• YAG - to dispose of the YAG - PASSED - 10 for, 1 against
  • https://forum.hsbne.org/t/proposal-to-dispose-the-yag/5193/3
  • Only one serious buyer so far and offered 5k. Buyer pulled out at the last min due to lack of machine support
  • Discussion
    • Josh H - said it was probably hard to sell & selling as parts might be easier but Luke countered that this may be difficult for the same reason the machine is hard to sell
    • Josh H - asked for access to the YAG for the purpose of determining parts and prices - access was granted
    • Josh H - said he would salvage parts & may donate funds to HSBNE.
    • The method of disposal was discussed. The proposal does not contain a method of disposal, and it was left to the executive to determine the best method when the time came. Josh H expressed concern about the lack of a clearly defined disposal method.
  • Note: Josh R had to leave early and put his vote in before the end of the discussion.
