Springdale approves contract to join Charge West at Scale EV charging project
Summary
The Springdale Town Council voted Dec. 18 to approve a contract with Utah Clean Cities that accepts a $50,000 award and allows the town to participate in the Charge West at Scale electric-vehicle charging project; the council also confirmed a prior contingent contract with a local coordinator.
The Springdale Town Council on Dec. 18 voted to approve a contract with Utah Clean Cities that lets the town participate in the Charge West at Scale electric-vehicle charging project and carries a $50,000 award to the town. The council approved the measure by voice/roll call after a short discussion and formal motion.
The action followed a presentation from a council participant who summarized the two-part agreement: a contract between Utah Clean Cities and the Town that "outlines the scope of work of this project and also awards the Town $50,000 to accomplish that scope of work," and a separate proposed contract between the Town and Emily Friedman, identified in the discussion as the Design Regional Collaborative Coordinator, to carry out the work on the town's behalf. "This project is all about increasing capacity for electric vehicle charging in Springdale and the Zion Canyon region," the presenter said, describing the scope as planning and early implementation work rather than construction of chargers on the council's own timetable.
Council member Speaker 3 formally moved to approve the Utah Clean Cities contract, saying, "Move we approve the contract with the Utah clean cities so that we can participate in the charge west at scale project." The mayor (presiding officer) announced the motion as "by Randy and second by Jack." During the subsequent roll call the meeting recorded affirmative votes from Jack, Randy, Barbara, Kyla and Pat. The motion passed; no opposing votes or abstentions were recorded in the transcript segments provided.
Council members noted that the town had previously approved the contract with Emily Friedman contingent on Utah Clean Cities' contract approval. One speaker asked for the incoming Utah Clean Cities contract documents to be forwarded to the town attorney and placed on a future agenda for formal execution. The presenter reiterated that the Utah Clean Cities award documents will be sent to the town and that the contract term allows a two-year period for the scope and follow-on construction phases where applicable.
Next steps recorded in the meeting: the town will receive the Utah Clean Cities contract documents, have the town attorney review them, and then place the contract on a future agenda for signature and implementation. The council adjourned immediately after the vote.
