Start with the signed minutes and the clerk’s amendment register. It is the source used to decide whether a late amendment changed a ferry schedule or only clarified its start date; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the public table in Ferry House.
Known: the current file counts 43 motions with a dated disposition, compared with 48 in the prior window. Asecond office checks the count and records any difference in method. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: 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. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to a margin correction added after the final reading of a ferry motion.
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 fifth, river rise window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The council will compare the amendment register with the recording made during the vote.
