Fairfield’s mayor abruptly resigned Tuesday just hours before city leaders were set to consider the findings of a contentious residency investigation that had clouded her final months in office. Catherine Moy stepped down ahead of a special City Council meeting called to address questions about whether she met the residency requirements to serve as mayor, ending months of political turmoil before the council could act. The mayor’s seat sat empty during the meeting, leaving Vice Mayor Pam Bertani to lead proceedings as acting mayor, reported ABC10.
