Sal Nodjomian, former commander of the 96th Air Base Wing at Eglin, will be the newest member of the City Council.
Nodjomian was the only person to qualify to run for a vacant council seat when the candidate qualifying period ended at noon Friday.
Nodjomian will be sworn in Jan. 22, Niceville City Clerk Dan Doucet said.
Bill Smith resigned from the council to run for the Okaloosa County Commission.
Nodjomian will serve out Smith’s term, which ends July 16, Doucet said.
