Receive Report from the Airport Manager. * FAA Airfield Inspection Mr. Strahan explained the airfield was inspected by a subcontractor of the FAA. The airfield has not inspected since 2019; COVID / manpower may have played a role in the inspection delay. The terminal and airfield received compliments on how each looked and kept. The inspector noted multiple matters; RWY's 3, 14, 21, & 35 all have trees that need to be removed -- although the trees are not a problem for the approaches now the trees will need to be removed in the future. Runway 3/21 pavement marking has been downgraded to poor. TXDOT does not financially help the city upkeep runways 14/32 or 3/21, so in the future it is possible the markings on these runways will continue to degrade. Some taxiway markings and hold lines are faded and should be repainted — this matter will be taken care of when the overall runway prqject takes, place. RWY 35 PAPI's have lips (dirt erosion) — this matter will be taken care of when the city comes out and perform dirt work at the airport. It was explained to the Airport Board that none of these matters were a surprise to the airport. a Runway 17 PAPIs Mr. Strahan explained the runway 17 PAPIs originally thought to have a power supply problem; contacted a company out of Fort Worth to troubleshoot the problem. The problem was found to be a tilt limit switch, switch was replaced; PAPIs returned to service.
