(a) Every employee of the City of Toledo shall be a resident of the City of Toledo; provided, however, pursuant to Section 61 of the Charter of the City of Toledo, that every employee of the City who has established and maintained his/her residence outside the limits of the City prior to November 7, 1972, shall be allowed to continue such residency during his/her employment with the City, and provided further that employees who receive waivers may reside outside the City subject to any limitations or conditions placed upon their waiver.
(b) An employee of the City who wishes to seek a waiver of the residency requirement shall apply in writing to the Department of Human Resources on the application form provided by the City. The employee must set forth the facts meeting the Charter criteria that non-residence of such employee would be in the best interest of the City and that justice to such employee requires waiver of the residency requirement. Based upon the documentation presented, the City's Mayor will make a determination as to whether the Charter criteria have been met. The decision of the Mayor shall be considered final. The Mayor may at his/her option grant temporary, limited, or conditional waivers as he/she sees fit.
