stating exactly what the decision was and any reasoning or findings that the
panel made with respect to their decision.
He said once this order was received, that would start a thirty (30) day

that decision to the Superior Court. He
said if no appeal was filed within thirty (30) days of the County receiving the
order, that decision would become final and would not
