The board shall make a decision on the appeal at one of its regularly scheduled board meetings within 90 days of receipt of the appeal. The board's hearing on the appeal shall be informal and the rules of evidence shall not apply. Any interested person may submit documentation that they wish the board to consider, but must do so at least 30 days before the hearing. Any interested person shall have the opportunity to be heard at the hearing. The board may rule immediately on the appeal or may take the appeal under advisement and issue a decision at a later date. The board's decision on the appeal shall be final.
