Definition of Residency. The term "residence", as used herein shall mean the actual living quarters which are maintained within the City by an employee. Neither voting in the City nor the payment of taxes of any kind by itself by an employee shall be deemed adequate to satisfy the requirements of this Article, nor shall the provisions of this Article be satisfied by the maintaining of a rented room or rooms by an employee solely for the purpose of establishing residency in the City when it appears that his/her residence is outside of the City. Ownership of real property within the City, when not coupled with the maintenance of actual living quarters in the City as herein required, shall be deemed insufficient to meet the requirements of this Article. The Commission is hereby authorized to investigate complaints made to it with respect to the residence of employees of the City and may initiate any such investigation on its own motion. Whenever such investigation shall be made, the Commission shall make a finding with respect to whether or not such an employee is or is not actually a resident of the City in accordance with the requirements set forth herein. No consideration shall be given to the fact that such employee intends to maintain a residence in the City if he/she actually does not maintain such a residence as herein provided for. Whenever the facts disclose the existence of dual residences, or a dispute as to the location of an employee' s bona fide residence, the decision of the Commission shall be final in respect to whether or not such employee' s residence satisfies the provisions and requirements provided herein.
