Whoops.
That's right, isn't it 7-13?
Yes, I think it was on that Monday. That's just an error on my agenda, so I think it's correct on the minutes. It is correct on the minutes. It was just my mistake in calling it out on the agenda. No public comments, no old business. I will call for our operator's report. Tim Crocker, I see we've got Josh with us today. Good morning.
Good morning. Just a couple of items. One that I did brief the board on last month, which was the June report. You actually have a physical June report in your packets today. Very important. I always try to get those to Donna for legal documentation or whatever she needs. But you do have those. Nothing has changed, obviously, from the report last month. So June was a good month as well. The one other item that I have for your consideration today is an agreement. I have a managed service agreement from SRI, or Systems Integration Resources. Mr. Josh Campbell, what this agreement is is for our security system. which encompasses all of our cameras and our door access and egress systems. And Josh is on call to manage those for us. By virtue, it is an annual agreement. I wanted to present it to the board and seek approval for that today.
Okay. SIR security does the cities as well here at City Hall. Looks like cloud hosting service, 120 per month, protection plan, 230 per month. Yes, ma'am. And rates for service and labor on page three. All right, I just need a motion to approve.
I'll make the motion to approve.
A motion by Michael Grayson. Second. Second by Nathan Grimes. Any questions on that proposal? Hearing none, all in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. That is unanimous. Thank you.
Thank you. The last thing that I do have, as you pointed out a few moments ago, I did ask Josh Winslow to come today and give a brief summary of an easement clearing project that we're going to have. Josh, can you come up here? Wonderful. Welcome, Josh. Thank you.
Good morning, members of the board. I'm talking about the easement project between the Dollar General and Market Street, clearing an easement for our sewer lines so we can have access to them. We have received two quotes from Genesis Earthworks and Dan Christiani, and after reviewing the quotes, I'm going to recommend that we go with Genesis Earthworks.
Do we have those on a single document? It's probably on a single document. There it is. There's a lot of documents. I was like, where is it? Okay, so Genesis came in at $25,600. And then Christianity Excavating came in at $26,132. And so your recommendation was? Genesis. They're going to do more work for less money, so I like that. Okay, I like that too. All right, so we have a recommendation to go with the lower quote there, $25,600 for Genesis Earthworks. Do we have a motion to approve?
I'll make a motion to approve based on his recommendation.
Okay, Nathan Grimes makes the motion to accept staff recommendation. Michael Briggs in seconds. Have they done work for us before, Josh? No, this will be the first time. Oh, well, we'll see how it goes. All right, all in favor say aye. Aye. That is a yes, thank you. Thank you. And then we have some SRF. As long as we call these out separately, can we approve them in one motion, though? Yes. Great. So we have three SRF requests. I'm going to have to click on each one, so bear with me. One is 37L for PACE contracting. Or do you have them in hard copy? Yeah, sure. Don't tell Chuck Deaton I asked for the hard copy. All right, so the first one is 38L, the amount of $33,000 for Jacoby Tunes and Lands. I have one for two for Pace, another 38L, $37,384, and 39L for Pace, the amount of $82,435. These have all been checked by you, Tim? Yes, ma'am. All right. With Heather's help this morning. Perfect, so I just need a motion to approve those SRF requests.
I make the motion to approve as presented.
Nathan Grimes makes the motion. Second. Aquagrace in seconds. Any questions on those? All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That was unanimous. And then we have some charge-offs.
