City Charter Amendment Requiring Supermajority City Council Vote to Approve Certain Annexations

Oviedo city, Florida
My vote power: High

What does this measure do?

Adding land to Oviedo from Seminole County's protected Rural Area, as mapped on July 4, 2026, would need yes votes from at least 4 of the 5 City Council members. This makes it harder for the city to take in rural land, and the city says it has no cost.
