"The board was demanding that I compromise my integrity and values. I would not do that, Landreth wrote. I stand by my values and my reputation as a professional administrator for the past 25 years. Landreth wrote that the board of directors demanded she take actions she said would have harmed her professional and personal reputation, which she refused to carry out, but did not specify what those actions were."
"Landreth's departure is a shock to the largest regional parks system in the country, as she had signed a new five-year contract extension with the East Bay Regional Park District in 2024. During her tenure, Landreth oversaw the acquisition of Point Molate in Richmond and expanded accessibility across the agency's 126,000 acres in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. The board of directors is incredibly thankful for Ms. Landreth's service and her numerous substantial contributions to the operations of the Park District,"
Sabrina Landreth resigned last week and alleges the East Bay Regional Park District board demanded she violate open-government and personnel laws. Landreth says an employee performance review on Nov. 4 led to constructive termination and that the board demanded actions that would have harmed her professional and personal reputation, which she refused. Landreth is seeking legal representation and is considering suing the agency. Her spokesperson said Landreth cannot provide further details while obtaining counsel but indicated the matter would likely become a lawsuit. Landreth had signed a new five-year contract in 2024 and oversaw acquisitions and accessibility across the district's 126,000 acres. The board appointed deputy general manager Max Korten as acting general manager.
