DocuSign Envelope la: 042DDA72-FA32-4FD5-BEBB-1848D805E74E The Spot hopes to develop a close working relationship with the Santa Ana Police Department. The SAPD is an essential resource in keeping businesses and customers like ours safe in Santa Ana and assisting such businesses in understanding compliance issues. We hope for a partnership between the SAPID and The Spot that will ensure the safety of not only our business and customers but help develop programs that will ensure the safety of the Santa Ana community and help support initiatives that educate about and enforce cannabis retail laws and regulations. Additionally, we plan to take advantage of opportunities to help the City's youth available through the SAPID, such as sponsoring scholarships awarded through the Department. We will also support Sherriff's Department initiatives, including the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs Memorial Golf Tournament that helps raise funds for the surviving families of fallen sheriffs and peace officers. II. SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS & BUILDING PRACTICES The Spot is committed to ongoing environmental stewardship as part of our overall commitment to healthier customers and communities. Our commitment to sustainable business practices is evidenced by our green facilities efforts, sponsorship of community green spaces, and cutting -edge cannabis industry sustainability practices both in our own operations and in our partners and associates who provide the products we sell. We work with organically grown and sourced products, and will focus considerable resources on the sustainability and strength of our local community environment. A. Environmental Groups The Spot will partner with California Greenworks, Inc., a registered 501 non-profit organization that promotes environmental protection and community revitalization throughout the urban centers of southern California. Their mission is to protect and improve the environment through environmental clean-up, community education and revitalization, and environmentally sustainable economic growth. The environmental impact of cannabis business is a concern for our organization, and we hope to help offset some of our carbon footprint from transportation of product to our facility through this partnership to protect local watersheds, develop Earth -friendly educational programs throughout Santa Ana, and support a variety of local green initiatives. We would also like to leverage this partnership directly to execute green -space projects in Santa Ana, providing long-term environmental benefits and immediate opportunities for enjoyment of healthy spaces for many Santa Ana residents. Green revitalization efforts not only create green jobs, but create spaces around which other community initiatives can be organized and initiated. Inviting green spaces also promote foot traffic, which offers a direct benefit to local business, and has the potential to reduce vehicle use and therefore carbon emissions. Santa Ana is one of the earliest adopters of adult -use recreational cannabis retail in the State, and it is therefore a proving ground for the potential benefits of such businesses to the environment and to communities as a whole. We look forward to demonstrating the best results of community collaborations with retail cannabis business, and to modeling a way of operating that supports sustainability and environmental stewardship at both the local and global levels.
