Trinity County Board of Supervisors Meeting 10/06/26

The October 6, 2026, Trinity County Board of Supervisors meeting included updates on planned wildfire fuel-reduction burns, public comment, department and supervisor reports, and consent-calendar business. The Board unanimously approved item D2, an amendment to the County’s existing contract with California Safety for fire-alarm services and monitoring, including maintenance related to infrared motion sensors and door contacts. No contract amount was stated. Public commenters raised concerns about Flock surveillance cameras, including ongoing costs estimated at $2,500–$3,500 per camera annually and questions about data use, maintenance, and future funding; no Board action on the cameras is recorded in this excerpt.

The County Administrative Officer reported that the County received $60,000 in risk-audit support, plus an additional $2,500 for scoring above 90%, for use in reducing workplace risks. The County also partnered on the Post Mountain electrification grant application and signed its governance agreement. Work on the General Plan environmental impact report has exceeded the current scope of Rincon’s consulting contract because of the volume of public comments, and a budget amendment was anticipated; no amendment or additional contract approval occurred in this meeting excerpt. The Board agreed to schedule optional training for its role as the property assessment appeals board.
