The Reno City Council has appointed their newest member to Ward 3.

Miguel Martinez was sworn-in on Wednesday to fill the position left vacant by Oscar Delgado who resigned last month.

Martinez was among three other finalists – he’s lived in Reno for 30 years.

In his application for the council seat, he said that as a father and a homeowner, he wants to keep Reno a great place to raise a family, help businesses expand and improve the infrastructure.

Martinez says he has experience in administration -- working with non-profits and has worked hard to make a difference in people's lives.
