>> I see none. Is there anyone online with public comment today? >> Everybody. >> Everybody none. >> Doesn't look like it. Okay. Then we would like to um invite Rich Bozac to come up and talk
to us a little bit about the Department of Public Works director. I'm sorry. Oh, there she goes. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you for joining us. >> Yes, thank you. >> Um
so we just probably have a couple of questions. have you tell us a little bit about yourself? >> Sure. >> Um why don't you start with a little bit about yourself and >> I uh I'm Rich ATPW supervisor currently been with the department for 20 plus
years now. I uh I've worked my way up from the transfer station up through the ladder to uh supervisor currently for the last three and a half years I've been at and um I oversee all the departments to a day-to-day operations.
I just I run that Okay. You've been under what, two DPW directors in your time? >> Uh, yeah, I'd say that. I mean, in the very beginning, I I think Arch Valerio was gone by then. I think in 2004, but he was here when I was somewhere in the
middle of that. >> Okay. Um, >> that makes three, >> but I was trying to think >> 2.5. Yeah. something >> and then the I don't know how many DPW supervisors in the me >> a few. Yeah.
>> So, um I don't know what have you learned coming up through the ranks from from these managers? >> A little bit of everything. Um how to interact with not only public but your own employees. um
working with everyone and then obviously getting a very good grasp on the infrastructure of our DPW, water, sewer, drainage, all that. um learning all that but learning fleet maintenance and um a lot of the in sorry
infrastructure but also learning more of as it's come on um not only just the planning but the future learning more about what it takes to continually keep everything moving and rolling and um budgeting and all that and running
projects and understanding the how they all come together and the very different entities you use to build these projects so to speak. So I mean >> with all that for underneath of many other uh supervisors I've had so it's
pieces little bits and pieces from everybody pick up things and um put the picture together >> questions comments. >> What do you think's going to be your biggest challenge? Uh probably the some of the budgeting, understanding where it
comes from, where it's got to go, and how it has to go. It just doesn't come out of the sky. It's got to come out of certain places and everything like that. And knowing which ones you can use and what you can't use. And uh obviously time frames, too. You only have it for so much. And you got to make sure it's
every dollar counts to each project or dayto day, year-to-year operation side. Yeah. Because you're sometimes with the highway stuff, bridges, your ears, your projects. >> Yeah, exactly. And plan that's a planning side, getting grants and all that to just fund these things to
hopefully keep moving forward. >> Have you been involved in the scheduling of those projects under grants? >> A little bit. Um, a lot of it's just knowing when they come through and seeing where they are. A lot of the grant side stuff is done. I haven't been
part of for saying when it's outside, but just learning where they go and how they get there and like the just the big challenge be like Grand Central and all that, understand where everything is, how you get in there, how you can access it, things along that nature >> as a portal.
>> Yeah, it's I can't wait to get into it and start really seeing where it all goes and having access to it. I would imagine a calendar is going to be your best friend on the >> or my enemy. It never seems like enough time. So, >> yeah.
>> Well, the good news is the dates on those grants that are on there, unlike snow, which kind of just warms up not as much. >> That's a little too winter's here coming. So, it's kind of like, oh boy. >> Sure. >> Try to fit everything in and still be able to obviously keep everything moving
at the same time. Are you able to multitask pretty well? >> I think so. I've been doing it for quite a while, especially all the three, four to five departments, you know, between the engineering, sewer, solid waste. >> Definitely the last few weeks >> and the last six, yeah, five months,
let's call it four months. >> Good month and a half too of learning a lot more >> payables. You still applied division? >> Yeah, that's the funny. >> Yeah. >> But I figure it's a perfect opportunity to grow. um just like I just want to
learn more and it's just it's all there. So it's kind of like why wouldn't I want to? So that's what my my objective was just keep going and get better better for the town. >> Once you have the you would have the um
your assistant up to scene. What do you think your focus would be on most in the next like 3 to six months? Where would you foc once if if that person gets squared away? Where would you think >> after the winter and all that? I think a lot of that will be that that budgetary
stuff to make sure that I'm caught up to that knowing where what we need as a DPW where we can go and then obviously seeing where the next projects will be. Want to know like that beta information knowing all that and then knowing where I'm going with that and where we are
going so to speak and learn that. Have you been are you familiar at all with the level of beta that we do have? >> Not really. I know I talked to some of the Westfield DPW. I got some information from them about how they do it. It's just it's been a long time
since they did it, too. But I really wanted to see how they put put everything together, whether it's just colorcoded, you know, red is bad, blue is good. I just wanted to see how that is and see where their information is >> compared to how we were using it. >> Ours is a spreadsheet. It was Yeah, it
was just >> That's what I've heard. And >> I haven't even been able to look at that yet just from the fact that when he left the one >> it was old olden. >> That's what I've heard. It was 17. >> So once he gets the report, he'll come and give a presentation here. >> Okay. >> Cool. You guys will be >> Yep. Oh yeah, absolutely.
