The determination under the preceding paragraph must be made in writing, and must be notified to the mayors of the municipalities concerned together with the reasons for it.
前項の決定は、文書をもつてし、その理由を附して関係市町村長に通知しなければならない。
When a mayor of a municipality concerned is dissatisfied with the determination under paragraph (2), the mayor may bring an action in court within thirty days from the day of receiving the notification under the preceding paragraph.
