LOCAL PLANNING PROCESS OVERVIEW -.00 LOCAL PLAN- LOCAL PLANS: The local plans are informed by the overarching regional plan. The OC Regional Plan informs and guides how services are delivered at a local level, as described here in the Orange County Local Plan (OC Local Plan), in a way that feeds into the architecture created by the regional plan. WIOA section 106 notes that local plans are considered as part of the regional plan and are therefore to be included and submitted with the designated Regional Planning Unit (RPU) to the state for approval. It should be noted that some local plan content requirements may be addressed in the comprehensive OC Regional Plan whenever there Is a shared regional responsibility and as such, narrative in response may simply indicate and reference the way local services and operations are integrated into broader RPU regional efforts in these areas, as developed in consultation with required planning partners. The State Board is availing itself of the flexibility to reduce duplication of effort and reduce the workload of local boards wherever federal and state regional plan requirements substantially overlap WIOA local plan requirements. Accordingly the State Board has determined that the local boards and partners should develop a common background analysis of the regional labor market, economic conditions, and analysis of the regional workforce to be placed in the overarching regional plan. This information for the Orange County Regional Planning Unit can be found in the regional plan sections 2A and 2B. In partnership, the three local boards in the Orange County Region (OC Region): Orange County Development Board (OCDB), Anaheim Workforce Development Board (AWDB), and Santa Ana Workforce Development Board (SAWDB) have collaborated to develop one OC Local Plan for the OC Region. REQUIRED PLAN ELEMENTS: The OC Local Plan has met and exceeded the requirements set forth in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) federal legislation, the State of California's Unified Strategic Workforce Development Plan- "Skills Attainment for Upward Mobility; Aligned Services for Shared Prosperity" (2016- 2020), and the California Employment Development Department Workforce Services Directive on Regional and Local Planning Guidance (WS016 -07). WIOA Section 108 requires the local boards and chief elected officials in each planning Regional Planning Unit (RPU) to engage in local planning that supports the strategy described in the State Plan and RPU OC Regional Plan. Some local plan content requirements may be addressed in the comprehensive OC Regional Plan whenever there is a shared regional responsibility and as such, narrative In the OC Local Plan response may simply Indicate and reference the way local services and operations are integrated into broader RPU regional efforts in these areas, as developed In consultation with required planning partners. A summary of portions of the local plan that are being addressed and /or referenced in the narrative content of the regional plan are identified in section 31-111 accordingly. It should be noted that, based on State content requirements, there may be minimal repetition in the plan narrative in response to address said requirements. This fact does not in any way diminish the value of the information communicated in the plan. CC Local Plan 19D -58
