The Board of Directors for the Dublin San Ramon Services District selected Dinesh Govindarao to fill a vacant seat on the Board.
Govindarao will represent Division 1, which includes a large portion of San Ramon’s Dougherty Valley.
The Division 1 seat became vacant when former Director Marisol Rubio resigned as of December 13, following her election to the San Ramon City Council. The Board interviewed two qualifying candidates during Tuesday night’s meeting before voting to fill the vacancy.
The appointment went into effect immediately, as new Director Govindarao was sworn in as a Boardmember for the remainder of the meeting. He will serve the second half of the remaining four-year term through December 2024. The next election for the Division 1 seat will be in November 2024.
“My big passion is serving the community and giving back,” Govindarao told the Board. “I’m really excited about this opportunity.”
