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. I've worked with science centers, zoo's, and public aquariums <br />For almost 15 years. We strongly believe in contributing to the next generations education and <br />awareness of minimizing our carbon foot prints. We will donate exhibits to the Santa Ana Zoo, and <br />the Discovery Cube. <br />Creating a fun positive experience is a great way to create awareness and spark interest in the <br />importance of keeping the city clean. We like do our part in combatting global warming and <br />promoting the going green movement. When people are interested and engaged in animals and <br />habitats they tend to be conscientious of how their actions affect their communities. <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 />Even though we are a relatively small company we hope to have a large footprint in helping the <br />young adults and youth of the Community of Santa Ana. I have worked with companies and <br />hospitals that provide aid and treatment to children with cancer and other illnesses. Companies such <br />as the The Ronald McDonald House and the and the Children's Cancer Ward and the Kentucky <br />Hospital. I've also coached youth sports for 12 years. We will always be passionate about <br />contributing to communities we do business in. <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 />contact the City of Santa Ana to see if they have any special programs ort events that we can set up <br />a booth at and receive job applications and perform interviews. <br />Our goal is to have most of our new hires from within the City of Santa Ana and to target a 50% rate <br />of employment for Santa Ana residents for our business. We will maintain a list of all media outlets, <br />news outlets and special events that we use for the above -mentioned approach with dates and <br />times. This list will be submitted to the City Manager annually or upon request at any time. <br />10 <br />
