Topeka temporarily repeals residency requirement it’s had since the early 1980s

Topeka’s city government is rescinding, at least for the next five years, the residency requirement it’s had in place since the early 1980s.The Topeka City Council voted 7-2 Tuesday evening to approve an ordinance taking that step, which is aimed at increasing the city’s pool of potential workers at a time when high-quality employees have been hard to find. The ordinance OK’d Tuesday arranges for the repeal to expire on Dec. 31, 2027, unless the mayor and council vote to extend it beyond then.
