ORANGE COUNTY <br /> AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN <br /> I . Introduction <br /> Orange County is committed to the policy of equal <br /> employment opportunity and to a program of affirmative <br /> action to fulfill that policy. The following sections <br /> describe the policy and the plan for its implementation. <br /> A. Plan Purpose <br /> This affirmative action plan results from the County' s <br /> internal review of its work force and personnel <br /> practices. It is an effort to provide a written set <br /> of result-oriented procedures designed to promote <br /> equal employment opportunity within Orange County <br /> government. <br /> The major emphasis of the affirmative action plan is <br /> to continue to apply good faith efforts to seek out, <br /> employ, train and promote minorities and women within <br /> and into the County' s work force. <br /> An effective affirmative action program not only <br /> benefits those who could have been denied equal <br /> employment opportunity but also benefits the County <br /> by making available the useful talents, resources and <br /> skills of minorities and women which may have been <br /> underutilized. <br /> B. Plan Period <br /> The plan covers the period from November 1, 1992 <br /> through October 31, 1994 . <br /> C. Plan Coverage <br /> The plan covers all permanent full time and permanent <br /> part time employees and positions of Orange County. <br /> It does not cover elected officials. <br /> The plan addresses affirmative action as to minorities <br /> and women. The County also takes affirmative action <br /> in employment of individuals with disabilities . The <br /> County has completed the self evaluation process <br /> required under the Americans with Disabilities Act and <br /> will be writing a separate updated Affirmative Action <br /> Plan as to individuals with disabilities. <br /> -1- <br />
