Deputy city manager in charge of Olympic Village resigns
VANCOUVER - Olympic Village project manager and Vancouver deputy city manager Jody Andrews resigned Thursday from his post, city manager Penny Ballem confirmed in a short memo to council.
Andrews, who has worked with the city for 18 years as a city planner before shifting to the role of deputy city manager, was the very public face of the Olympic Village project. Charged with aiding negotiations between Fortress and Millennium, he was known as a planner who sought to keep the project stable.
He was also known to be unhappy with the politicization of the development, in the wake of a reported $100 million loan guarantee.
According to the Vancouver Sun's public-sector salaries database, Andrews was paid $176,000 a year by the city.
