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.

At the public hearing, council will consider Resolution 25-001, which would raise the competitive bidding threshold for town purchases and contracts from $10,000 to $20,000, and Resolution 25-002, which would allow the council to exempt members from conflict-of-interest provisions by disinterested vote. An accompanying Ordinance 25-002 proposes repealing the town’s existing Code of Ethics and Financial Disclosure in its entirety. If adopted, these measures could speed up smaller procurements but may also reduce local oversight requirements.
The regular meeting agenda includes an informational update from the Maryland Department of Transportation on the MD 34/65 resurfacing project, presentation of the 2025 Citizenship Award, and routine approvals of minutes from the June 2 budget hearing and regular meeting, plus the June financial report.

Under new business, council will revisit two earlier resolutions: 24-08 to authorize MDOT’s work on MD 34/65 and 24-09 to allocate American Rescue Plan Act funds for installation of new water meters and a meter‐reading system. They will also introduce proposed adjustments to water and sewer rates, which—if approved—will affect monthly utility bills for all town residents. Community members are encouraged to review these proposals in advance, available during business hours at town hall or online at sharpsburgmd.com.
Residents wishing to speak may register for up to three minutes of public comment at the start of the meeting. Attendance and participation in this session offer a direct way to influence how Sharpsburg manages taxpayer dollars, ethics standards, and utility costs going forward.
