From time
to time, the City of Oneonta may find it impracticable to recruit
new employees with certain specialized skills from within the designated
residency region. After a recruitment effort which is deemed both
extensive and exhaustive by legislative resolution, the Common Council
may waive the residency requirement by resolution of a 3/4 majority
of the Council. Such waiver shall not violate the legislative determination
that the designated residency of employees in the departments stated
in this chapter remains essential to the protection of the health,
safety and general welfare of the people of the City of Oneonta.
