Oviedo council approves May minutes after debate over adding objection to mayor's comment
During the July 2025 meeting, the Oviedo City Council voted to approve the minutes for the May 19, 2025 regular session and the May 27, 2025 work session after a short exchange about whether to append an objection to a mayoral remark in the May 19 minutes.

One council member proposed a friendly amendment to add language that she had objected to the mayor suggesting the city attorney "may be sued for slander." The motioner on the original approval asked whether the mover would be willing to amend; the motioner said "No," and the amendment was not adopted. A second council member withdrew their earlier second after the amendment was declined, and another councilmember seconded the original motion.

"I do think it is fair if there's going to be an accusation listed in the minutes that an objection to the accusation is also included in the minutes," a councilmember said during debate. After discussion the council approved the minutes on a roll-call vote: Mary Sladek "aye," Councilmember Butterford "aye," Deputy Mayor Tucart "aye," Councilmember Britton "aye," Councilmember Ott "aye." The mayor announced the motion carried.

The council did not change the May 19 minutes to add the requested objection; the record will reflect the original minutes were approved as presented.
