Dear Ms. Zumbana,

Regarding my request for the 2024 municipal cannabis revenue numbers, the request was given number T000045-012125. I've received a number of responses on this email address, but the records provided address other unrelated requests that I have filed, most recently the 2025 annual meeting schedules.

However, the records I am seeking in this request are as follows: documents or other records sufficient to show the total municipal revenue collected from each cannabis business in the municipality for the calendar year 2024. Please provide the requested records as email attachment(s) to this email address.

Please also note that each request made through OPRAmachine comes to you from a separate email address. This is to help ensure that your responses go to the right place.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil
