California city chief arrested on a yacht just three weeks after taking over top job
NY Post ^ | 7/19/26 | Daniel Farr

Sausalito’s new city manager was arrested early Saturday on suspicion of felony burglary after Marin County sheriff’s deputies responding to a noise complaint found her aboard a yacht that authorities say belonged to someone else.

Elaine Forbes told deputies she was having “a bad morning” and insisted they leave what she claimed was her boat, the Marin Independent Journal reported.

Forbes, 53, was taken into custody less than three weeks after starting as Sausalito’s top administrative official.

The arrest came two days after the Sausalito City Council placed her on administrative leave following a closed-session meeting.

Deputies responded to the Sausalito Yacht Harbor shortly before 7 a.m. Saturday, where they said Forbes was found aboard a vessel she did not have permission to board.

According to the Marin County Sheriff’s Office, Forbes initially told deputies the yacht belonged to her. Investigators later contacted the vessel’s owner, who said Forbes was not authorized to be aboard.

Three weeks on the job, and got fired for some reason. Local/City politics have become an incredibly ugly free-for-all affair these days. Finding solid, qualified people for these kinds of positions has become, I am told, quite challenging as result.

The same Lady’s picture on NYP site has her looking 15 years younger. Maybe one of them is not the correct photo.

Some cities have both - an elected mayor to perform the ceremonial duties and then a city manager appointed by the city council to conduct business.

Conventional wisdom is that the city manager model is better but obviously not in this case.

Yep. It’s Marin County, where 90% of the population are lefty whack-jobs and everyone either is, or has on retainer, an attorney...

Convinced those non-prescription glasses are a feeble attempt to “look smart”
