The first file on the shared kiln schedule began with the firing board and the makers’ clay readiness cards. The city then checked the source, heard affected residents and sent a second office to repeat the count.
The current Year second, seedfall window 1 file records 17 firings started within the posted window; the previous window records 15. The longer sequence makes the change visible, while each count remains tied to its own dates.
A turning point was the observation that two makers need the same slow cooling period for different clay bodies. It narrowed the discussion from a general claim to a question about how the rule works at the site.
The old schedule alternates by week. Makers say clay readiness can change with the drying room temperature. The shared record is larger than it was at the start, although the parties still assign it different weight.
The circle publishes options with the seasonal limits stated beside them. The Year second, seedfall window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The kiln group will compare readiness cards with actual cooling times before changing turns.
