Council hears proposed local law to expand city employee residency to Orange County / 25 miles
Summary
At a public hearing the council considered Local Law No. 8 to change the city's employee residency requirement from a 15-mile radius of the city line to a requirement allowing residence within Orange County or within 25 miles of the city boundary; no public comments were recorded and the hearing was closed.
The council opened and closed a public hearing on Local Law No. 8, a proposed ordinance to revise the city's employee residency requirement. The motion to open the hearing was seconded by Councilman Jeffrey Rhodes; the motion carried by voice vote.
An on-the-record speaker summarized the change as follows: under the existing local law city employees must live within a 15-mile radius of the nearest point on the city line, and the proposed law would expand that allowable area to Orange County or to within 25 miles of the nearest point on the city boundary. The transcript does not identify a named speaker for that explanation; the statement appears at SEG 095-106.
No members of the public were recorded as signing up to speak. After a procedural motion the council closed the public hearing; no adoption vote occurred at this meeting.
The council later voted to enter executive session on several nonpublic matters. The residency proposal remains under consideration; the record in this meeting does not include fiscal analysis, enforcement details, or an adoption vote.
