community College will take over ball fields in Winter Park under a plan given the green light by the committee. Public Works Director Carl Carpenter said DACC approached the city seeking to improve the fields.
All of the committee’s actions will come to the full city council next week.
