Although the 1987 amendment to Trenton's ordinance requiring all municipal officers and employees to be Trenton residents, which added a provision for waiver of the residency requirement, is invalid, this amendment is severable from the preexisting residency ordinance. Accordingly, Police Director Santiago, who is no longer a Trenton resident, must vacate the position. However, to assure an orderly transition of responsibilities to his successor, Director Santiago will be allowed to remain in the position for an additional seventy-five days.
