All duly appointed police officers, including the Police Chief, shall reside within the corporate limits of the city, both at the time of appointment to office as well as throughout the police officer’s tenure of office. The residency requirement established herein and pursuant to state law may be waived by motion of the City Council on a case-by-case basis, as has been done in past practice as stated in the police manual, which may include, but not be limited to, the duration of time which the police officer shall be allowed to reside outside of the corporate limits of the city, a radius outside of the corporate limits within which the officer is allowed to reside, and a requirement that the officer reside in a particular county or state.
