We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

The agenda includes both old and new business items, with a primary focus on the introduction and potential approval of several legislative measures. Among the key items is Resolution 2025-06, which seeks to amend the town’s charter regarding the roles of the president and vice-president of the council. The proposed amendment clarifies that the mayor will serve as council president and outlines conditions under which the mayor may vote. It also provides for the election of a vice-president who would assume mayoral duties if the mayor is temporarily or permanently unavailable.
Also under consideration are two new ordinances: Ordinance 2025-04, which would establish FY26 sewer and water rates, and Ordinance 2025-05, covering FY26 budgets for the general, sewer, and water funds. These proposals are critical to funding town operations and maintaining infrastructure for the coming fiscal year.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The meeting will also address new business matters, including discussion of Task Order #11 for the restoration of Lions Park Pond by RK&K, and the acceptance of commission appointments and resignations. As part of the regular meeting procedures, public comments will be accepted, though remarks on non-agenda items will be limited to three minutes.
The meeting will be broadcast live on the Town of Smithsburg’s Facebook page to ensure public access and transparency.
