Spokane Mayor David Condon issued the following statement about the decision by Human Resources Director Heather Lowe to leave the city. Lowe’s last official day with the city will be Aug. 19. The statement is as follows:

“Heather Lowe has been a passionate advocate for city employees and the services they provide. The city, with her leadership in human resources, has worked with its labor groups to make government more innovative, improved training and, in partnership with Civil Service, advanced new recruitment initiatives to grow diversity as we lay the groundwork for a 21st Century workforce. I very much appreciate Heather’s dedication and contributions. Her recruitment by another city speaks highly of the work she has done for Spokane.”
