A decision on the ward budget hearings should be judged at the South Ward hall, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Follow a public decision from the signed page to the household that has to live with it. The current file is the Year second, high summer window 2 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.
The the ward allocation book and signed hearing notes lists 49 budget lines checked against ward requests; the previous window lists 47. Tomas Reed checked both against time-stamped route logs checked against field visits. The difference matters because how repair money is divided when one street drains through two wards.
North Ward counts the upstream work while South Ward counts the homes reached by the runoff. Both figures describe part of the same repair. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.
A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, a drainage repair entered as a shared cost in two neighboring wards.
The Year second, high summer window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The clerk will publish both ward estimates beside the engineer’s route map.
