    The applicant for the temporary camp permit shall be mailed notification of the health officer's decision to approve, approve with conditions, or deny within three days of the decision being made. If the decision of the health officer is to approve or approve with conditions, the subject premises shall be posted by the health officer with a "notice of temporary camp" within three days of the decision being made. The "notice of temporary camp" shall describe the temporary camp activity and explain how interested people may obtain additional information about the temporary camp activity and the procedure for appealing the health officer's decision. Notice of the health officer's decision shall also be placed on the first available agenda of the board of supervisors. The decision of the health officer made pursuant to Section 8.64.050 may be appealed to the board of supervisors by an applicant or any aggrieved person or reviewed by the board of supervisors on its own motion. Such appeal or review shall be scheduled for consideration and public hearing at a regular meeting of the board of supervisors. An appeal, accompanied by an appeal fee in an amount established by resolution of the board of supervisors, shall be filed with the health officer within seven days from the date the board of supervisors first considers the health officer's decision on its agenda. An appeal shall be filed in the form of a letter setting forth the reasons for the appeal. When an appeal has been filed, or the board of supervisors has voted to review his decision, the health officer shall prepare a report on the matter. When an appeal has been filed, the health officer shall schedule the appeal for consideration and public hearing by the board of supervisors at a regular meeting of the board of supervisors not more than twenty days from the date the health officer receives the appeal letter. When an appeal is filed or the board of supervisors orders a review of the health officer's decision, the county clerk shall mail not less than ten days before the hearing written notice of the time and place of the consideration and public hearing by the board of supervisors to all applicants and also to all aggrieved persons who have filed appeals. The county clerk shall also serve notice of time, place, and general description of the subject matter of such hearing by publishing once in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county, at least five days before the hearing and consideration.

    (b)

    After complying with the requirements of Section 8.64.060(a), the board of supervisors may affirm, affirm in part, or reverse the decision of the health officer that is the subject of the appeal based on findings of fact regarding the particular case. Such findings shall identify the reasons for the action on the appeal, and verify the compliance or noncompliance of the subject of the appeal with the provisions of this chapter including but not limited to the required findings (1) through (6) set forth in Section 8.64.050. The decision of the board of supervisors shall be final.
