There were at least three:

The speed at which the returns were in. According to my timepiece, we knew by 7:30 PM which seemed so quick I wondered if the numbers were accurate or complete.

The nearly 2 to 1 margin was certainly noteworthy as an endorsement of Mayor Tomzak's leadership on the council over the last four years.

Finally there was the disappointingly low voter turnout. Only a 26% turnout on what was a beautiful day for a trip to the polls. A bit over 2,000 votes were cast and it makes one wonder how seriously the electorate took all the pre-election rhetoric about the city's future course. Maybe the ones who didn't bother were so overwhelmed by the flood of roadside signs that it felt as if the election was there in the fescue and not at the polls. With all the signs and the low turn out maybe some of the sign posters didn't even bother to vote.

A postscript: There were a handful of write-ins and I'm willing to bet that most of them were for a "3 toed tree sloth".
