Section 3:
The City Council may at its discretion extend the period for
compliance with this ordinance an additional 30 days. Such an extension
may be given to any affected employee if that employee has made a
demonstrable effort to comply by arranging for the purchase of a home
within the city limits before the end of the applicable period, and
the delay preventing full compliance is caused only by the delay in
completing any required real estate transaction, and that delay does
not arise on account of any fault of the employee.

Failure to establish residency within the required area within
the time allowed by this ordinance shall result in immediate termination

For the purposes of this ordinance the term "Immediate Urban
Growth Boundary" shall mean the Urban Growth Boundary approved and
