Officials attending a July 8 meeting that included members of the Albany Water Board opened a bid for Lincoln Park pool treatment chemicals and approved several contract change orders for municipal construction and water‑system projects, the transcript shows.
At the opening, a bid from Surpass Chemical Company for Lincoln Park Pool treatment chemicals was read aloud; the transcript shows a corrected total of $43,294 for the bid. The documented bidder name and the amount were presented during the public opening of bids.
The board also considered and approved several change orders and contract adjustments for city capital and maintenance projects. Presented resolutions in the transcript included:

One presented change order for locksmith services (contract 9366) appears in the transcript, but the numeric details in the excerpt are inconsistent and could not be confirmed from the provided text; the transcript should be checked against official procurement records for an authoritative amount and the new contract total.
After the resolutions were read, the transcript records a motion, a second and a voice vote with members responding "aye," approving the items in that portion of the agenda.
Those present for the bid opening and resolutions, as recorded in the transcript, included George Stenson, Gary Shunbar (treasurer), William McCree (city engineering), Frank Zioli and Robert McKean. The transcript records motions and a voice vote approving the listed change orders; it does not show a recorded roll‑call tally in the provided excerpt.
