Summary
Tuesday's 3 p.m. closed session will review City Manager Elaine Forbes' performance and employment status after her Saturday arrest on suspicion of felony burglary.
Forbes, 53, was arrested at the Sausalito Yacht Harbor address and booked into Marin County Jail on $50,000 bail, according to jail records.
Thursday's earlier closed session had already placed Forbes on leave, and Brandon Phipps is now serving as acting city manager.
A family spokesperson said Forbes is experiencing a mental health crisis and urged the public not to rush to judgment as she seeks legal and healthcare counsel.
Forbes had started the job on July 1 after the council appointed the former Port of San Francisco director to lead the city.
