[Adopted 9-1-1965 by Ord. No. 250; amended in its entirety 9-7-2011 by Ord. No. Z-123]
An examination of the records shows that many persons employed
by the City of Hoboken have moved their residency from the City and
other employees were hired as nonresidents. On September 1, 1965,
an ordinance was adopted by the City of Hoboken requiring that nonresidents
obtain domicile within the City within six months of the notice or
forfeit their employment. The 1965 ordinance was not diligently enforced.
As a result, there are currently employees who do not have their domicile
in the City of Hoboken. The Council therefore deems it advisable that
the following regulations are hereby amended.
A.
Residency.
No officers and persons employed by the City of Hoboken on or after
the adoption of this article shall be required to be bona fide residents
of the City of Hoboken in order to obtain employment or maintain employment
with the City of Hoboken.
B.
There shall
be no requirement for residency in the City of Hoboken after appointment
or as a condition of continued employment, provided that a preference
for appointment shall exist, for civil service classified employment,
in the following order:
C.
Department
Directors and all other nonclassified appointed employees shall not
be required to be a resident of the City of Hoboken at the time of
appointment, if so authorized by the Mayor.