>> That's love to see that and really be able to if there any interactive to it to really see what they think, why they do it that way, what you know, which roads or why they say it was like that, not just, oh, it's Paulo. Yeah. >> So, those are So, that'll be interesting. It'll be fun.
>> That'll be a good first focus. >> Budget season. >> Yeah. Always time to have it. Right. >> Yeah. >> The budget's always been where do you think we're going? But I never really had to crunch the numbers. So, now it'll be fun to actually try to crunch in the numbers and really understanding how and
why and all that. So, >> and you'll be able to look back on history. >> Exactly. seeing last years and previous years and where everything was allocated and whatnot and knowing where we can move things and stuff like that. So, >> cool. >> Okay. Anything else? Anything else you
want to add? >> No. Well, one, I'm very grateful. Thank you guys for uh look looking at me, taking the time. Um can't wait to do it. Um and I'm very appreciative of everything the town has given me, too. So, can't wait to keep going.
>> Okay. >> Good. Okay. >> I'd make a motion to appoint Richard. It's a hard time saying Richard. >> Richard Bozac as the DPW director pending all the yada yada that we have
to do for that. >> That's me. >> Second. >> Roll call vote. Dang. I >> Doug Mgan. Yes. Russ Anderson. Yes. >> Thanks guys very much. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank
you. >> Oh, thank you very >> congratulations. Thank you. >> Then we would like to invite Joseph Mezvoir up for >> Got the name right. >> We've been practicing.
>> You have one of those in our team. >> Yes. Yes, you do. >> So, >> and that's not my fault. And this is for the building inspector. Um, and like Rich, you want to just give
us a little quick background. And >> my name's Joe Mezworth. I um I've been a building inspector for about 10 years now. >> Um I before that I traveled on the road running jobs all around the country. So that got old when my granddaughter was
born. So, um, >> what type of jobs? >> Uh, like commercial like McDonald's, uh, Harley-Davidson's >> Arby's. >> What's that? >> I saw Arby's. >> Arby's. Well, Perkins restaurants. No Arby's, but
>> I forgot about those. >> Perkins. >> Still have them in PA and down south. Yeah. >> Yeah, that's where it was. Yeah. Um, I started out in Holio as a building inspector, which gave me a really quick quick learning curve.
>> Sure. >> Um, quick story. The first day I was there, I got a I got a call that a building was falling down. I ran to the commissioner. This is, you know, the walls falling down. Yeah, take the camera, go take some pictures. But we knew it was coming. It was it was already cordoned
off and stuff, but I'm freaked. I'm like, this is just a normal day thing. >> This is what I'm in for. >> We hope you won't have that problem. >> And I'm still here. >> You seem to have a well-rounded background in trades. Um, between
commercial and residential, large and small. >> Um, Holio is a little bit larger than Southwick. What draws you to Southwick? Um, I think the opportunity to to move up into the commissioner's position was
well, really what what got me. And it's a small town. I actually grew up here, so kind of full circle. >> Okay. >> I kind of like to stay until as long as you'll have me. >> So, um, just explain how that works for
the commissioner certification and where you're at. So there's there's three tests. I've gotten one of them already done. So I got two more tests to take for like legal aspects, you know, and budgeting. >> Yeah. >> Is the biggest part. And then the other one is for managing.
