Chandler City considers Chandler Int site for new fire and police station
Rex N Eyler city council property committee chair says a recommendation to build a combined fire and police station on Chandler Industrial site may be submitted soon. Aldermen favor the Chandler lot near the post office for a municipal building with some debate on City Hall inclusion. Eyler urges completing the whole project now with available funds, or at least design so City Hall could be added later. The proposal follows VA acceptance of 9500 for adjacent Chessel Allen property and bids for Connors plumbing and heating fixtures. Council action also covers New Year hours, park equipment purchases, Christmas decorations grant, license approvals, and financial allocations including building fund reinvestment and tax levy readiness.
