The Planning Commission also voted to outsource the hearing to a hearings officer. Attorney Sandra Song was selected as the hearings officer for the contested case. The contested case stst hearing was conducted on August 31 and September 21, 2006, within Kona. Malcolm and Virginia Scott were stricken as parties to the proceedings due to their failure to appear.
