RE: RESCINDING Letter of resignation- Fire & EMS Chief position with BOCC
DATE: April 30, 2019

County Administrator Lovoy,
Good afternoon. Many changes have occurred since my resignation in early April, and in good
conscience I cannot leave my position or departments without a succession plan. Uncertainties
regarding future direction make it even more critical to stay involved.
Other factors include the obvious show of support from the Escambia County BOCC towards not
only County-wide improvements, but also initiatives aimed at improving the County’s
emergency services. These are all great undertakings that will benefit the citizens for decades to
come. Hearing the new County Administrator’s vision for the future; I hereby rescind my
resignation as Fire & EMS Chief.

Respectfully submitted,

R.C. Nail
c.c. Amy Lovoy, Interim County Administrator
Matt Coughlin, Asst. County Administrator
Eric Kleinert, Human Resources Director
Paul Williams, Fire Rescue Deputy Chief
Leon Salter, EMS Deputy Chief
