Mayor Green is the perennial back room inside manipulator, Ask any employee who has been at the City for any length of time and they will tell you in confidence that they fear the Mayor, and with good reason …. just ask Tom Cinefro.
That the Mayor is concerned that some other member of Council may have intervened regarding some department matter is nothing more than the kettle calling the pot black !!
Never one to pass up a free kick he goes on to imply the Fire Department is “falling apart”.
The truth of the matter is that POFD is not falling apart, BUT rather Pozzo’s efforts to improve the department were ignored by Kisela because they did not interest the Mayor.
Port Orange fire chief resigns as latest staff departure

PORT ORANGE — Fire Chief Joe Pozzo announced his resignation today, following the steps of two other city officials and as the city manager eyes another job opportunity.
Pozzo, who was hired in Nov. 2013, will leave the city on July 18, according to a letter he wrote to city officials this morning. Pozzo’s resignation comes a day after City Manager Greg Kisela confirmed he was in contract negotiations with officials in the panhandle city of Destin to serve as manager there. It also follows the resignations of the city’s public utilities director and purchasing manager after an error led to $411,510 in unauthorized water meter purchases.
A committee of city department leaders helped select Pozzo from four semi-finalists last fall. Pozzo, a former Volusia County Fire Chief, came to Port Orange after working as a consultant with the International City-County Managers Association, where he advised fire departments across the country.
Port Orange Mayor Allen Green said Pozzo’s departure is a blow to the city and a result of divisions between council members, citizens and department heads.
“The council is trying to run every department and has overstepped its boundaries,” Green said “If you are a department head and your department is falling apart, why would you want to be associated with that?”
Before Pozzo, the city had not had a fire chief since 2011. Green said Pozzo was an impressive leader who helped improve public safety.
“He’s done an outstanding job,” Green said. “He’s been everything we asked for.”
The Fire Department is not falling apart, the :Police Department is not falling apart, the Water department is not falling park, Parks and Rec is not falling apart.. The problems that exist were caused by Mayor Green’s back door hiring of Kisela who was not up to doing the job and then brought along his tag along MIT’s who also couldn’t do the job.
Yes, there absolutely are problems that need fixing in Port Orange but they can be fixed. The only problem that we can’t fix at this time is how to rid ourselves of Allen Green who is a snake with venomous fangs.
I do not have much good to say about Mayor Green and that is why I like to see only credible information posted about Green. The city council as a whole voted for Kisela and I would like to know what back door maneuvering there was by Green, if any. I myself had thought all candidates looked good to me, and if I had to vote for which one to become city manager, I would have had a hard choice to make. So if it is true that Mayor Green did some back door maneuvering to get Kisela the job, please let me know what it was. I would love to add such a fact to my arsenal.
Sooooo you are saying there should be a recall or ouster of Green ?
Sounds good to me.
Absolutely but the probability of this happening right now is nil. Ass kisser Kennedy won’t vote him out and fence sitter Don hasn’t got the common sense to see what is right and good for the city and citizens of Port Orange. We need to straighten this mess out and it won’t happen as long as Green is Mayor.
Don would love to be mayor. HELLO?? HE would take a stand if he made the last decision.
If the Council doesn’t have the sense to do it, the citizens need to keep applying the pressure on Mr Green Jeans. He will eventually break, he seems about ready to stroke out this week. What’s he got a full two years left ?
Check the mayor out and his progeny.

The fire department is not falling apart the fire department was ripped apart by Alan Green, Bob Pohlmann, Dennis Kennedy and Ken Parker. They werent happy about contract negotiations so they took it out on the fire department by reducing manpower, the FD budget, FD services. All the turmoil they have created has caused the retirement of all of the fire departments experienced members and the council dismantled the entire fire administration. Pay cuts and additiinal workload slowly destroyed moral to the point that a department with almost zero turnover now has high turnover. The city council has done harm to the city over the years and now the residents are paying for it since we can no longer attract and retain talented individuals. Port Orange is now a stepping stone until a good job comes along. Congratulations Alan Green, Bob Pohlman, Dennis Kennedy and Ken Parker…you have successfully destroyed a once great city.
Spot on Rod!
Mary Martin too – she was a useless POS when on the council.
Had higher political aspirations that went nowhere.
It was that past council that set all of this in motion. It takes time to destroy a city and their collective incompetence brought us to this point. It sad to see our city end up like this hopefully we get a resignation from the person actually responsible, Alan Green!
This kind of reminds me of mayor Allen Green going from being a kindly of man at the council meeting and transforming into a snake right before your eyes when activists are their to challenge his bullshit.

This is a depiction of Allen Green trying to mesmerize the new council members such as Drew Bastian and trying to tern them into his lackeys like Dennis Kennedy and Bob Pohllman but ultimately failing because of the emergence and prevalence of the new paradigm.

The best thing that could happen for the city of Port Orange is to immediately eject mayor Allen Green out of city politics. He is the problem that is causing the city to implode. He is the last vestige of corruption that needs to leave in order for a new paradigm to emerge. Lets show him the exit door now.
