Interim Director Announced

Goleta’s former Public Works Director Charlie Ebeling has taken on the role of Public Works Director for the City of Ventura. After almost six years of service his last day with Goleta was Friday, March 29. Assistant Public Works Director Nina Buelna is the interim Director for Goleta.

We wish Charlie well and thank him for his leadership and dedication. During his time with the City he helped deliver significant projects that will have a lasting positive impact on our community.

Among these projects were the rehabilitation of Old Town Sidewalks, obtaining grants from the Office of Traffic Safety for Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program, repairing Cathedral Oaks Road settlement, infilling sidewalks on Fairview Avenue and the US 101, and most recently, the groundbreaking for Project Connect, the City’s largest capital improvement project to date.

Charlie has over 15 years of experience as a Public Works Director and more than 27 years of engineering experience in the private and public sectors.

We know he will bring all of this great knowledge and experience to the City of Ventura and do great things!  Best of luck Charlie!
