We found enough there that we felt compelled to leave an advisory and provide some education about the current law of cannabis in the situation that we’re in right now which is still operating underneath that injunction that stops us from enforcing but we are educating people.

Jeffrey Kelly -ATCC-: We had 13 of all of the incidents of all the inspections we did last month. We had 13 that were reportable and from that we seized a variety of contraband. Set over 17,000, it was 17,724 sticks of other tobacco products. Which those who have seen our storage facilities here. No, it’s a lot of what we get nowadays and it takes up a lot of 207 packs of contraband cigarettes and a tax loss of 1035 dollars. The OTP. I should say, the tax laws for that was 12,406, 80 cents. 3,552 Containers of distilled spirits. it’s a lot. We’ll say that largely. They were miniatures or slightly smaller size containers that were seized. And 53 containers of wine were seized as well.

Jeffrey Kelly -ATCC-: And moving on, if I made to our staffing situation, we have a fiscal services supervisor, that will be starting next week, which will help to fill out a vacancy. We for a little while in our essential shared services, Office. So that higher will be next Wednesday. Today, we’ve Completed the final interviews for our licensing supervisor, which was previously John horny prior to his passing. And it’s been a tough road there, simply because we have two outstanding candidates who have gone to the final round. So we’re in good shape, wherever, that lands, we’re in good shape, but that decision should be made today.

Jeffrey Kelly -ATCC-: And regarding our licensing or rather our permit renal. This is the month of the period of time, because November first, is when our permits expire, we’ve got 50% of our permit applications that we sent that for renewal have come back. All of them have been processed, so there’s no backlog and just so 50% Return rate on these is exceptionally well for this time of year relative to the past years so I’m pretty good shape there. No. Last minute, scrambling.

Jeffrey Kelly -ATCC-: Mr. Chairs, I look over these. that’s all I’m going to report on formally. I know it’s on informal so we don’t have a corn but I will make mention of one other thing and I can’t give you any details because I don’t have them all yet. But next month, I’ll be happy to report out. We had a Barely significant operation, that came to a conclusion, early morning hours yesterday. Don’t have all the details on it yet, but I think it’s going to be impressive and it’s something that you will hear about. No later than Next. Month’s meeting, but maybe even sooner and I think you’re gonna be very impressed. Just care. That’s the conclusion of my report.
