Krazy Kritters operator asks Bottineau council for help; city seeks specific plan rather than gifts
Summary
Owner of Krazy Kritters and a TNR Program representative outlined the business’s struggles and requested assistance; the council said it cannot gift funds and asked for concrete options or plans to consider.
Representatives from the TNR Program and Krazy Kritters attended the council meeting and described operational challenges at Krazy Kritters. Owner/operator Tasha Goerentz said personal circumstances have forced her to seek full‑time employment outside the business and requested some form of assistance to keep the operation running.
Council members discussed possible approaches, including opening a city animal pound and the option of a part‑time animal control officer; Mayor Schoenborn reminded the council that the city cannot simply gift funds to the business. Council asked Goerentz to provide specific plans or proposals the council could evaluate before taking any action.
The minutes record that Goerentz had spoken with the sheriff’s office about a part‑time animal control officer. No formal motion or commitment of city funds was made during the Sept. 3 meeting; the item remains open pending more detailed proposals from the business and staff.
