At their Tuesday June 19, 2012 meeting, the Danville Town Council voted unanimously to approve the Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for the 2012-13 fiscal year. The $34 million spending plan calls for $26.1 million budgeted for Town expenses, $2 million for the Town as Successor Agency to the former Danville Community Redevelopment Agency and $5,9 million in capital expenditures. The approved budget is down from the 2011-12 expenditures of $35.2 million.    

Town Manager Joe Calabrigo said that the Town was affected by the State of California’s elimination of redevelopment, but due to careful financial planning, Danville was able to approve a balanced budget.  

“The goal of the budget process is to keep the Town’s highest priorities in focus,” Calabrigo explained. “That way we can provide services that are most important to the largest possible segment of our community, while staying within our means.” 

Calabrigo said the Town will continue to operate with sound financial planning, with ten year projections showing that Danville is following a course that is fiscally sustainable.
