Start with dispatch cards, lift closure notes and arrival slips. It is the source used to decide how a dispatcher chooses a route when the nearest lift may close before arrival; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the stair and lift network near Night Gate.
Known: the current file counts 18 arrivals with a route confirmed open at the dispatch time, compared with 24 in the prior window. The service board posts the result and its first operating date. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: The lift office posts planned maintenance. The clinic says it needs confirmation that the change was carried out. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to the nearest lift changes its maintenance hour during the fog season.
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 responsible office has begun the follow-up set by the board, which closed the file after two records confirmed the same service interval.
