Dress For Your Day Dress For Your Day policy allows for non -uniformed employees to use their best judgment when deciding what to wear to work every day, with some basic guidelines. The idea is each employee should consider what their workday looks like and dress accordingly. For example, employees are allowed to wear casual clothing on workdays when they do not have meetings with residents or other outside third parties. Employees are still expected to wear clothing appropriate for an office environment, and traditional business attire is always acceptable. There may be days when residents or visitors are expected at City facilities and all staff may be required to forgo Dress For Your Day and be required to wear business causal or business attire. These days will be announced in advance so employees can plan accordingly. In all instances, clothing and appearance must be neat, clean, not ripped, not heavily frayed or worn, and not expose an excessive amount of skin. Employees are allowed to wear jeans clean and free of rips, tears, fraying and not excessively tight or revealing. The following are examples of clothing and shoe choices that are never acceptable, but it is not an exhaustive list. When in doubt, consult with Administration. • Clothing and/or accessories including offensive/inappropriate images or words, including images/words that are discriminatory or sexual • Sweatpants, yoga pants and other exercise apparel • Leggings unless combined with a top that reaches at least mid -thigh • Beach wear • Overalls • Very short skirts • Shirts with writing or large logos (unless city or affiliated business organization logo) • Spaghetti -strap tops or dresses unless covered by a jacket or sweater • Crop tops, tank tops, halter tops or any clothing showing midriffs • Sheer or revealing clothing • Sports jerseys (unless part of a planned employee event) • Flip-flops, house slippers, moccasins, Crocs shoes Upcoming Meeting Frequency As part of the August worksession, the City Council also discussed trying to hold worksessions prior to regular City Council meetings and eliminating the worksession on the third Monday of the month. This will also be brought forward for Council approval at the second meeting in September. Staff is anticipating this will happen in October and November; however, Council should also decide what it wants to do with December. We typically cancel that second meeting in December, so it may beneficial to keep the third Monday in December as a worksession. Come November, Council will want to give direction on how meeting schedules should occur for 2024. Budget Impact N/A Attachment N/A Page 2 of 2
