Excerpt: City directors, public library workers and other nonunion staff will see their take-home pay stay flat next year.
The salary freeze, approved 14-0 by the Common Council on Wednesday, is prompted by a budget crunch Appleton is facing in 2011.
The pay freeze affects 187 people, nearly one-third of the city's work force.
It cuts $350,000 to $400,000 from payroll and could help the city seek labor concessions with the bargaining groups representing some 400 police officers, firefighters, public works employees, parks and recreation workers, and other union members.
