Located in northwestern Orange County, Stanton is surrounded by the cities of Cypress, Westminster, and Anaheim. The city’s 39,000 residents are represented by a city council made up of Stanton’s mayor, who is elected at large, and four city council members, elected by voters in their districts, each of whom serves a four-year term. Police and fire services are provided by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and Orange County Fire Authority, respectively.

Stanton is home to parks, a library, and a family resource center, and plays host to special events including a car show, seasonal gatherings and festivals, and movies in the park. The city offers a unique Homeowner Rehabilitation Grant Program that provides financial assistance to help qualified low- to moderate-income homeowners make needed exterior repairs, improve residential aesthetics, and beautify neighborhoods.

Lucy Gonzalez, Senior Risk Manager for many of the Authority’s Orange County members, will be working directly with the city. “I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with the City of Stanton. The staff is committed to mitigating risk through the proactive implementation of safety and risk control measures for their residents and employees.”

“The City of Stanton has a motto: Community Pride and Forward Vision. That slogan demonstrates the city’s focus on continued revitalization,” said California JPIA Chief Executive Officer Jon Shull. “The Authority looks forward to supporting Stanton as the city provides its facilities and services for the betterment of its residents.”
