Commissioner Nomination Contested
The Molokai Planning Commission (MoPC) has one open seat and it could be filled by early June by Oliver “DeGray” Vanderbilt. But his nomination by Mayor Alan Arakawa has been under review for the past two weeks after several Molokai community members have questioned his residency status.
Arakawa nominated Vanderbilt in April to fill the seat previously filled by Napua Leong, who resigned from the commission in December 2010. The commission has a maximum of nine seats, and eight out of them have been filled. Vanderbilt already served on the MoPC from 2003-2008, and was chairman his last year.
