All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Clear leaves and litter off the curb inlets near Adams Blvd and Vermont Ave. Leaves and litter mat over these curb inlets and every first rain turns the intersection into a pond; clearing the SURFACE of each grate from the curb before storms is the ounce of maintenance that prevents the flooded-crosswalk pound. Surface only, never open or lift a grate. For the payer: - Price: $160 per job, counted in inlets cleared. - Likely payer: LA Sanitation and Environment, through MyLA311 requests. - Public money rule: if a public agency pays for this cleaning or maintenance, California may treat it as public works (Labor Code 1720 and 1771; routine janitorial work is excluded). Covered maintenance over $1,000 pays at least the state prevailing wage, and over $15,000 the contractor must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (Labor Code 1725.5). The crew works under the payer's contractor or employer of record. - No license is needed: clearing leaves and litter from a curb inlet, from the curb is maintenance, not construction work, so no contractor license applies.
Offer to pay $160. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Start after the crew's safety orientation. The employer provides drinking water, shade and cool-down rests, and N95 masks when wildfire smoke puts the AQI at 151 or more. No other special training is needed. Work from the curb: do not step into the traffic lane, never open, lift, or reach inside a grate or catch basin, skip any inlet that would put you in live traffic, and stop work in active rain; wear waterproof puncture-resistant boots, cut-resistant gloves and a hi-vis vest near traffic.
The full safety list for this job:
- Rake and gloved hand-clearing of the surface only.
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: waterproof puncture-resistant boots for needles, glass and slick wet footing at the curb; cut-resistant gloves for glass, sharps and contaminated runoff.
- Wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
- Heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.

Steps
- Record the request that sends you before you set a cone: the MyLA311 service request number for this inlet, or the LA Sanitation or owner work order that names it. If none exists, file a request on MyLA311 (the app, myla311.lacity.org or 311) first. Write the number at the top of your proof. With none, stop.
- Walk the curb of the intersection or corridor the title names and find the inlet grates matted over with leaves and litter.
- Record a GPS waypoint for the work area.
- Standing at the curb, take a before photo of each matted inlet grate from a spot you can return to.
- Clear the leaves and litter off the surface of each grate from the curb and put it in a bag.
- Take an after photo of each grate from the same spot as its before photo, showing the cleared surface.
- Count the inlets you cleared, then dispose of the bag and write down how you disposed of it.
- Record the before and after photos, GPS, inlet count and bag disposal note in the proof record.
What counts as done
- Before photo of each matted/blocked inlet grate
- After photo from the same vantage showing the cleared grate surface
- Count of inlets cleared and bag disposal note
- The request that sends you: the MyLA311 service request number for the inlet, or the LA Sanitation or owner work order that names it, written down before the first photo.
- Sign-off: LA Sanitation closes the MyLA311 request, or the host or owner signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Photos: take the before photo and the after photo from the same point (stand where the first one was taken and match its frame), each with its GPS point and its date and time.
- Left where they lie: needles, human waste and anyone's belongings or tent are photographed from a distance and filed on MyLA311, never handled.
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
