During the Trinity County Board of Supervisors meeting on May 6, 2025, significant discussions centered around community safety and the establishment of advisory boards to enhance in-home supportive services (IHSS).

Margaret Lewis and Vivian Denniston, representatives from the Humboldt County In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Board, emphasized the importance of forming similar advisory boards in Trinity County. They highlighted that these boards are mandated by California law to improve the delivery of IHSS, which supports vulnerable residents. The advisory boards serve as a vital link between service recipients and providers, ensuring that community needs are voiced and addressed. Lewis noted that each county receives approximately $6,000 in funding to support outreach and educational initiatives, encouraging local leaders to consider establishing a board to better serve Trinity County residents.

In addition to the discussion on IHSS, public safety concerns were raised by community member Ben Kellogg. He urged the Board to collaborate with Caltrans and state representatives to secure funding for new guardrails along Highway 299, particularly in light of a recent tragic accident. Kellogg also called for stricter enforcement of the newly passed daylight law, which prohibits parking within 20 feet of crosswalks. He argued that improved enforcement could enhance pedestrian safety and potentially generate additional funding for the county through fines.

The meeting also included updates from the County Executive Officer, Todd Hill, who reported on ongoing efforts to improve public safety communications through the California Radio Interoperability System. This initiative aims to enhance coordination among local emergency services, ensuring a more effective response to community needs.
