Editor's Note: Former Art. I, Residency Requirement, adopted 5-17-1984 by L.L. No.
1-1984, was repealed 11-3-2022 by L.L. No. 12-2022.
The Town Board of the Town of Montgomery recognizes that emergency
work situations arise which require employees of the Town of Montgomery
to be near their place of employment and to assume the continuation
of public services to protect health, safety and general welfare of
the people. Through the adoption of this article, the Town Board makes
a legislative determination that those who are residents of the Town
take a greater interest in promoting the public safety and health
and in the future of this community than do nonresidents whose families
reside in areas unaffected by Town services. The Town Board further
declares that such quality is desirable for its employees. The Town
Board considers that residency by its employees and officers within
a community will strengthen the economic status of the Town and will
encourage stability in its neighborhoods and assure continuation of
essential public services. Pursuant to the authority of law and pursuant
to determinations by the State Public Employment Relations Board,
the Town Board determines that the public need is sufficient to require
that the employees hired or promoted after the effective date of this
article shall be residents of the Town.
