The Stanton City Commission voted June 23, 2026, to authorize the Stanton Police Department to contract with Lexipol for grant-writing and assembly services at a cost of $5,400 to be paid from the Police budget.
Commissioner Ray Holloway moved to allow the police to enter the contract; Commissioner Jacky McGill seconded and the motion carried on a voice vote. The minutes record the authorization but do not include additional terms or a contract start date.
The action was taken during the meeting’s new-business agenda and is recorded as an expenditure from the Police budget. The commission did not record an itemized funding breakdown or whether the contract requires council review beyond the voice vote. The minutes identify the Police report earlier in the meeting and list Detective Richmond under police business but do not quote police staff regarding the contract.
Next steps: the motion carried and the contract authorization is in the minutes; the commission will presumably execute the contract through the city’s procurement process or as allowed under the city manager’s delegations.
