• Objective 12: Preserve traditional subsistence practices and encourage a reciprocity (e.g. bartering) economy as a sustainable complement to Hamakua's resource-based economy. • Objective 13: Promote appropriate rural tourism that welcomes guests for an alternative visitor experience. Promote HawaiTs host culture and Hamakua's heritage, including historic roads and plantation towns, and festivals that celebrate our rich multi -cultural music, art, and agriculture. Throughout the CDP, references to "Community Objectives," "CDP Objectives," or "objectives" are referring to these Community Objectives adopted by the Steering Committee. 1.8.2 Identifying CDP Strategies The Community Objectives are the foundation of the CDP. All of the CDP strategies are designed to implement one or more of the objectives. To make that process as transparent as possible, Appendices V4A, B, and C each include a "strategy identification matrix' that was developed using (and makes specific references to) the comprehensive content included in that appendix. The matrix summarizes current policies and action that are aligned with community objectives, remaining policy and action gaps, and the new policy, advocacy, and community-based, collaborative action needed to achieve community objectives. In addition, Appendices V4A, B, and C each include summaries of the rationale behind each of the CDP policies. Each rationale is based on the process represented in the corresponding strategy identification matrix. To keep the CDP as concise as possible, only limited information from the appendix is repeated, though references direct the interested reader to relevant sections of the analysis. IYk1.8.3 Types of CDP Strategi The process of identifying CDP strategies made it clear that strategies fall into three basic categories: 1. Those that are the responsibility of County government —these are the Policies of the CDP. 2. Those that are not the responsibility of the County but are other governmental (Federal or State), or nongovernmental organizations' responsibility - these are called K6kua Actions. 3. Those that are not core functions of government and require community leadership and initiative — these are the Community Actions of the CDP. To focus and expedite CDP implementation, the CDP strategies are organized into those categories. Because the CDP is most fundamentally a County policy document, County responsibilities are further organized into two aspects of Land Use Policy and County Actions, which include regulatory changes, infrastructure improvements, and programs. However, the County cannot achieve Community Objectives on its own. Those objectives will not be achieved without coordinated effort from other levels of government and the community. Therefore, the CDP also clearly outlines steps that need to be taken outside of County government. Section 2 elaborates on these types of strategies in more detail, including the legal implications of each. 26
