Date	Summary	Rec details
1452.11.24	Because there were more breaches in the dikes near the Carthusian monastery and on the east side of the city, the hoogheemraden believed it necessary for those having authority for hydraulic mattes there to join Rijnland in common cause to close the breaches. Therefore they requested that the dijkgraaf of Rijnland, Aelbrecht van Raephorst, with the aldermen (schepenen) of Diemen and the schout and of Amstelveen (collectively the predecessors to Amstelland water board) to attend a hearing planned for 15 January 1453 at Haarlem.

An appended note said the work was to begin on the following Sunday
Date	Summary	Rec details
1453.01.15	In the presence of the representatives of the villages between Amsterdam and Spaarndam, the hoogheemraden ordered the closing of all dikes along the Spaarndammerdijk, with the costs to be spread over the affected villages in proportion to their areas.
Date	Summary	Rec details
1453.01.15	Permission for Spaarnwoude, Hofambacht, and Houtrijk, because of their remote location and difficulty for others to get there, to close the waal at Houtrijk by themselves, without the others usually responsible for maintenance there. Sloten and Osdorp allowed the same for walen in their territories. They must not stop work until it is competed. Because it will be difficult for the poor to meet their obligations, the hoogheemraden have generously give 70 gulden (of 10 plaken-worth), half to go to Spaarnwoude, Hofambacht, and Houtrijk, and half to Sloten and Osdorp.
Date	Summary	Rec details
1453.01.15	Hoogheemraden decide that Willem van Alcmade and Jan van Poelgeest will keep an accounting of all the expenses incurred in the repair and reconstruction of the Zeedijk. Later, these costs will be spread proportionally over all of Rijnland.

Date	Summary	Rec details
1477.12.29	To close the walen, one man will appear for every 20 made of land, and every two men with a schuit, and each shall be properly equipped with spades, barrows, etc. as is necessary. The date to appear is 8 January.
Date	Summary	Rec details
1477.12.29	Because the hoogheemraden realize that the poor will have greatest difficulty in performing the repair work needed to close all walen, the former will help pay for excessive costs.
Date	Summary	Rec details
1477.12.29	All expenses that hoogheemraden incur while closing the walen in the Zeedijk will be distributed across the entire territory of Rijnland.
