(8.10a) Staff report on residency requirements for city employees.
Dennis M. Kissinger, City Manager, reviewed the report, City
it Manager Memorandum 92-9, and the reasons cited for requiring all City
employees to live in Saline County. The reasons are:
I
1. Employees who are residents of our community generally will have a
greater stake in the quality of their work and will take greater
pride in that work for the community.
2. Having City employees who actually live in our community promotes
public confidence in local government.
3. City employees who live in our community presumably will spend a
! good portion of their wages there, thus keeping more City money
circulating within the community, improving the local economy and
j City finances.
4. City employees living in the community tend to have a better
understanding of the community's interests, values, problems and
concerns, and can better address those community needs through
their job duties.
92-174
92-175
5. In some cases, it is necessary to have available emergency staffing.
Reasonable residency boundaries serve to enhance the emergency
manpower pool.
6. A residency requirement enhances the community's economy by either
providing jobs for current community residents, or bringing new
residents into the community when a job appointment is made of a
nonresident.
Roger Struble, 2144 Hillside, attorney, asked that an exception be
made for a long-term employee who has had to relocate out of the County.
Moved by Commissioner Ryan, seconded by Commissioner Brungardt
that the City Commission reaffirm the current residency requirements as
outlined in City Manager Memorandum 92-9 and that the City Clerk be directed
to incorporate the reasons cited in the memorandum into the minutes of this
Commission meeting. Aye: (5) . Nay: (0) . Motion adopted.
