Wolff resigns as Town Manager; Council hires outside lawyer to investigate, waives Brown Act secrecy
Town Manager Adam Wolff is stepping down. On Tuesday's consent-heavy agenda, tucked among sign permits and sewer minutes, the Council will vote on Resolution No. 38/2026 accepting Wolff's resignation and appointing Adam Politzer as Interim Town Manager, under a new Interim Town Manager Employment Agreement.
The same night, the Council will also adopt a Second Amendment to Wolff's existing employment agreement (Resolution 37/2026) — approved, per the packet, alongside his departure — and a separate resolution (39/2026) hiring A.W. Blan Workplace Legal Services to conduct an independent investigation. That resolution also grants a limited waiver of the Brown Act's confidentiality rules so meeting attendees can tell the investigator what happened in closed sessions held May 20 and August 11, 2026.
Before the public meeting, the Council will huddle in a special closed session to discuss anticipated litigation (one case, under Government Code 54956.9(d)(4)) and to conduct a performance evaluation of the Town Manager. None of the underlying allegations or disputes are described in the public materials — the packet lists only the resolutions and legal mechanics, with no staff narrative or public comment on record. What prompted the resignation, and what the investigation will examine, isn't spelled out in what the Town has released so far.
