Sarah Seelye, moderator of the Representative Town Meeting for almost the past three years, is resigning from the RTM and moving to Fairfield to be closer to her new job. “I really thought I was going to be staying in Darien,” Seelye said in an interview Monday morning, “but my job [in commercial real estate] takes me farther from town.” Seelye said some meetings in Town Hall take place during the day, when she’ll now be at work. “I made the decision I couldn’t do both the way I wanted to, and I couldn’t be half in and half out,” she said. The RTM Rules Committee, which Seelye chairs as moderator, will meet Monday night. Seelye’s resignation is on the agenda.
