Board elects new president and vice president; approves insurance switch and names CTA representative
Summary
The Truckee Tahoe Airport District Board elected David Diamond president and Mary Hetherington vice president, approved switching property insurance carriers, and appointed a board representative to the Climate Transformation Alliance.
The Truckee Tahoe Airport District Board of Directors elected Director David Diamond president and Director Mary Hetherington vice president for 2025 and approved a set of administrative actions, including a change in the district's property insurance carrier and the appointment of a representative to the Climate Transformation Alliance.
The nominations and final motion to elect Diamond as president and Hetherington as vice president were made during the board’s organizational item and approved by roll call. The roll-call votes recorded in the transcript were: Diamond — yes; Hetherington — yes; Horvath — yes; Odette — no; Rolf — yes. The motion carried 4–1.
On the property insurance renewal, staff presented a proposed switch from the district’s current carrier to an Alliant-linked program (Alliant Property Insurance Program). Staff said the Alliant option would provide broader coverage at a materially lower annual cost and could allow the district to recover a portion of the existing premium if the Lloyd’s policy is canceled. After public comment (none opposed), a director moved to approve the change “as presented,” a second was recorded, and the board approved the switch by voice vote; the motion carried.
The board also appointed Director Greg Horvath as its representative to the Climate Transformation Alliance (CTA) after a nomination and second; the motion passed by voice vote.
Other routine business, including the consent calendar, was approved earlier in the meeting by voice vote. The consent motion carried without recorded dissent.
