5, Reduce waste. This is likely the simplest and most obvious way to engage in sustainable <br />practices. We plan to recycle all our plastics, metals and paper and also reduce waste by limiting the <br />amount of office resources being used by using as many digital platforms as we can for advertising, <br />daily operations, document control, compliance etc. <br />6. Giving back to the Community. Myself personally I have had an eighteen -year career in working <br />for the Dept of Defense. I spent most of my career detached to the Navy and Air Force, so I have a <br />huge heart for Veterans. I have reached out to STEP SoCal which stands for Support the Enlisted <br />Project. They are non-profit organization located in the City of Santa Ana. They are located at 1631 <br />Sunflower Ave., Suite C34, Santa Ana, CA 92704 and can be reached at (714) 444-0075, Our POC <br />is Shannon Buhrmaster and her direct contact number is (213) 327-9088. Below is al link tto their <br />website. https://www.stepsocal.org/services <br />There main goal is to provide guidance in finances for military families that are swimming in debt, <br />housing for homeless veterans as well as provide aid in the form of supplies, diapers, food, water to <br />military families that are unable to support themselves. <br />We have committed to monetary donations quarterly in the amount of 2% of our revenue. We <br />anticipate approximately 3.5 - 4million dollars annually in revenue for our Cannabis business. Our <br />monetary donation to the STEP organization is anticipated to be 70,000.00 — 80,000.00 annually. <br />Each quarter we will provide a copy of our P&L sheet to the City Manager's office along with a copy <br />of the check we have donated to the STEP organization. The donation will be made the month <br />following the close of the quarter but no later than 30 calendar days after the close of the quarter. <br />This should allow enough time for our bookkeeper to complete the bookkeeping for the previous <br />quarter and issue the donation. <br />We will also sponsor 1-2 outreach events that are located in the City of Santa Ana (we will post <br />volunteer posters at the office for these events to encourage our employees to participate in these <br />events), collect donated goods on their behalf (we will place boxes in the lobby and encourage <br />people to donate canned goods and non-perishable food items once a quarter) and deliver them to <br />there location, purchase goods (we will purchase up to 3,000.00 dollars for special events such as a <br />Christmas toy drive or purchase non-perishable goods to make Thanksgiving Baskets) as a <br />company and donate them at the request of the STEP organization. We will request a letter of <br />service from STEP that we will provide to the City Managers office within ten days of receipt. <br />Even though we are a relatively small company we hope to have a large footprint in helping the <br />Veteran Community of Santa Ana. I have worked with many non-profit organizations throughout my <br />career and we are proud to work with STEP and look forward to benefiting them so they can benefit <br />our local Veterans, <br />7, Hiring Practices- Our approach to local hiring will be a two fold approach <br />The first fold will be to list all available job openings in Santa Ana based media outlets (Orange <br />County Register; Sentinel GPS and Azteca news) for a period of fifteen days prior to releasing to <br />mainstream media outlets. All residents from the City of Santa Ana will be given preference if it is <br />within the guidelines per the California Department of Labor. <br />The second fold will be to use social media outlets and hashtag the City of Santa Ana Residents, <br />Santa Ana, Santa Ana Jobs, Santa Ana Citizens, Santa Ana Community so we can pool applications <br />from as many locals as possible. If we receive enough responses from social media outlets <br />(Facebook; Instagram) we will host a job fair offsite of the facility so residents can come and <br />interview in person. We will find a location within the city limits of Santa Ana for this job fair and also <br />NO <br />
