Company Profile
City of Appleton
Company Overview
The very foundation of the City of Appleton is built on its mission of “serving community needs and
enhancing the quality of life” for its citizens and the visitors we welcome. The city works hand-in-hand
with members of the community on many levels, from businesses who rely on our infrastructure in order
to thrive, to residents who count on our many services for their safety and well being, to visitors who
spend more than $355 million in our community annually.
Appleton operates under a Mayoral/Council form of government. The Mayor serves a four-year term
and the 16 Common Council members are elected at large every two years. The Mayor oversees 16
Department Directors who manage more than 650 full- and part-time employees, as well as 1,200+ seasonal employees each year.
The City has built global partnerships with our Sister Cities in Kurgan, Russia; Kanonji, Japan; and Chinandega, Nicaragua. We are proud to share our knowledge and resources with these communities and their residents.
