Voters on Tuesday returned two incumbents and a familiar face to the Riverview City Council while also bringing back an incumbent member of the Riverview Commmunity School District Board of Education.

With a reported 19 percent of 9,215 registered voters turning out, unofficial totals showed James Trombley the top council vote-getter with 1,035, followed by fellow incumbent Andrew Swift (1,034) and former Councilwoman Betty Priskorn (1,010).

Kathleen Bosman returns to the school board for a four-year term after receiving 735 votes, while Amy Reeder 697 was elected to a two-year board term by just seven votes margin ahead of David Boike (690).

More than half the votes —54 percent — were cast by absentee ballot, a fact emphasized by the quiet of some precincts, especially early in the afternoon.

Voters approved renewal of Wayne County Proposition O by a 68 percent margin.
