Text: In an appeal from an agency decision, we review the agency's decision independently of the district court's decision and our review is limited to the record. Dovel v. Dobson, 122 Idaho 59, 831 P.2d 527 (1992); St. Alphonsus Med. Ctr. v. Canyon County, 120 Idaho 420, 816 P.2d 977 (1991). Under I.C. § 67-5215(g), this court can reverse or modify an agency decision only in limited circumstances such as when the agency's decision is affected by error of law, is clearly erroneous in view of the whole record, or is found to be arbitrary or capricious. In addition, if the record is insufficient to support the agency's decisions, we can reverse the decision or remand the case for further proceedings. Dovel v. Dobson, supra ; Idaho County Nursing Home v. Department of Health and Welfare, 120 Idaho 933, 821 P.2d 988 (1991); Love v. Board of County Commr's, 105 Idaho 558, 671 P.2d 471 (1983).
