2023_01_11 BOLINotice of Substaintial Evidence Determintation.pdf1/10/2024 - New complaint signed detailing Incidents after June of 2022 including termination. After speaking with a few attorneys they said that wouldn't even persue the items in the Above complaint since the actions since the new Fire Chief Mark "Nick" Tyler were so much more serious then the first. I have been told that Mr. Tyler was attempting to deflect his wrongdoing by stating with was all done by Chief Barringer. I dont disagree that he was dealt a bad hand but Mr. Tyler is the one who chose this path. I believe he did it based on his Arrogance and Ego and attempt to set a precedence so no one else would try to challenge him.