>> And that's within a certain time frame. >> Uh it's either a year or 18 months. And I'm I believe it's 18 months, but a year a should be more more than enough. >> Any experience with with zoning enforcement? Yep. And that's um that's
usually the toughest part. Um that that was actually what I was hired for originally in on a block grant for the blight and all that and dealing with the police with cars and uh health department. You we we'd go a lot
together for you know joint inspections for buildings with you know tenant problems and or housing problems and building problems. So, a lot of lot of letter writing which um and just you got to you know the way
the way it was taught to me was treat treat every case as it's going to court all the way through and that way you don't have to back backtrack if it has to you know most of the time they don't have to but you have to plan for it. So it's a shame but but most times you know
I try to get compliance through you know working with the people as as best I can but doesn't always work. So >> how did you work um with other agencies like South's had a history of fire and building working together on the liquor
licenses? >> Yep. I' I've I've heard that fire departments don't always work with the building department. I've in you know I'm in Westfield now. We get along great. Hoyok, we get along great. >> It we do all our joint inspections and
you know it just helps having an extra set of eyes there. >> So >> I'd rather work with people than against them for sure. >> That's same with contractors and homeowners. I'd rather get them to come along, you know, and just move on, get
get their jobs done. >> Are you familiar with any permitting software? I I was a little Westfield doesn't have it. Um but I I did I did some in Holio. We were we were starting it so I am familiar with it. It'll it'll
take me a little to to get up to speed but computers are the bane of my existence. I know you guys like it. >> You have I know >> you don't have to like it but you got to use them. >> Yeah, we got to use them. Yeah. No, I understand. >> But you're I'm on them every day. So
Okay. Yeah. >> Okay. Not afraid of that. >> No. No. >> Okay. >> I don't know. >> Me either. >> Okay. Me either. >> Okay. >> So, are you looking for a motion to
appoint Joseph Mezoir? >> Yep. Got it right. >> As the building and building inspector, zoning enforcement officer for the town of Southwick, subject to all of Naen's and everyone else's yada yada. Okay. Sorry. We'll call vote. Bangal.
>> Doug Mogan. Yes. Anderson. Yes. All right. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> Welcome aboard. Thank you. Thank you. >> Welcome back. >> Thank you. >> On the way out. >> Got a couple inspections for
a going on. >> Yeah. Windows upstairs. >> So, he's going to come in and uh get sworn in tomorrow so that he can do some work. Okay. >> That'll be nice. >> Yes.
>> Just as a just basis until he starts on November starts on November 10th. >> But Mr. is another we don't have anybody >> I wouldn't get very
>> we good >> okay sorry for that delay folks uh let's see so we are going to discuss and vote on a memorandum of agreement with the Southwick firefighters association and
the South Firefighters Association, International Association of Firefighters, Local 4919, AFL CIO. Um, do you want me to read that whole thing? >> No, just so the short story is to
receive PAUB information electronically um with hard copies available as needed upon request. This is part of the streamlining process that Munis is able to do. We'd like to see everybody get them digitally instead
of printing them out every week. Um, and so, but we've got to we've got to bargain it. So, this is the only union that has agreed to it >> so far. >> And it has been tested and run through and it's all running smoothly.
So we would have to vote to >> signify to agree to the agreement. I >> Yes. >> We'll make a motion for the chair to sign. >> Second. >> Roll call vote. Diane Galla. >> Doug Mogan. Yes. >> Pro Anderson. Yes.
>> Thank you, Pim. Thank you. >> So, has there been push back from other bargaining units? >> They want to have to bargain it and they're just upset themselves. You just give them paper.
Most of the million people have agreed to it. It's just so much easier. Right. We need more paper. You >> have a paper trail because you never keep your stubs. Mine's in my drawer. It's filling up. >> I used to keep the blank panel as
notepad. There's always fun blank panel. It's great note paper. >> All right. >> Yep. >> Thank you. >> Southwick Clerical Union holiday hours normally scheduled half day before
Christmas and half day before New Year's. Uh the request is to combine for one full day to be taken Friday, December 26, 2025, which would mean that town hall will be closed on that Friday 10:26 at 12:26.
>> Discussion, concerns, >> pretty customary done it about every year. >> Do you need a motion to approve that? >> I believe we do. >> So move second. >> Welcome vote. Dang. I >> Doug Millan. Yes. >> And Sanderson, yes. discuss and vote on a reserve fund
transfer request from the finance committee dated October 2nd, 2025. This is a request for $32,51861 to replace the current 6Hour P320 pistols and bolsters that are reportedly having safety issues.
