Committee holds appeal of Natasha Batson’s excessive-animal permit to next meeting
Summary
The committee voted to hold the appeal after staff said the applicant did not follow up with required inspections and resubmission; applicant may reapply if denied.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Protection & Policy Committee on Monday, June 16, 2025, voted to hold an appeal by Natasha Batson regarding denial of an excessive-animal permit to the committee's next meeting after staff reported the applicant had not followed required steps.
City staff told the committee that the applicant "didn't follow-up" with Officer Mavis after the June 1 meeting and had not resubmitted a corrected list of animals for inspection. "We just don't have any information from the applicant," staff said.
Committee members moved to hold the appeal so Officer Mavis could report back on whether the applicant had met permit and building-inspection requirements. One member asked whether the clerk's office could notify Batson that the item had been held; that request was made on the record.
The motion to hold was seconded and adopted by voice vote. Committee members noted that, if denied, the applicant could file a new application; staff repeatedly recommended either holding the appeal or denying it given the lack of updated documentation.
