[Adopted 5-21-2019 by Ord. No. 19-02]
Except as otherwise provided by law, all candidates appointed
to positions of employment by the City Police and Fire Departments
subsequent to the date of this article shall be classified according
to residency. Bona fide residents of the City of Englewood shall receive
preference in hiring over all other residency classes, provided they
successfully complete the established testing and/or protocol in place
for such a position.
A bona fide resident for the purpose of this article is defined
as a person having permanent domicile within the City or residency
class for a period of 12 months prior to application for employment,
and one which has not been adopted with the intention of taking up
or claiming a previous residence required outside of the boundaries
of the City.
In the event the City Manager advises the governing body that
particular positions or employments require special talents with skills
such as specialized knowledge, abilities, licenses, or unique training,
which are necessary for the operations of the City, then the City
Manager may fill the same without preference to residents of the City
of Englewood.
