As promised at a Dec. 20 county supervisors meeting, the County Administrative Office has prepared a press release with some more information on the new CAO hired in December and set to start mid-April.

Trent C. Tuthill grew up in Redding and enjoyed countless days on the Trinity River and in the Alps, becoming acquainted with Trinity County’s rich history and natural beauty, the release states. He attended attended Old Shasta Elementary and Shasta High School in Redding before beginning a more than 30-year career in the Air Force and will be retiring as a colonel in March.

Tuthill entered the Air Force in 1993 after graduating from the United States Air Force Academy. He has served in numerous operational wings, on a MAJCOM staff, on the SHAPE joint staff, as a cadet squadron AOC, two times as a contracting squadron commander, a deputy mission support group commander, and DCMA streamlined and prime Contract Management Office commander.

He also has certifications in acquisitions, contracting, program management and production and quality and manufacturing.

“Col. Trent Tuthill brings to the position experience in finance and management and many of the county’s strategic priorities,” said Sup. Jill Cox, chairwoman of the Board of Supervisors in the press release. “We are so fortunate to have someone with Colonel Tuthill’s experience, and knowledge of complex operations.”

Tuthill succeeds Richard Kuhns, who retired in May 2022. The appointment was confirmed by the Board of Supervisors on Dec. 20, and he will begin April 19. The nationwide recruitment took over six months, and was conducted by CPS HR consultants.

His base annual salary will be $167,603.
