Council amends municipal code to allow residency exceptions for employees assigned outside Mcdana County

The council adopted an amendment to section 2-133 of the city's municipal code to provide an exception to residency requirements for employees who are assigned to work locations outside Mcdana County. The city attorney explained the amendment's purpose and read the ordinance language into the record.

City Attorney: "Section 2-133 of the MCOME municipal code does establish residency requirements that is applicable to city officers and employees. Council would find it appropriate to provide an exception to that residency requirement for those employees who are assigned to work in a location outside of Mcdana County." The amendment makes employees assigned to out‑of‑county work locations eligible to reside in the county of their assigned work location.

A motion to adopt the ordinance was made, seconded and adopted by roll call on second reading.
