The Chandler City Council has decided to put the length of the main runway at Chandler Municipal Airport to the voters in a 2027 special election.
Council tentatively approved an ordinance at a recent meeting, 6-0, to send to voters a proposed amendment to a 2007 ordinance, which would eliminate a maximum runway length so that the main runway the airport can be extended.
The 6-0 vote included an abstention by Councilmember Christine Ellis, who said at an October meeting that her conclusion is the Council doesn’t need to take the ordinance change to voters.
