Friends of the Falls have been thrilled to work with Spokane’s new Mayor, Mary Verner on moving the Gorge Plan and its agenda items forward.
Most recently, we were honored to learn that Interim Parks Director Roger Crum will begin attending FOF monthly Board meetings on behalf of the Mayor and the department.
Mr. Crum is expected to continue his position through the selection process of the City’s new Parks & Recreation Director. The applications deadline for the position closed on Friday, January 18, and a selection committee is now being formed to interview the candidates. Mr. Crum has not applied for the position.
Friends of the Falls has maintained a good working relationship with the Parks Department and the Parks Board over the years. Thanks to the Mayor and Mr. Crum for helping set the stage for even more effective collaboration in the future.
