GOODE will introduce PHILLY FIRST Civil Service Legislation

Charter change would give bona fide 1 year residents a “tie breaker” over others

City Councilman At-Large W. Wilson Goode, Jr. will introduce PHILLY FIRST Civil Service Legislation at City Council’s March 27 stated meeting.

The proposed amendment to the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter relating to civil service regulations provides that, when eligible lists for appointments and promotions are established, those persons who have maintained a bona fide residence in Philadelphia for at least one year prior to the date of the examination shall prevail over all others who receive the identical test score.
