Comments by the Executive Director: None
Comments from the Public: Yes
Josh Clauser – HTS Coatings:
My comment involves circular economy, MSD, and Project Clear. I believe repairs/reconditioning of pump shafts,
pump impellers, and housings through the process of thermal spray (photos attached) could not only save money,
but also save these parts from ending up in the landfill. Has the board looked into this process or circular
economy?
The Executive Director deferred to the Director of Operations, Bret Berthold, to respond to this customer.
Bret Berthold confirmed that he would report back to the Board after contacting Mr. Clauser.
