the present case, neither the department nor the director is a “person,” and neither is “adversely affected or aggrieved.” The APA defines “person” to include “an individual, partnership, corporation, association, county, and public or private organization of any character other than an agency.” § 24-4-102(12), 10 C.R.S. (1982). An “agency” is “any board, bureau, commission, department, institution, division, section, or officer of the state, except those in the legislative branch or judicial branch and except [certain] state educational institutions ....” § 24-4-102(3), 10 C.R.S. (1985 Supp.). Each of the plaintiffs is an agency, not a person, under the APA and thus has no authority to seek judicial review. See Board of County Commissioners v. Love, 172 Colo. 121, 470 P.2d 861 (1970) (<HOLDING>). The plaintiffs argue that despite the
