The Goleta City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with the Camino Real Marketplace to create a Public Safety Fund, which will be funded by a $625,000 donation from the Camino Real Marketplace payable over the next five years. This generous gift from Camino Real Marketplace will be used for public safety needs such as operations and equipment purchases, public education, and emergency preparedness.
“We are dedicated to keeping our community safe. By providing this funding of $625,000 over the next five years, we can help insure that Goleta has the resources it needs to continue providing these important services,” said Mark Linehan, President, Wynmark Company and owner of the Camino Real Marketplace.
“Goleta is grateful for the continued financial support by the Marketplace. Since establishing the Goleta Police Department – Marketplace Station, their on-going funding has been critical in maintaining and expanding our public safety presence. We would not be where we are today without their support,” said Mayor Michael T. Bennett.
