The Trinity County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on September 29, 2025, to discuss the allocation of funds and the process for interested parties to submit requests for financial support. The meeting outlined a timeline for submissions and the role of an ad hoc committee in reviewing these requests.

The board established an October 15 deadline for interested parties to submit their funding requests. Following this, the appointed ad hoc committee will review the submissions and present their recommendations to the board during the November 4 meeting. This process aims to ensure a thorough evaluation of the requests before any financial decisions are made.

During the discussions, it was clarified that the board is not obligated to award the full amount of $70,000 that has been earmarked in the budget. The ad hoc committee will provide recommendations on how the funds should be allocated, but the final decision rests with the board. They have the discretion to approve a portion of the funds or redirect some back to the general fund if they believe it would be better utilized elsewhere.

The meeting concluded with an emphasis on the board's flexibility in deciding how to proceed with the allocated funds, highlighting the importance of careful consideration in the upcoming decisions. The next steps will involve the committee's review and the board's deliberation in November.
