At the public table in Ferry House, Oren Lyle puts the signed minutes and the clerk’s amendment register beside a margin correction added after the final reading of a ferry motion. The detail is easy to miss in a summary, but it determines whether a posted rule describes the place people actually use.

Oren Lyle is the minute keeper for the river council. On this high summer visit, the work begins with a dated entry and ends with a second check from someone who did not make the first one.

The the signed minutes and the clerk’s amendment register lists 66 motions with a dated disposition; the previous window lists 64. Ada Merrow checked both against ward records and interviews with people who use the service. The number is one part of a larger handoff between the office, the people who use the service and the staff expected to maintain it.

One copy treats the change as a new service rule. The clerk says the vote kept the old rule and added a date for the trial. Residents and workers have asked the clerk to keep their accounts beside the source count rather than turn them into a single average.

Anew review window opens with a dated question and a named clerk. The Year second, high summer window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The council will compare the amendment register with the recording made during the vote.
