I think that the police department does need a building. New national standards require separate…Read More ventilation systems for prisoners to reduce unhealthy exposure. Also, new standards require "hardened" facilities to assure uninterrupted protection during emergencies. In addition, there are many more issues that after review seem reasonable.
However, we don't need a new 71,000 square foot building which would rival in size, our current village hall - a building many call a Taj Mahal.
The current process started on the wrong foot and wasted money. Three qualified consultants submitted bids and yet the contract was awarded to high-bidder. This has already wasted thousands of taxpayer dollars.
Hopefully the new Board and Mayor will rein in the excessive spending and design. We have reason for hope. There is now a qualified and fiscally conservative architect on the Board.
At the same time, it would nice to see if the Police could share some of the largely unused village hall.
Doing so, would be a win-win for taxpayers.

the current police station is sufficient , but there must be a interest in building one and it is not a residents interest I am talking about - figure it out ( $$$$$$$)
