If the executive secretary determines the complaint to have merit, the executive secretary may consult with the licensee and the parties affected to resolve the matter satisfactorily without a formal hearing. The executive secretary must notify the complainant, the licensee complained against, and affected parties of the results of the informal consultation in writing. The informal consultation does not prevent the commission from conducting a formal hearing.
