Summary
The council approved one year of funding for Steward Moab's Trail Ambassador program at 50% of its request ($161,992), excluding the engagement position; members voiced concerns about administrative costs and recommended pursuing diverse funding sources.
The council voted to reduce Steward Moab's two-year $324,000 request to a one-year award of $161,992 focused on education and ambassador activities, excluding the proposed engagement coordinator position.
Anna Sprout, presenting for Steward Moab, described the program's transition toward a 501(c)(3) and its focus on outreach tools including "Learn to Earn" stickers and spill/waste kits. Committee members repeatedly expressed concern over the total administrative cost and encouraged Steward Moab to seek additional funding sources, such as municipal support.
Eric Nelson moved to fund the program at 50% for one year, and the motion passed after a second by Brody Johnson.