>> A motion to approve. >> Second. >> Roll call vote. Dangale I. >> Doug Moan, yes. Russ Anderson, yes. discuss and vote on a parade application. Southwick Civic Fund Farm Day parade planned for November 1st, 2025
from that is 2 to 4:00 p.m. Correct on that. >> Looks like 2 to 3 >> 2 to 3 p.m. >> And there is an application here in your packet.
Um I did note police detail was left blank. We do have police detail correct on this. >> Uh so that should be filled in. I suppose it's kind of an important part of the
application. The embracing by discussion discussion after. I'll make a motion to approve the permit. >> Um, do we want to have that completed? Detail needed, yes or no? >> With the commentary that we got from the
chief, I have sufficient information. >> Okay. >> Second. >> Roll call vote. Dang. I >> Doug Morgan. Yes. >> Russ Anderson. Yes. >> Yes. Further comment. >> Yeah. It was just um I was looking through some bylaws this weekend like I
had nothing else to do and we actually have a local bylaw on parades and permits and I think we should put that on our pit parade of either sending it back to town meeting to repeal it or amend it because it's ambiguous at best.
Um especially as it relates to um the state highway that runs through the through the town. So people have may have to get a state permit for something and then they have to get a potentially redundant permit for for a town function. And it also has other words in
it that could be easily misconstrued by someone um if they wanted to like the word procession. So, if someone is going from the funeral home to their final resting place, uh that is a procession by
definition, but in our bylaw, you need a parade parade/procession permit for it. We never do that. >> Or pageant. >> Yeah. Or a pageant, you know. And I know in in years past, there's been some coordination with the schools on
something that is eloquently called the driveound because that's not in the bylaw, right? And you could easily see how I think we should just put that in there as one of the things to clean just clean up at a at a future town meeting either an annual or a special just to clean that up because we would never
require someone to have a probably a full-on permit for a procession for say a funeral or something like that. >> And then and then also resolve the we can have a discussion here at a future date about you know if someone's on the state highway they they need a state
permit already. Do we is it redundant to have another permit from the town >> and I don't really think so just because we should know the town should know what's happening like not find out whatever through Facebook or something >> you know especially if we're using our
resources or I mean just like we're going to have a parade we're going to shut >> shut this state highway down but the town didn't know that we weren't able to even put any word out just just thinking way out of the box obviously small enough town that we're all going to know what's going on but just I think
>> for process just If the town knows um you know the happenings, I think it's a good idea to I don't know >> good idea to review it. It could be like you know >> a policy or one of those event permit things or something >> a mass general law from 1790 that's still on the book.
>> This is our local bylaw. Yeah, I know. And who knows why. I don't know how it came about. >> 1975. >> Okay. So I'm in the clear on that one. So >> this one this one 75. >> Yeah. 50. Maybe it was for the class of 75's graduation.
>> It probably was. It probably was. >> Okay. >> Great. >> Good point. All right. Um then we are on master plan implementation updates.
Um, I just want to review the items that I had given to you before. I hope you read through the strategies that were linked to the recommended actions and that it gave it a little
more context. Um Russ, your comments um when I sent that out. >> Um I guess I will write up. So So that process we talked about of uh
recommending changes or alterations of some sort. I'll take what you provided. I'll try to draft those. >> Okay. >> And we can come to the next meeting and discuss that, review those and make sure that's what everybody's thoughts are. >> That's fine.
>> Um and we can submit those for changes or alterations. Um Doug, did you have any other I see your laptop came in. >> Yes, finally. >> Um did you have any other suggested, let's call them alterations in your review? I'd rather submit them
in writing back to you because they're lengthy or meeting. >> You can do that and I will try to put those on the modification, change, delete, whatever they are, and I'll try to get that done for the next meeting as well.
