Ogden residents overwhelmingly re-elected Mayor Mike Caldwell.
The dysfunctional West Jordan City Council lost one incumbent.
And South Salt Lake residents opposed a tax hike to create new parks.
These are but a few of the unofficial election results in municipal races throughout the state.
Ogden • In the only city with a mayor's race outside of the highly watched contest in Salt Lake City (where Jackie Biskupski has a nearly 5 percentage-point lead on Mayor Ralph Becker), Caldwell's bid for a second term was not nearly as tight a race. He claimed 80 percent of the votes, according to unofficial results released shortly after the polls closed. He defeated Sebastian Benitez.
West Jordan • The council in this bedroom community has battled itself all year, and it appears that at least one incumbent lost at the polls, according to unofficial results.
Councilwoman Judy Hansen received 48 percent to Dirk Burton's 52 percent.
Sophie Rice ended the night with a 3 percentage-point lead and Chris McConnehey was even more comfortable with an 8-point advantage.
The one lopsided race was the one without an incumbent. Zach Jacob claimed 62 percent of the votes over Tim McConnehey in early returns for District 3's race.
South Salt Lake • It may have been about buying Granite High, it may not. The bond election for parks here was rather vague. The City Council gave options but didn't specify what the $13 million raised would pay for beyond open space and parks. The voters rejected it. Early results show it going down 52 percent to 48 percent.
Herriman • Voters strongly rejected a plan to create a new $7 monthly fee on Herriman households that would be used to buy up the hillside from private land holders.
The plan would have annually raised $84 per family over the next 20 years to ensure that homes don't dot the land. It had the backing of nearby Camp Williams.
Voters had other ideas. Roughly 55 percent voted against the plan.
South Jordan • The only incumbent city councilman on the ballot went down in defeat and still has a defamation lawsuit to contend with.
Chuck Newton lost big to challenger Brad Marlor. Newton accused a one-time challenger, Andrew Petersen, of trying to bribe him to drop out of the race; in turn, Petersen has filed a lawsuit against Newton, saying the claims put him in a false light.
Newton claimed just 32 percent of the vote Tuesday.
The official canvass will take place on Nov. 17. These are unofficial results from Tuesday's municipal elections in Salt Lake County. Key to abbreviations • X-unofficial winner, (I)-incumbent, Inc-incomplete results.
