D. Plan Methodology <br />-~' 'The plan analyzes Orange County's utilization of minorities and women in its work <br />force as of November 1, 1998. The plan then compares the County's utilization of <br />minorities and women in its work force to the availability of minorities and women in <br />the recruitment area labor force based on 1990 census data. <br />The comparison of Orange County's utilization of minorities and women in the work <br />force in relation to the availability of minorities and women in the recruitment area <br />labor force was used to identify areas of underutilization. Turnover and recruitment <br />experience then was considered in developing tentative affirmative action placement <br />goals. Affected Orange County department heads reviewed these tentative goals and <br />gave feedback on projected openings. This feedback is reflected in the final <br />affirmative action placement goals and timetables. <br />II. Policy Statements <br />A.
