help candidates in their chances for hire. The Company shall make a good faith effort to secure <br />most of our roughly 20-person workforce from residents and students of Santa Ana. Not only is <br />the hiring of local persons of utmost importance, but we must also discuss what those jobs will <br />mean for those persons. <br />We will provide quality jobs to local residents, offering high comparative wage rates and a <br />number of auxiliary benefits. In 2020, the Santa Ana minimum wage was $13.00, and this is <br />equivalent to $27,040.00 for a forty -hour work week on an annual basis. This will serve as our <br />base point. The company will be paying our employees above the base point — For instance, the <br />entry level employee will be a Sales Associate will be paid a rate equivalent to $36,000 per <br />annum. That rate allows our employees to be in a better position to afford a sustainable lifestyle. <br />We will also provide employees with numerous benefits that will likely include, but are not limited <br />to healthcare coverage, free professional financial planning, tuition reimbursement, and <br />assistance for educational and training classes and degree programs. <br />Local Sourcing <br />Santa Ana has a largest number of diverse cannabis producers and operators in Orange County. <br />Santa Ana is the hub of cannabis for much of the Southern California area outside of Los <br />Angeles; we will make good faith efforts to support all Santa Ana cultivators, manufacturers, and <br />distributors. We are extremely interested in working with currently operational, pending, and yet <br />to be operational cannabis licenses, and would do so from a radial design - sourcing from Santa <br />Ana as fully as possible, then next other Orange County city suppliers close to Santa Ana (Costa <br />Mesa) as needed, and then on to Los Angeles and Riverside County as needed. <br />Outside of working with local cannabis businesses, there are a plethora of other non -cannabis <br />services and product providers that we need in the surrounding Santa Ana area. The Company <br />shall make good faith efforts to utilizing these local businesses for all the product and services to <br />the extent they serve the best operation of our business. Services that are a must for us are <br />security and guard services, alarm installation and maintenance, delivery vehicle maintenance <br />and repair, renovation and construction, banking services, and consulting, and we will explore <br />the procurement of these services in Santa Ana above all other cities first. <br />Financial Support <br />The Company has made past donations to two local Santa Ana community organizations: <br />Catholic Charities of Orange County <br />1820 E 16th St <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />714-347-9600 <br />The mission of Catholic Charities of Orange County is to provide service to people in need, to <br />advocate for justice in social structures, and to call the entire church and other people of good <br />will to do the same. <br />Orangewood Foundation Foster & Community Youth Services <br />1575 E 17th St <br />Santa Ana, CA 92705 <br />714-619-0200 <br />The Orangewood Foundation serves youth —especially those in or transitioning out of the foster <br />care system —in Santa Ana and the community, providing resources for youth health and <br />HQ <br />
