and the rest of the non resident department heads, the city police, firegihters....
The mayor needs to enforce the residency requirement instead of being the wuss he is with selective enforcement.
Look at all these nice houses looking for woners, and with bloated salaries and lavish benefits they department heads get, and the OT of the police and fire, they can more than afford these homes and renovate them, they can renovate them without any of those other grants that mortgages come with.
Of course, DV doesn't thing high paid city employees should pay city taxes, taxes are only to be paid by the financially struggling residents who have essential services cut every year while taxes are increased.
Since we all know DV better than DV knows himself, we know that he will NOT address the refusal of the mayor to enforce the residency laws
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
Interestingly, I do not think the homes program aggressively markets the homes enough to public officials. The lists could be advertised within the agencies.

Maybe not a "law." But the mayor stated many times he wants his department heads to live IN the city.
The mayor is the biggest hypocrite mayor in the history of the city.
And WHY should department heads, getting fat salaries, lavish benefits (insurances, etc), sometimes cars, and a bloated pension, be allowed to get that on the backs of the financially struggling homeowners while the department heads avoid the high taxes, avoid sending their children to the low performing schools, avoid living in neighborhoods surrounded by abandoned homes and blight and roads that never get paved?
Average people are NOT buying homes IN the city. The mayor needs to force his department heads to buy these empty homes. The department heads need to live like the average people paying their salaries.

Wasn't there an agreement made last year between the Police Chief and the Council where he agreed to stay at his Mothers house during weekdays?
Yes, but really that does NOT establish residency. Gee if he "stays" at his mother's house on weekdays, them from where does he vote?
And the question is WHY is the mayor allowing him to avoid paying city taxes, and avoid having his kids go to city schools and avoid living in the blighted city, but the hypocrite mayor was fired the assessor for refusing to move INTO the city? I'm not saying anything pro or con about the previous assessor, I'm just pointing out the LIES, the HYPOCRISY of the mayor.
