Marchese's reappointment is the first item listed on the upcoming call of the RTM, which meets at 8 p.m. Monday at Central Middle School.
Marchese declined to comment Wednesday about the matter, other than to say that he hasn't ruled out putting his name back into the mix for consideration....

2 arrested on drug charges in Bria case
"The charges resulting from the investigation are what the prosecution feels it can comfortably prosecute," said police Chief David Ridberg.
Ridberg said he did not believe there would be any additional charges, citing that the only other person who could have faced charges had died.
"As far as we are concerned the investigation if closed, but we will continue to work with the prosecution." ....
...A phone listing could not be found for Lamotte and information was not available on her attorney.
Stephan Seeger, the Stamford-based attorney for the Brias, said he was glad charges had been brought in the case.
"Matthew Maddox is among the finest legal minds in the area," Seeger said. However, Seeger said, any self-respecting lawyer who has taken a look at the police reports would be hard-pressed to say that probable cause didn't exist for possession and other more serious crimes.
"I can say on behalf of the Brias that they are grateful in the sense that they can begin to grieve properly now that something in the case has happened," Seeger added.
Both suspects were released from custody after posting a $1,000 bond and are scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford on Sept. 17.

Bowers powers GHS field hockey to victory
STAMFORD - The Stamford High School field hockey team was going through warmups Wednesday afternoon, preparing to open the year against Greenwich, the one opponent it could not overcome last fall during what would become a state championship season.
Political warfare dishonors the day
What did you think about when you looked at the calendar today?
For most of us, the specifics may have been different, but the subject and the images were the same.
They always will be. While there are thousands of triggers in our everyday lives that spark memories of Sept. 11, 2001, on this date every year those images and the stories behind them are the most vivid and inescapable. It will be that way for the rest of our lives.
It's too easy to blame deer for problems
To the editor:
"Deer hunter claim success in culling herd" (Greenwich Time, Aug. 7) sounded more like self-promotion than actual facts about our deer population, since no one seems to know the correct number. Local bowhunters say "they need a stronger sense of how many deer are left," which makes one seriously wonder how they believe that their efforts have been successful based on only anecdotal evidence.
Killing deer in no way prevents Lyme disease; deer don't get infected. In the absence of deer, we, our pets and other mammals are targeted. White-footed mice and dozens of other small mammals carry the spirochete bacterium - so let's stop blaming deer for everything.
Here's some food for thought: Is there anyone who truly believes that when deer are killed, ticks also die? Where do they go? Has anyone considered that killing deer may actually increase the number of ticks on all those little mammals scurrying around our homes and woods, making it more likely for us to be bitten and infected?
If only deer are the cause ofcar crashes, why is it that I re-member having read in Greenwich Time that with a much lower deer population in 2005 than in previous years, deer/car collisions had more than doubled, and even tripled? Drivers must take much of the blame for not driving defensively and for speeding (and who doesn't in this town?), especially at dusk and dawn.
Shame on Audubon for allowing the slaughter of deer in a sanctuary. Animal suffering inflicted by bowhunters should be more of a concern to caring residents than the loss of a few flowers that may be blamed on acid rain and other environmental impacts.
