WHAT'S AT STAKE
Four City Council seats and the mayor's position. Winners will serve four-year terms. Council members receive an annual salary of $27,316, while the mayor gets $113,644.
WHO'S RUNNING
MAYOR: Rick Baker, Ed Helm
DISTRICT 2: John Bryan, Eve Joy
DISTRICT 4: Virginia Littrell,
Leslie Curran
DISTRICT 6: Earnest Williams,
Darden Rice
DISTRICT 8: Jeff Danner, Jamie Mayo
TURNOUT
Difficult to predict but likely to be dismal. Despite good weather and two hotly contested races, just 13 percent of District 6 voters and 8 percent of District 4 voters participated in the Sept. 27 primary. In 2001, Baker's first mayoral campaign, turnout was 34 percent.
