Portland Parks & Recreation director Adena Long was placed on administrative leave by the city this week.
City administrator Michael Jordan told parks bureau staff in a Wednesday afternoon email that Long was on leave, but did not specify what type of leave. A city spokesperson confirmed that it was administrative leave.
“I’m reaching out to let you know that Director Long is on leave, and I’m writing to let you know my plan while she is on leave,” Jordan wrote. “I recognize this news creates uncertainty during what is already a challenging time…I am asking that everyone respect Director Long’s privacy during her leave.”…
