## Resource

Minot’s city council made a big move this week, approving contracts with both the Animal Empowerment League and Hairball Haven to handle the city’s animal pound — a split decision after narrowly rejecting a motion to rebid the services. With a 5-2 vote, they’re moving forward with both groups involved while unanimously agreeing to build a licensing and fee system to ensure long-term sustainability and smooth operations for the city’s animal care program.
