Springdale pledges $11,680 to continue Zion Regional Collaborative coordinator role
Summary
Council approved an independent contractor agreement to continue funding the Zion Regional Collaborative coordinator (Emily Freedman), with Springdale committing $11,680; staff noted the coordinator's compensation and scope were reduced because other partners have cut funding.
Town Manager Thomas Dansie said the Zion Regional Collaborative (ZRC) Coordinator position had been funded by multiple partners in prior years and that recent partner withdrawals required an adjustment to compensation and scope. The Council approved an Independent Contractor Agreement naming Emily Freedman as coordinator and authorized a Springdale commitment of $11,680.
Council members praised Freedman's prior work and directed staff to continue seeking sustainable partner funding to maintain the coordinator position. The agreement’s scope of work was adjusted to reflect reduced compensation while recognizing the role’s importance to successful regional coordination.
