appeal that decision or result to the circuit court for the county in which the town is located. The appeal is instituted by giving written notice to the town legislative body and filing with the town
clerk a bond in the sum of five hundred dollars ($500), with surety approved by the legislative body. The bond must provide that the appeal will be duly prosecuted and that the appellants will pay all costs if the appeal is decided against them.
