Trinity County Board of Supervisors Meeting 06/02/2026

The Trinity County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on June 2, 2026, covering a range of topics including public safety, environmental health, library services, and transportation infrastructure. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a resolution for the FY 2026-27 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) work plan, which allocates approximately $2.87 million for road projects. The board debated equipment purchases, specifically whether to buy one or two trucks to support road maintenance, with concerns raised about the necessity of water trucks for effective grading and maintenance. Additionally, the board approved updates to the county credit card policies, including the future inclusion of gratuities within travel expense reimbursements, pending final travel policy updates. The board also discussed the potential pursuit of a Local Agency Management Plan (LAMP) for environmental health septic system management but deferred action pending a detailed survey to assess community needs and costs. Regarding library services, the board considered options for meeting state requirements for a credentialed librarian, including hiring, contracting, or shared services, with no immediate procurement decisions made. Finally, the board approved a partial waiver of solid waste fees for the Trinity County Fair Association, balancing support with fiscal responsibility. Several motions were passed related to fee waivers and policy updates, and action items included conducting a survey on septic system challenges and continuing to explore library service options.
