Several candidates use public‑comment period to outline priorities
Summary
Multiple candidates used the meeting's public‑comment period to introduce their campaigns and platforms: Blake Erchaff (PUD board), Phil Greeno (Tri‑County Airport Board), Dr. Rob (health access platform) and David Diamond (airport reallocation priorities).
During the public‑comment segment at the start of the meeting several individuals announced campaigns and described priorities they would pursue if elected.
Blake Erchaff said he is running for the PUD board, described six years living locally and his engineering background, and said he would prioritize low water rates, increased recreation access and a path toward regional water system solutions. "If elected to the PUD board, I would prioritize what we're already doing, low water rates for local residents and businesses, increased access to regional recreation, and a path toward rapid regional water system," Erchaff said.
Phil Greeno, running for the Tri‑County Airport Board, emphasized community service and regional partnerships; Dr. Rob described telemedicine program experience and a platform focused on access to care; David Diamond (Truckee Tahoe Airport Board director) noted the airport will receive approximately $9 million in property tax this year and argued some of those funds should be returned to the community for wildfire mitigation and other programs. Public comment concluded without remote comments and the board thanked speakers.
