4 COMMUNITY CONSULTATION Honuÿapo Park Final Resources Management Plan The Honuÿapo Park Resources Management Planning process was designed to include various stakeholders at different levels of involvement to ensure that the plan was built upon a foundation of ideas generated by those that will actually utilize and benefit from the park. This stakeholder involvement process and comments received are summarized below. 4.1 Working Meetings with Ka ÿOhana O Honuÿapo (KOOH) The mission of KOOH is to “restore, care for, and protect the natural and cultural resources within the Honuÿapo area. Utilizing the values of malama ‘aina (care for the land), kupono (honesty and integrity), and kuleana (duty and responsibility), we will work in community partnerships to preserve this area for future generations.” On August 14, 2008, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Hawaiÿi County DPR and KOOH acknowledging that KOOH could provide support to DPR’s mission through park improvements, maintenance, and educational programs, provided that the group obtained appropriate approvals and permits. KOOH was involved throughout the planning process through a series of working meetings to provide opportunities for the group to better understand the planning process and requirements for public land. Additionally, KOOH provided information on existing park conditions and the surrounding community, and helped develop objectives and ideas for park uses and resources management. KOOH also provided valuable support for community outreach including setting up several community small group meetings, and providing volunteer manpower for community Speak Outs. 4.2 Community Small Group Meetings Eight small group meetings were held with Kaÿü community küpuna, adjacent landowners, resource experts, and local residents to learn about the history of Honuÿapo, and to begin understanding important aspects of the park from the community perspective as well as what was desired for the property. 4.3 July 4 th Speak Out To consult with the larger community on their thoughts, ideas and concerns on planning for Honuÿapo Park, a community “Speak Out” event was held at the July 4 th Hoÿolauleÿa in Näÿälehu, with the support of volunteers from KOOH. Modeled after the Speak Out participatory method, community members were invited to drop in at the project information pavilion at any time throughout the event and share their thoughts on a number of topics.
