Human resources director Jacque Russell, the longest-tenured department head for Topeka’s city government, is leaving city employment. Russell has resigned effective Dec. 1, city communications director Gretchen Spiker said Wednesday. Russell joined the city in July 2007 as its classification and compensation manager before being promoted to human resources director in April 2008, Spiker said. The city over the coming weeks will identify an employee to serve as interim human resources director, then conduct a nationwide search to fill the position permanently, Spiker said.
