Council Member Banks inquires about regulations for cannabis shop locations near day care centers. Sheriff Miranda explains the prioritization process for complaints and inspections.

  • The law provides specific circumstances for prioritizing inspections
  • Complaints about locations impacting seniors or interfering with access to certain areas are prioritized
  • All reported locations are inspected, with some requiring multiple visits
  • Day care centers are not specifically mentioned in the distance regulations, unlike schools and religious organizations

Okay.

And also to wanna find out the the square footage as far as the the the the particular locations where smoke shops can be.
1:21:37
I noticed that it it it it it it it it only talks about schools, and it talks about schools and churches or religious organizations.
1:21:47
On group family day kids, smaller day kids, are they included in that?
Anthony Miranda

When we get complaints, we take all the information, and we prioritize accordingly.
1:21:59
So If it's impacting seniors or somehow interfering with access to certain locations, then we'll take the appropriate corrective action to inspect those locations as soon as possible.
1:22:09
But the law provides very specific circumstances by which we can prioritize them.
1:22:15
But in our regular rotation, we will get to and like I said, we have inspected all the locations on the list.
1:22:20
Some require more than one visit, but we are able to do that in the form one period of time.
Chris Banks
1:22:25
Okay.
1:22:25
Thank you.
1:22:26
Thank you.