Um and I just want to mention that the implementation committee was also charged with semiannual reports to the planning board and select boards and that first reporting is tenatively December 8th
uh depending on the planning board's availability that'll be our meeting on December 8th and that's where these alterations and suggestions um are going to be part of that reporting. and the progress report will be updated
again to be published in the annual town report. So I think it's kind of important that we as a select board responds. So I want to review again next time your suggested modifications
and the submission of if we can agree that certain ones are complete. Let's submit that and do our part on that call anyway for next meeting. >> Um,
anything else to add on that topic? >> Not coming. >> Then other new business. We're on other new business, right? Is that where we are? Um there there's an electric electricity
aggregation meeting downstairs probably still going on. There was one held in the senior center this morning. It is the same presentation that they're doing right now. Um it was a good it was a fast presentation but very
thorough and um went over the basically the ease of opting in and out and I mean you could play it like the stock market. If today the rate's better, you can opt in today and it's effective the next billing cycle. Um you can opt back in
every time that rate changes in your favor again. Um there were plenty of great questions from the attendees and um I mentioned there a lot of them were for people with solar. We have
quite a few people with solar and you know wondering how they make those decisions. Um and the Colonial Power people are you know ready at hand to take individual calls. Show me your situation. will show you where where it
where it affect how it affects you and and does it work for you or not. So, it was a pretty good uh presentation. A lot of good questions. Uh I just want to mention tomorrow is National First Responders Day and we have two of them here in the audience.
Um I'd personally like to thank all of them from dispatch to police, fire, EMT, paramedics. Um and not to forget their administrative teams that keep them organized. It's all part of that team. Um,
and I think my partners here would probably agree to the value of the training that we put into uh the first responders when when those seconds count. That's been proven recently and the great value, great dividends paid from that.
Um, so thank you. Um, we mentioned Saturday is the annual farm parade starting at Interstate down to town hall. There will be free hot dogs also thanks to the first responders. Uh,
that'll be on the town green at the congregational church. Um, did you want to talk about the Eversource meter meeting? Do you want to? So, um, everybody's getting smart
meters and they will be starting to be installed in November. So, at your request to have them come do a presentation. Their earliest availability is Tuesday, November 4th. So, they're coming here 6 p.m. in the auditorium
to do a presentation on the smart meters. And I do have >> When are they starting the installation of said smart meters? >> Beginning of November. >> Sometime in November. >> Yeah. I have a feeling that meeting um won't be as friendly as today's
meetings. I have a feeling. >> Are we not meeting that night? >> It's Tuesday. >> It's Tuesday. >> It's a Tuesday. >> Fourth is a Tuesday. Oh, >> Tuesday. >> Um that's it for me. I'm sorry. Did you have anything else? No problem. I had to. I was going to mention it a few more.
>> Uh that's it for me for other news. Well, let me first um I'm a little disappointed that Eversource is is managing to to stall that out that meeting until a potentially after they've started going around installing
the smart meters and um you know I I think that that's a bad look for Eversource. There are redeeming qualities to the smart meters. I mean, if you un if you read up on what they do and how what they're doing with them, >> they want to manage, you know, they're
they're not horrible. There is some there's been some legitimate discussion around, you know, some of the the radio frequency and some other stuff and and the other capabilities that's given to the power company and the information that they can collect and and potentially utilize from those. worthy
of a of a public discussion before they go, you know, touching people's homes and and replacing those meters. So, you know, frankly, I'm disappointed in in Eversource. They continue to reach rock bottom and continue to dig.
>> Um, >> you know, as far as it would cost them nothing and take very little effort to come out here and have a have had a session a month ago on these things when they started sending these emails out, right? And you know, I had multiple people reach out to me and say, "What do
you know about these?" I go, "I know very little. So, we should ask Eversource to come and explain what they're doing. They're spending millions and millions of dollars to replace these meters. Um, there has to be a a benefit to them and the user as to why they're
doing it. They should be in front of the public in the towns that they're putting these meters explaining what they're doing and why they're such a great idea." um the fact that they're going to wait until after potentially some of them are already installed or they're and there's
a significant financial penalty to people who opt out of those unlike this smart metering project with colonial colonial power right with colonial power if you opt in or opt out you it doesn't really change anything from other than
you know the name a name on your bill this if you op decide to opt out of the meter project they're going to increase your bill significantly per month to continue the use of your old meter. And I understand that they may feel that there's a cost of to providing the meter reading service that we have today, but
they're not discounting your electricity or the delivery that now that they have the smart meter capability that they can read them remotely and all this other stuff. I I really wish they would have been and you know maybe I'm perpetuating some FUD here, but it would have been way better for them to get out in front of that and and come in front of the
people of this town. Even if they did it on channel 15, they didn't have to come here to do it. Um so I'll get off my soap box on that. I'm disappointed. Could I mean I I saw it as a second wave of Southwick and other
towns. Could we ask them to delay Southwick after they've given their presentation? You can certainly ask them. I mean, if we think about it, it'd be the second day into November. So, I don't think it would be a problem for them not to come on the 3. >> It's just a bad look, right? I just if
you if they >> Yeah, it would be great. I think we should ask them. >> We're going to ask them to come out here because they're not doing it another time. >> They they are having these community meetings in other towns, but you'd think I just saw they just did Springfield.
