Eagle River residents came out strongly in favor of putting term limits in place.
74 percent of Eagle River voters were in favor of an ordinance to create term limits for the mayor and those serving on the city council.
The proposal limits those offices to no more than four consecutive two-year terms.
They would then need to sit out six years before running again for that office.
508 Eagle River voters were in favor, with 177 opposed.
The exact language of the Eagle River term limit referendum is below.
