BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That in exceptional circumstances of extreme hardship where compelling reasons of health or some other compelling or unusual circumstance requires a particular place of residence outside of the County of Orange, the employee may make a detailed written request for a waiver of the residence requirement which shall state the exact location of the non- conforming residence request, the exact details of the reason creating the necessity for such waiver, any and all supporting data and documents such as a medical report by a physician or surgeon licensed to practice in the State of california giving the diagnosis, his opinion, and the basis for his opinion, including any laboratory examinations, physical examinations and X-rays. Such written request shall be filed in triplicate, except that the supporting documents need only be attached to the original thereof, and shall be delivered to the Department Head of the employee. Such Department Head shall attach thereto his personal comments and may include his recommendation and shall deliver the original and one copy to the City Manager within three (3) business days after receipt thereof. The City Manager shall attach to the original thereof his comments and may include his recommendation and shall deliver the original thereof to the Director of Personnel within five (5) days after he receives the same. The Director of Personnel shall present said request at the next succeeding meeting of the Personnel Board. After examining the request and any supporting documents and making such inquiry as it may desire, the Personnel Board may grant a waiver of the residential requirement herein set out or may deny the same. In reaching its determination the Personnel Board shall consider the employee's need for such exceptional treatment on residence location, the employee's personal record, his value to the City as an employee and the effect of a waiver upon City service, the time necessary to reach his place of employment if he be called to perform emergency overtime, and such other matters affecting the public interest as may be presented or appear from the data available to the Personnel Board. Any waiver of residential requirements may be limited or conditioned. The fact of such waiver and any conditions affecting the same shall be filed with the City Manager and the Department Head. -1-
