A proposed settlement to a two-year discrimination then retaliation lawsuit against Marion County will be presented to the County Commission on Tuesday for approval. Marion County Fire Rescue Division Chief Shari Hall filed suit against the county in May 2016, claiming the county discriminated against her based on her gender when she was passed over in 2015 for the fire chief position, which was given to now-retired Paul Nevels. After she filed complaints with the Florida Commission of Human Relations (FCHR) and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and eventually a lawsuit in civil court, Hall claims the county retaliated against her in the form of poor performance reviews and by denying her a promotion to deputy fire chief.
