In the event either of the requirements is not fulfilled, the employee may be terminated. This section is to be applied retroactively to include all current employees, as this was the initial intent of the original ordinance. With valid acceptable cause, such as licenses, certificates or permits, the Safety-Service Director may temporarily extend the time period for relocation or waive the residency requirement. (Ord. 2005-153. Passed 12-20-05.)
