Another senior manager at Vancouver city hall has resigned. James Ridge, the deputy city manager at the City of Vancouver stepped down on Tuesday to become an associate vice-president at UBC.

Ridge is the fifth senior manager at city hall to leave following the election of Mayor Gregor Robertson and a slate of Vision Vancouver party members to council last November.

Ridge was reportedly only on the job for a little over two years and only recently took on additional responsibilities as the city's chief information officer.

His new job at UBC starts on June 8.

The first high-profile departure was Estelle Lo, the city's director of finance, who resigned in November due to a "personal matter," following revelations about financing problems with the Olympic Village development in the midst of the civic election.

Lo was followed shortly by her former boss, veteran city manager Judy Roger, who was paid $572,000 severance when she left in December, after Robertson said he wanted a fresh start at the top of city hall.

Other high-level resignations have included Ray Holdgate, the fire chief, Dave Rudberg, the general manager of Olympic and Paralympic operations, and Jody Andrews, the Olympic Village project manager.
