It is with great sadness that the Board of the Directors of the Saddle Creek Community Services District must report that General Manager, Charlie Martin, unexpectedly passed away last week.

After almost 10 years as a police officer and 14 years as the Police Chief, Charlie served the city of Los Banos for another 10 years as both City Manager and Director of Public Safety. In April 2003, he joined the Saddle Creek CSD as General Manager, responsible for the day-to-day operations of the District and assisting with it’s long-term planning. Charlie’s knowledge and experience was invaluable to our District and he helped to establish a strong foundation for the growth of Saddle Creek.

The Staff and Board of the Saddle Creek CSD extends its deepest sympathies to Charlie’s family. He was a good friend to many of us at Saddle Creek and he will be missed.
