Amendment 3 property tax impact on Oviedo

Staff laid out four ways to cover a $9.2 million shortfall: full expenditure cuts (about 84 employees laid off), a millage increase to about 8.867 mils, a fire assessment fee, or a blend. Councilmembers stressed nothing is decided yet and the city isn't telling residents how to vote.
