PART 2. PRINCIPLES <br />Our citizens are the heart of our community. Its residents are a mixture of many cultures and <br />backgrounds who value the legacies left by those who have come before them. They respect <br />the personal rights of others, the family and the unique gifts and talents of individual <br />community members. There is a commitment to safeguard our island and its non-renewable <br />natural resources for present and future generations. At the same time, the community's <br />economic, educational and physical infrastructure must be sound to sustain the quality of life <br />our citizens desire. <br />PART 3.
