““A summary judgment is appropriate upon a showing that no genuine issue of material fact exists and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. In reviewing a summary judgment, [an appellate court] will view the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party and will resolve all reasonable doubts against the moving party. “The facts in this case are undisputed; therefore, we will review the trial court’s application of the law to those facts to determine whether the [Board was] entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.””
