that was issued regarding the lights has been extended through October 15, but Mr. Strahan hopes to have the problem resolved before then. Mr. Avery thanked Mr. Strahan for posting the NOTAM and asked if the runway lights could be left on overnight. Mr. Strahan said yes, the lights could be left on. Mr. Bill K. Allan said he thought if you turn the lights on manually, it would override the photocell system and the lights would be on all night. Mr. Strahan said they don't know exactly what the problem is, so it's hard to know if that will happen. Mr. Strahan went on to say that Jerry Richey had been turning the lights on manually before he left each day, but then some nights they will leave it as -is and then go back out later to check them, and the lights would still be on. Mr. Allan stated that he had not had any problems with the lights. Ms. Maughon told Mr. Strahan to continue working on fixing the lights. 5. Receive a presentation on the FY21 /22 Airport Budget. Finance Director, Gene Anderson presented the board with the FY2021-2022 budget, stating that it had been several years since the City had been involved in the budget process for the Airport. Mr. Anderson stated that the airport received a Grant last year which was COVID related, but did not necessarily have to be spent on COVID related expenses. He was able to use normal operating expenses to justify the $69,000 they have already sent, which will most likely go towards an airport maintenance project of some kind. After further discussion of the budget, he asked the board members if they had any questions. Mr. Bill Allan asked when the fuel prices would go down. Mr. Anderson stated it is the City's plan to be the lowest price in northeast Texas, or really close to it, which should take effect by the end of November. Mr. Ball asked how the new fuel prices will be calculated. Mr. Anderson said that they would compare fuel prices in surrounding areas and then take into consideration what they are paying for the fuel. It is not the City's goal to profit from fuel sales, but to break even. The board thanked Mr. Anderson for his presentation. Ms. Ellis left at 5:39 P.M. 6. Receive a presentation from the City Attorney on the Texas Open Meetings Act. City Attorney, Stephanie Harris introduced herself to the board members. She began giving the members a brief overview of the Texas Open Meetings Act, explaining the legal definitions of, "meeting, deliberation, quorum, and walking quorum." Ms. Harris stated that a "walking quorum" is easy to accidently become a part of, so to be extra careful with relaying information between board members. This includes in-person conversations, emails, text messages, etc. Ms. Harris went on to explain the Penalties associated with the Texas Open Meetings Act, should any one violate any of the laws. Ms. Harris then asked if there were any questions. Mr. Avery stated the reason this topic is being brought up at all, is because the board needs to know how to address a safety issue. Ms. Harris stated that any safety concerns should be immediately directed to the Airport Manager, Paul Strahan, or other city staff; not at a board meeting. Ms. Harris stated that a safety concern does not require board deliberation, and unless on the Agenda, cannot be discussed at a board meeting. She went on to state that if the concern needed immediate attention, board members should not wait until the next board meeting to express their concerns. Mr. Avery asked Ms. Harris what should be done if a safety concern is made aware to city staff, but nothing is done about it. Ms. Harris responded by informing Mr. Avery he may also speak to the City Manager, or the City Attorney if it is a legal matter. Mr. Avery stated the he felt as if he did not receive professional courtesy from the City when he bought up the safety concern about the lights, since there was never a notice posted about the lights not working. After further discussion about how to handle these matters going forward, the board thanked Ms. Harris for her presentation.
