Only 21.75 percent of the registered voters bothered to cast ballots on Tuesday, surpassing the city's previous election low of 28 percent set in 1993.

A $10.25 million park and recreation bond failed 2,939-4,292. Voters nixed a $3.25 million bond for fire, police, public safety and administration offices 3,284-3,948 and a $2.5 million street and flood control measure failed 3,232-4,010.

Zive was returned for a second term with a 5,225-1,727 victory over his 18-year-old challenger, Joshua Murchison.
