[Adopted 1-13-1997 by L.L. No. 1-1997]
The City Council recognizes that emergency situations
arise which require employees of the City of Batavia to be near their
place of employment and to assume the continuation of public services
to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the people. Through
adoption of this article, the City Council makes a legislative determination
that those who are residents of the City or the County of Genesee
take a greater interest in promoting the public safety and health
in the future of this community than do nonresidents who reside in
areas unaffected by City services. The City Council further declares
that such a quality is desirable for its employees. The legislative
body considers that residency by its employees within the City or
county will assure continuation of essential public services. The
City Council determines that the public need is sufficient to require
that employees hired or promoted after the effective date of this
article be residents of either the City or the county as hereinafter
stated.
Residency shall mean, for the purpose of this
article, the actual principal domicile of an individual, where he
or she normally sleeps and maintains usual personal and household
effects.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the City Council hereby establishes a residency requirement for all prospective employees. Every person initially employed by the City of Batavia on or after the effective date of this article, except those set forth in §
22-6, shall, as a qualification of employment, become a resident of the County of Genesee or any adjacent town to the County of Genesee within six months of the date of conclusion of the probationary period for the City. During the time of service of such an employee, no individual shall cease to be a resident of the County of Genesee or any adjacent town to the County of Genesee, or of the City of Batavia, depending upon the residency requirements as aforesaid.
[Amended 9-13-2004 by L.L. No. 2-2004; 7-8-2019 by L.L. No. 3-2019]
Notwithstanding §
22-5, all existing and prospective employees promoted by the City to the positions of City Manager, Assistant City Manager or Clerk-Treasurer on or after the effective date of this article shall be or within one year of such promotion, shall become a resident of the City of Batavia. During the time of employment no individual shall cease to be a resident of the City of Batavia.
A copy of this article shall be provided to
each employee upon his or her initial appointment or promotion. However,
a failure to do so shall not affect the application of this article
to any employee appointed or promoted after its effective date. A
copy of this article shall also be posted on all notice boards normally
used for employee communications.
