Topeka Deputy Mayor Spencer Duncan’s mother, Kathleen Duncan, questions his assertion that the city should do away with its residency rule requiring city employees to live in Shawnee County, he acknowledged at Tuesday evening’s city council meeting. Spencer Duncan wants to repeal that requirement, but input from his mother has left him willing to “look at every variable” as the city considers how to go about doing that, he said. So when fellow Councilman Neil Dobler suggested making the requirement’s proposed repeal temporary, Spencer Duncan said he’d be willing to arrange for the repeal to expire on Dec. 31, 2027, unless the mayor and council voted to extend it beyond then.
