The district’s board of trustees approved Sinks’ appointment May 8; he’s set to be sworn in on Tuesday, May 16, at what will be his first board meeting.
As the provisional appointee, Sinks will fill the remainder of Rocklin’s term, which ends after the November 2024 election is certified.

He is the immediate past president of the Cupertino Rotary Club and served as chair of the Bay Area Quality Management District in 2020 and as president of the Cities Association of Santa Clara County in 2018.
