The Stanton City Commission on June 9 approved a set of administrative and financial actions, including FY25/26 budget amendments and appointments to the Planning Commission, and voted to authorize a $4,712.65 U.S. Department of Agriculture draw request for sewer work despite one commissioner’s opposition.
Commissioner Jacky McGill moved to approve the meeting agenda and later moved approval of FY25/26 budget amendments; both motions were seconded and carried on voice votes. The commission also approved the minutes from May 26, 2026, and an accounts‑payable report through June 4, 2026, by voice vote.
Mayor Pro Tem Jane Basom moved to appoint Kelly Hardenburgh to the Planning Commission; Commissioner Ray Holloway seconded and the appointment carried by voice vote. Commissioner Holloway then moved to re‑appoint Scott Giddings, Lori Hufford and Jamie Petersen to the Planning Commission; Commissioner Basom seconded and the reappointments carried by voice vote.
Commissioner Tamara Kuhn moved to approve USDA Draw Request #19 for $4,712.65 for sewer work; Commissioner Jacky McGill seconded. The draw request passed on a voice vote with Commissioner Ray Holloway recorded in opposition. The commission did not record a roll‑call tally in the minutes beyond noting the single dissent.
The commission also approved a motion from Commissioner Basom, seconded by Commissioner Eric Rich, directing the city to issue generic, reusable email accounts to Planning Commission members who do not currently have city‑issued emails.
Under monthly reports, the police and public works departments had no items; the Clerk/Treasurer listed an ACH item and the City Manager provided a Veterans Park parking update (no further detail appears in the minutes). During commission comments Basom said the playscape at Veterans Park needs repair and announced the Chuck Miel Memorial scheduled for Saturday at 2:00 p.m.; Mayor Bill Ferguson mentioned the MCC Dorm ribbon cutting.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Bill Ferguson at 6:30 p.m. and adjourned at 7:17 p.m. The minutes are signed by Clerk Sarah Johnson.
