[Adopted 12-18-1984 by L.L. No. 4-1984 (Art. XXIII of Sub-Part C of Part I of the 1973 Code)]
All employees of the City of Troy, except those
expressly exempt by the Public Officers Law of the State of New York,
shall be residents of the City of Troy at the time of their employment
or shall become residents within 90 days after their employment and
shall remain residents of the City of Troy as a condition of their
continued employment. Except as hereinafter provided, any employee
of the City who does not comply with the mandatory residency requirements
of this article shall be subject to immediate termination by the Mayor.
The residency provisions of this article shall
not apply to any City employee who is employed by the City on the
date of the adoption of this article, but shall apply to persons whose
employment with the City of Troy commences after the date of adoption
of this article, except those persons expressly exempted by the Public
Officers Law of the State of New York.
In the event the Mayor shall certify to the
City Council that, after a reasonable recruitment period, he/she has
been unable to fill a vacancy in any City position covered by this
article by appointing a qualified resident of the City or a qualified
nonresident who is prepared to become a resident within 90 days of
his or her employment, then the Mayor may waive the residency requirements
for said position on the grounds of "difficulty of recruitment." Such
waiver shall apply to such specific appointment only as certified
and waived by the Mayor.
