Danville showing $1.8 million surplus
By STEPHANIE MOJICAsmojica@amnews.com


Alcohol and occupational tax revenues for fiscal year 2011-12 were higher than projected, which helped the city end the year with a near $2-million budget surplus, Danville City Manager Ron Scott said Monday.

During the City Commission meeting, Scott and financial consultant Michele Gosser presented the financial report for the fiscal year that ended June 30. Due to a near 10.3-percent increase in revenues, as well as most city departments coming in under budget, Danville has an extra $1.8 million in its general fund, according to the report.

“I’m hopeful that this is an indication that our local economy may be on the upswing,” Scott said.

Recycling (June 30, 2012)

By DAVID BROCKdbrock@amnews.com


Danville's recycling will still go to Lexington, but some of the money from the sale of that material may be coming back.

It's only two years into the 10-year contract the City Commission entered into November 2010, but City Manager Ron Scott said the agreement provided for some negotiation of the deal. He and City Attorney Stephen Dexter have met twice with representatives from M&M Sanitation, the company that provides both curbside solid waste and recycling services, and a “good faith” agreement is in place to split revenues from sale of the recyclables 50-50.

Team Two for the Road has arrived with a cadre of cameras and a surprising amount of energy after covering hundreds of miles and seemingly as many tourist destinations since pulling out ofWashington, D.C., over the weekend.

About 80 guests greeted Nikki and Dusty Green, who will be in Danville until Thursday as part of the Rand McNally-USA Today Best of the Road Rally, during a party Tuesday at McDowell House. 

The couple, who had just pulled in from their first stop in Jim Thorpe, Pa., are helping decide if Danville will be named the most beautiful small town in the country and be featured in products and publications, including the 2014 Rand McNally Road Atlas.
