Such person may appeal to the circuit court for the county in which the lands are located within twenty days after consideration by the district board of the motion for reconsideration. The appeal shall consist of notice and a recital of the proceedings taken, the facts and matters involved, and the reasons why the appellant is aggrieved by the action of the board. The appeal shall be tried before the circuit court for the county. The circuit court shall have jurisdiction to hear, decide, adjudicate, and make any and all necessary orders and judgments in the premises as in civil actions. If a motion for reconsideration or an appeal is not taken within the time allowed, the final resolution shall be filed for record in the clerk of courts and in the office of the board of county commissioners and the county treasurer of each county in which the excluded lands are located.