Okay. But you think they'd have volunteered to do it ahead of time. If it's such a great idea, come out and sell it. >> Yeah. Right. >> Yep. So, it it's complaining that they didn't do it voluntarily. >> And their letters weren't that far away from November to tell you they're coming.
>> No. And it and it I just got one last week that says, you know, we'll be in your neighborhood soon to replace your smart meter. >> I I'm just curious that if I opted out, they don't come and read my meter now anyway. >> Right. >> Yeah. They haven't been out to read mine since
20 I don't know 16. So I already have the the remote reader. So >> but they do it by driveby or they don't even come by now >> because I have solar net metering. I >> get it that way. >> Don't even do it.
>> And there's no mention of that in there. But anything else you're disappointed? Well, Comcast is always high up on that list. They made a mess of the town in the last couple of weeks, too. But, um,
we don't expect as much from them. Um, I just want to thank the historical society. They had a fantastic walk with Spirits. I don't know how Pat Odor manages to pull off the perfect fall day every year, the spirit walk. And, uh,
this year was no disappointment as well. Was very well attended. Um, and you know, kudos to the crew crew of, you know, Jean Thorough and all those guys that have spent countless hours in the cemetery restoring some of those old
headstones um to be like new. Um, there's a ton of history in that cemetery, literally. Um, and you learn a lot uh about the history of the town of Southwick uh and the surrounding area by coming to events like that or studying
up on some of that stuff. So, um I want to thank them for having me, but also thanks to everyone else who came out to learn a little bit more about the history of the town of South Lake. And uh also a huge congratulations to Park and Wreck and Lisa Bailey for helping to organize the I think it's the third or
fourth or fifth trunk retreat. It was it was a co era thing. So, it's probably the fifth seventh. >> Really great. Also, incredible attendance. Again, nice weather. Um, doing it with the spirit walk almost guarantees nice weather. It was great to
see the police department there, the fire department, couple other groups, the library was there. Um, and all the folks that came out and had um, you know, set up their trunker trunk or treat and and all the kids and families that came out. It was just a very well attended, very wellorganized event. So
kudos to them. >> The library gave out books and she said she ran out quickly. That was great. >> Yeah. >> Great. >> I know one employer last year, one company from town that was there last year had to borrow candy and to to make
up for a shortfall. So um they were over supplied this year. But you don't know what to expect. and the that year and it was just uh the turnout it's just non-stop for couple three hours. So it's
great great to see events like that and that's it for me today. >> Okay. >> Uh under old business anyone have anything they want to update on goals and objectives?
I have none. Anything else other old business? Okay. Minutes acknowledge and approve executive session minutes from October 20th, 2025. >> Was the other
explanations required? >> Can't be in two places at the same time. motion to approve the executive session minutes of October 20th, 2025. >> Second. >> Don't call vote D. I >> Doug Mgan. Yes. Los Anderson. And we're going to acknowledge payroll
warrant number 2611 dated October 20th, 2025 in the amount of 293,249870. And then we need a motion to go into executive session to mass general law chapter 3A section 21 number three to discuss strategy with respect to
collective bargaining or litigation. if an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining or litigating position of the public body and the chair so declares and we will not reconvening in open session. >> Well, before we make a roll, I do want to make one, it's an old business topic,
not a big deal, it's not controversial. Um, I want to once again congratulate the three officers um that we had a uh part of the award ceremony here a couple weeks ago. Those three gentlemen were recognized with statewide award um at the Mass Police Association was at their
annual >> annual convention >> annual convention on the Cape uh last Thursday afternoon. Um they were in elite company with some of the stuff that was awarded. So again, kudos to
>> Excellent >> uh Officer Fist, Officer Bushman, and um Officer Olsen. So well done. So moved or yes. >> Uh second. Yes. So moved.
>> Yes. >> Yes. Yes.
