Sharon,
Thanks for the offer to "search and scan," but it's not necessary.
Responses on the listserv and off have been kind of interesting. There
aren't a lot of policies coming forward and those that have come forward
have very general "do" lists using words like "professional" or
"business casual" attire without any definitions or examples to clarify
just what that means. A few policies list some "don'ts," which is
helpful.
I spent some years working for a national department store chain, and
our dress code was very, very specific. I'm surprised that there seems
to be so little information about municipal/library/research room dress
codes out there -- especially given the litigious and grievance-prone
nature of our society.
Still, the information I have received thus far is proving helpful. I
will share with the listserv what I collected in a day or two.
Paul

Paul,
The City of Lakewood did develop a dress code policy a few years ago,
but I just tried to find it in our admin reg's and it's not listed,
which tells me (something I'd already observed) that it's not being
enforced in particular. Each dept director is responsible for his/her
department's people and the policy did allow for different tasks and
different types of dress. In general, in City Hall, we have a business
casual requirement M-Th and what I
call a "business jeans casual" on Fridays. If I'm going to a council
meeting on a Monday, I dress better than usual (cuz I'll be on
TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!). If you're interested in the policy we developed but no
one can find or remember, I'm pretty sure I've got a copy in the
archives and could scan it and send it to you.
