In accordance with Chapter 68.08, any person aggrieved may have a written or oral determination reviewed by written request mailed or delivered to the municipal authority which made such determination within 30 days of notice to such person of such determination. The request for review shall state the ground or grounds upon which the person aggrieved contends that the decision should be modified or reversed.
See s. 68.09(2) for more information regarding who may review the initial determination. See Chapter 990.001(4) for how time is to be computed in accordance with a rule.
It is the certification agency’s responsibility to review the decision of the certification worker within 15 days of the receipt of the applicant / operator’s written request for review. The time frame for review may be extended by agreement with the person aggrieved.
The individual / agency reviewing the determination may affirm, reverse or modify the initial determination and shall mail or deliver to the person aggrieved a copy of the decision on review which shall state the reasons for the decision. The decision shall advise the person aggrieved of the right to appeal the decision, the time within which appeal shall be taken and the office or person with whom notice of appeal shall be filed.
