3 resources, and advancing social and racial equity. The recommendations in the Plan are organized into seven Recovery Support Functions focused on the local economy, the health system, human services, housing, natural and cultural resources, community planning, and public information. The majority of the Plan provides detailed recommendations in each of those Recovery Support functions in terms of what needs to take place, who should be involved, when these activities would need to occur, and how progress will be measured. The plan appendices provide additional information to help enact the plan or explain its development and include: a summary of input from key stakeholders throughout the planning process; a map of how community input was integrated in the plan; and information about funding sources available to help implement the plan. The final draft plan is available at https://www.orangencforward.org/wp- content/uploads/2021/04/Final-Draft-Long-Term-Recovery-and-Transformation-Plan.pdf and the full Recovery Plan website https://www.orangencforward.org/ In addition to the Plan documents, the staff team created a Frequently Asked Questions document (Attachment 1). Each governing board also received a presentation on the final draft plan in the Summer of 2021 (Attachment 2). These presentations were followed by a letter to elected officials in the Fall of 2021 that answered questions raised by each governing board (Attachment 3). The Recovery Support Functions are now in the process of identifying how programs and services currently provided by each jurisdiction are working to advance the goals contained in the Plan. The inventory will serve as the basis for a gap analysis to identify strategies that are not currently being addressed or are not being addressed adequately. A preliminary review of the responses identifies areas where interagency collaboration has been successful, but it also demonstrates the need for flexibility as each jurisdiction executes the initiatives contained in the Plan. As a result, each jurisdiction will be asked to endorse the strategies contained in the Plan rather than the specific initiatives. This approach is consistent with the approval of a framework for the One Orange Racial Equity Plan which provided a framework for advancing racial equity while allowing each jurisdiction to determine next steps. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues and provide feedback to staff related to this item as necessary. Travis Myren, Deputy County Manager, made the following presentation:
