Ridgely commissioners approve resolution backing state effort to modernize municipal revenue
Summary
The Commissioners passed Resolution No. 2026-01 April 6 supporting legislation referenced as HB1142/SB to create a task force on modernizing county and municipal revenue; the vote and mover/second were recorded as passed in the minutes (tally not specified).
At their April 6 meeting the Commissioners of Ridgely voted to adopt Resolution No. 2026-01 expressing the town’s support for a Maryland Municipal League-backed effort to modernize municipal revenue sources and for legislation referenced in the minutes as HB1142/SB.
Commissioner Chad Leister moved to approve the resolution and President Brad Sears approved the motion; the minutes record that the resolution passed but do not include a roll-call vote tally or names of a seconder. The motion directs the town to support the formation of a task force to study municipal and county revenue modernization at the state level.
The minutes do not specify implementation steps beyond the town’s formal expression of support. The resolution’s adoption adds Ridgely to the list of municipalities endorsing the concept; the town did not attach further funding or instruction to its vote at the April 6 meeting.
Next steps: the town’s action is a formal endorsement; any state-level effects will depend on subsequent legislative activity and the task force process.
