Discussion of Residency Ordinance
Mayor Kelly stated that he has been approached a number of times
by people who question whether the City' s ordinance which
requires that new employees reside within the City within 18
months after they are hired is too strict and in the best
interest of the City. Representatives from the various employee
groups addressed the Council and stated their objections to the
residency requirement. Among the reasons cited to repeal the
residency requirement were that it limits the pool of prospective
employees, makes it difficult to attract qualified people for
certain positions, eliminates employees ' right to choose where
they live, few other municipalities have a residency requirement,
can create family hardships , some people can' t afford to
relocate, not wanting to relocate can keep a qualified employee
from applying for promotion, and living within the City doesn' t
make an employee work any harder than one who doesn' t live within
the City. The Council was urged to repeal the residency
ordinance.
Councilman Gavin made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Yearman,
to immediately repeal residency across the board.
Councilman Schock stated that he would like to have more
information before voting on this issue. Councilwoman Yearman
rb. made a motion, seconded by Councilman Schock, to table the motion
until the November 4 , 1998, meeting. Yeas : Councilmembers
