The Public Services Committee Tuesday approved the contract for police officers to be in several Danville Schools.  Police Chief Chris Yates says this new contract provides a fourth officer for the schools, at the request of District 118 officials.

The fourth officer will be funded 100 percent by the schools.  The other three will be 75 percent funded by the schools as they have  been for years.

Danville is going to pay some 44 thousand dollars back to the state for overpayments. The Department of Transportation did an audit that went back to 2014 and found it had overpaid the city.

          The committee also approved creating a budget line item for the 1.4 million dollars being granted to the city.  The money will be used to repair and renovate homes in the city.  The guidelines and application process are expected to be available early next year.

The City of Danville is seeking a 10 thousand dollar grant to help fund the Glow Downtown 5K run.  The Run for Good Foundation Grant approved by the Public Services Committee would provide free registration for those 12 and under as well as providing goody bags and t-shirts for the youth.

All of the committee actions will come to the full council next week.
