City and County of Denver v. State green
colo · 1990
2 sentences

1992The Panel argues that because the residency rule has withstood a constitutional challenge and because our supreme court has recognized that the beneficent policies and purposes of the rule are to provide for the further betterment of a municipality, see Denver v. State, 788 P.2d 764 (Colo.1990), any violation of the rule should result in a presumption of harm to employer’s interests.

1992In determining whether the state regulatory scheme preempts the Greeley *1067 ordinances, we draw upon the preemption analysis used by this court in Denver v. State, 788 P.2d 764 , where we considered four factors in resolving whether the state’s interest in prohibiting a municipality from adopting a residency requirement for municipal employment was sufficient to justify preemption of an inconsistent home-rule residency requirement as a condition of municipal employment.
