Uniform Program. The purpose of the City Uniform Program is to maximize safe working conditions, reflect good appearance and to provide ease of recognition, and/or identification for employees by the public. All City issued uniforms and all other related dressing accessories are to be kept well maintained and may not be used for recreation or off duty purposes. No employee shall affix, adorn or otherwise alter any department provided uniform by adding patches, emblems, pins, etc., unless such items and/or alterations are legally protected as Union rights, or issued, authorized, or provided by the department. Employees are prohibited from wearing their City issued shirts or uniforms at bars, night clubs or any other places that would bring discredit to the City. In exercising legally protected Union rights, the Union acknowledges that the City has a legitimate business interest in maintaining a professional image for its public employees, and a cornerstone of this image is its requirement that all employees dress in professional attire and project a positive image to the public. Before implementation of the Uniform Program, the Union and the City shall form a committee to include the City Manager and two (2) Union members to identify appropriate uniform options. Upon consensus within the committee, the committee shall present the proposed uniforms to the membership for a final vote of approval. Should the members reject the proposed uniforms the committee shall reconvene to explore alternative uniforms. Employees are liable for issued uniform items that have been lost, stolen or damaged beyond economic repair, except if the damag e is due to the nature of the job. If a uniform has been damaged as a result of the nature of the job or extenuating circumstances, employees are required to report and request a replacement form their direct supervisors.
