The Marin County Board of Supervisors met in special session Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, for a single substantive task: evaluating the performance of the County Executive, the top appointed official in county government. All five supervisors were present. With no public comment offered, the board moved into closed session, and no outcome was announced in the public portion of the meeting.
- County Executive performance review held in closed session, with no public action recorded
- Full five-member board present for the special meeting in Room 330
- No public comment offered in the room or online before the board went behind closed doors
A Brief Public Meeting, Then a Private Review
The basics: A closed session is a portion of a public meeting held out of public view. California's open-meeting law, the Brown Act, allows local boards to meet privately to evaluate the performance of appointed employees such as a county executive.
Why it matters: The County Executive runs day-to-day county operations and answers directly to the Board of Supervisors. A performance evaluation is one of the board's main tools for holding that official accountable. It can shape priorities, direction and the working relationship between elected supervisors and the county's administrative leadership.
Where things stand: The meeting was called to order at the Marin County Civic Center in Room 330. The clerk called the roll, and each supervisor answered present:
- Supervisor, District 1, Mary Sackett
- Supervisor, District 2, Brian Colbert, the board's 2nd vice president
- Supervisor, District 3, Stephanie Moulton-Peters, the board's 1st vice president
- Supervisor, District 4, Dennis Rodoni
- Supervisor, District 5, Eric Lucan, the board president
The presiding officer then opened public comment on the noticed closed session item. No one in the room spoke, and staff reported no hands raised online. The board adjourned into closed session immediately afterward.
Decisions and stakeholder impacts: The board took no public vote. Any deliberation over the County Executive's performance happened privately. Residents, county employees and organizations that work with county leadership have no public record yet of how supervisors assessed the county's top administrator. No members of the public used the opportunity to weigh in beforehand.
What's next: Watch for any reportable action from the closed session. If the board takes action that requires public disclosure, it would typically be announced when the board reconvenes or at a future meeting.
Looking Ahead
