tO <br />Durham County <br />From: Jensen, Laura [mailto:ljensen@co.durham.nc.us] <br />Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 9:51 AM <br />To: Heather Strickland . <br />Subject: RE: [ccmanagers] Department Head Residency Requirement <br />Hi Heather, <br />Heidi asked me to respond to your email request. The only residency requirement in Durham <br />County is for the manager. Mike said that he has in the past asked department heads to move to <br />Durham County, and most have been willing. He also said that if a candidate for the job didn't <br />want to move, but otherwise was a good fit for the county, he would not make the person move. <br />Mike feels that requiring residency can limit the county's ability to recruit top candidates. <br />Hope that helps! <br />-Laura <br />Laura Jensen <br />Intern <br />Durham County Manager's Office <br />200 E.

A small number do live outside the county, but there <br />has never been an issue because of that. Although unwritten, I am certain the co <br />mgr is expected to reside in the county! <br />Richard T. Wells <br />County Manager <br />Randolph County Administration <br />P.O.
