Rik Varn opens signed minutes, contract amendments and the public change log at the public board outside Cinder Hall. Before anyone changes a mark, the crew checks a machine lease changed after the vote but before the posted copy was replaced. The rain shift period sets the pace of the work.
The page holds 32 amendments posted before a new shift begins. Rik Varn reads the preceding count, 30, before the next line is entered. A number without a date would not tell the next crew what changed.
The commission says the signed amendment is authoritative. Crew delegates say a rule not posted at shift start is not usable notice. Here the difference is visible between the posted rule and the route, service or shift just beyond the door.
The committee records a decision and the reason on the public board. The board recorded the outcome that it retained the existing rule and published the operating record.
The shift closes with the source page attached to the board. The next file uses a new date and scope.
