A budget of about 78 million dollars is being proposed for the City of Danville’s upcoming fiscal year. Comptroller Ashlyn Massey presented the first draft of the budget to the City Council on Tuesday.
Danville’s projected revenue is less than the current year, but that is because the current budget included COVID relief money granted to the city.
The plan would include spending 5.2 million dollars on the firefighters pension, and 4.69 million dollars on the police pension.
The city’s tax levy is the same as last year. City officials think the tax rate may even go down because the assessed value of the city will go up.
An updated budget will be presented to the council next month, as the proposal needs to be approved in December.
