Start with river marks, town gauge notes and the shared warning schedule. It is the source used to decide how neighboring towns can share a warning before their readings align; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the shared flood board at South Ferry.
Known: the current file counts 40 warnings issued with both town readings attached, compared with 45 in the prior window. Alimited trial begins under the same public measure used in the old file. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: Upper towns want a warning as soon as their mark rises. Lower towns want a second reading before closing the ferry. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to the upstream mark arrives one bell before the lower town gauge.
Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.
Next: The Year first, market fall window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The joint table will publish a two-reading rule with the decision time recorded.
