Council Member Justin L. Brannan questions Sheriff Anthony Miranda about enforcement data related to unlicensed cannabis shops, particularly those near schools. The Sheriff provides some information but acknowledges gaps in readily available data.
- The Sheriff's office prioritizes enforcement for shops near schools but doesn't have immediate data on currently open unlicensed shops near schools.
- There's uncertainty about the exact number of legal cannabis shops in the city.
- The Sheriff's office doesn't have an immediate breakdown of summonses issued by borough but agrees to provide this information later.

Okay.
1:38:08
I have two questions from majority with Brooks Powers.
1:38:13
I think counsel member Williams touched on in a bit.
1:38:16
But based on the publicly available data around 62% of cannabis summonses have been issued to locations within a 1000 feet of a school.
1:38:29
Do we have a sense of what percentage of unlicensed cannabis shops are still open today that are in proximity to a school?
Anthony Miranda
1:38:39
No, sir.
1:38:40
I think we can we can research the locations that we're scheduled to go back to and then the locations that are coming in and probably get you an updated answer to that, but off the off the top of the rig, I don't.
