Should city employees be required to live within the city?
Mandatory in-city residency has come up in conversations at City Council meetings as part of council’s discussions about employees who live outside the city and drive city-owned vehicles home.
Ohio law forbids cities from making mandatory residency requirements, but the Ohio Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments on Jan. 20, 2009, in Lima vs. State of Ohio, a case that addresses the issue.
Hamilton City Law Director Hillary Stevenson is advising that the city await the Supreme Court’s decision on the case before any action is taken on the part of City Council.
