CORFU \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take it from Deputy Mayor Michael Doktor: the Village Board is ecstatic about its vote to convert the former Stan\u2019s Red Lounge at 83 East Main St. into the community\u2019s first honest-to-goodness police station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday of this week, the board authorized the transformation of the tavern and garage on the property for use by the 11-employee village police department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The action will move the officers from its current location at the Pembroke Community Center at 116 East Main St. and relocate storage of the force\u2019s three patrol cars from a sewer plant on the west end of the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doktor said village police have had to operate out of what he called \u201ca closet\u201d \u2013 about 100 square feet of space at the community center \u2013 for the past 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe village purchased this large property \u2013 we closed on it early this year \u2013 and have discussed many options for it, with community input,\u201d Doktor said. \u201cOur mayor (Tom Sargent) and commanding officer (David Krzemien) thought this would be a good place (for the police station).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doktor said it will cost around $8,000 to prepare the former bar for police use, adding that officers, village maintenance crew and volunteers will be teaming together to install siding, window and door upgrades and a new floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe (the board) initially budgeted that money to repair the garage in back, so there will be no additional cost to taxpayers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Village officials are looking to have police officers in the building by December, Doktor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have no plans yet for the house on the property,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe\u2019re seeking ideas, but we\u2019re in no hurry as far as that is concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
