REXBURG — A bond to build a new Rexburg Police Department failed Tuesday by just a few votes, and two new Rexburg City Council members, along with one incumbent, have won the election.

The Rexburg Police Department’s nearly $17 million bond has failed, with 62.60% of voters supporting the bond. To pass, the bond required a 66.67% supermajority of voters to support it.
