Danville approves liquor license changes; funds more k9 units

The Danville City Council has voted to update the liquor and video gaming licenses. The plan changes the type and number of liquor licenses. It also changes fees for liquor licenses and video gaming permits. The proposal was developed after meetings with local business leaders. The new proposal creates a video gaming permit which allows 10 businesses in the city to have video games without serving liquor.

 The council also approved a plan to purchase two police dogs and associated training of the canines and canine handlers. The agreement with a professional canine service would cost 33 thousand dollars. The new K9s will learn how to detect narcotics, tracking,  searching, protecting handlers, and controlled aggression. Danville Police hope to start training in April. The Danville Police Department currently has one canine unit.

The council also approved applying for an Assistance to Firefighters grant for 60 thousand dollars. If accepted, the grant would cover 90% of the cost for ten sets of personal protective equipment for firefighters.
