Shall the Oviedo City Charter be amended to change the term of office for City Councilmembers from two years to four years, beginning with the 2028 election, and provide for a three year term for City Councilmembers elected in the 2027 regular election, to transition to an election cycle that coincides with the even-year Presidential and Gubernatorial elections?
