Green has worked at the council since March, when he joined as manager of the mayor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

In June, he was appointed to the board of council-controlled organisation Bay Venues as a council staff representative.<\/p>\n

Last month he received a Long Service Award from local government professionals network Taituar\u0101, marking his 25 years in the sector.<\/p>\n

Green was chief executive of New Plymouth District Council for three years before resigning in December to take up the Tauranga role.<\/p>\n

Before that, he spent six years as Taup\u014d District Council<\/a>\u2019s chief executive and 11 years as its group manager of operational services.<\/p>\n

Grenfell, who held the Tauranga chief executive role for eight years, had faced public calls to resign following an August review that found January\u2019s fatal Mount Maunganui landslide tragedy was \u201cpreventable\u201d.<\/p>\n

The external review found systemic issues in the council organisation, and did not find that any individual\u2019s acts or omissions caused the six deaths.<\/p>\n

Neither Grenfell nor the council have commented on why he quit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Green has worked at the council since March, when he joined as manager of the mayor\u2019s office.
