Local Hiring Presently, all owners are Orange County residents. When we commence staffing, we will work to hire 50% Santa Ana residents to work in our cultivation facility. To achieve this goal, Okie Tokie will utilize the City of Santa Ana WORK Center, which offers a one -stop solution to enhance our workforce development. Through the WORK Center, we hope to be able to attract and retain employees who live in the City of Santa Ana and the surrounding communities. The WORK Center has immediate access to work -ready candidates to assist with meeting our local recruitment goals. While being cognizant to avoid discriminatory hiring practices, we will do our best to hire Santa Ana residents. This is why working with the City's WORK program is imperative. We will do our best to hire as many Santa Ana residents as possible. We will also work with the City's Veterans Resource Center to provide job opportunities to those who have dedicated their lives to protecting and ensuring our freedom. Finally, to the extent we are able, we will also attempt to aid the Orange County Rescue Mission in hiring individuals who are prepared to go into permanent housing and need jobs to support themselves. Local Business Partnerships The Okie Tokie intends to integrate with the surrounding business community. If we host office lunches, we will order from local small businesses like Paragon Cafe around the corner at 3313 Hyland or The Sun Vegan in the other direction at 11743 Edinger or Chidori Sushi across the riverbed at 17870 Newhope. For celebrations, we will take a short ride to Downtown Santa Ana to experience all the entertainment and dining experiences it has to offer. We will also work closely with the distributors, manufacturers and retailers in Santa Ana. Additionally, we will be joining the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce to make even greater and deeper connections with other business owners in Santa Ana as well as the Santa Ana Cannabis Association. To the extent we need goods or services to support our business, we will seek out Santa Ana businesses or with the assistance of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, who provides referrals to local businesses. Sustainable Business Practices The cannabis industry is built on respect for the plant and for the environment generally and we intend to honor the planet accordingly. While constructing our facility, we were cognizant of our obligations to take care of the environment. To that end, we installed low -flow toilets for enhanced water efficiency, LED lights outside of the cultivation rooms to reduce energy consumption. To the extent we have control over the packaging and labeling used for our cannabis and co - packing transactions, we will endeavor to source sustainable, biodegradable, hemp plastic or recycled ocean packaging. 10
