2. “Where a right of appeal from a decision of an administrative agency is provided by a statute, this court has perceived an implicit requirement that reasonable notice of the agency decision be given in order to implement the legislative purpose in providing for an appeal. (citation omitted). `Until the prospective appellant has either actual or constructive notice that a decision has been reached the right of appeal is meaningless.' (citations omitted). We have also insisted that specific statutory requirements for notice be strictly followed. (citations omitted). The policy under these holdings ensures the interested parties receive reasonable notice of an administrative agency decision.”
