A special council meeting scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday, to consider recommendation of disciplinary action against firefighter Michael Tyler Mandino was canceled before it began. The meeting would have followed a pre-disciplinary hearing held on October 23, 2025 due to “conduct that occurred on or about August 23, 2025.”

As a personnel issue, Fire Chief Brian Williams said he is legally unable to comment on the development. Minden Mayor Nick Cox said, “ … the issue has been resolved.”
