Editing Edmonston, Maryland (section)

==Government==
The Edmonston municipal government consists of four members of council and a mayor who, beginning in May 2008, are elected to three-year terms. Elected positions are essentially volunteer and are paid a small stipend for expenses. The structure of the government is a mostly "strong" mayor system, meaning that the mayor has administrative control over government operations and presents their budget each year for adoption. However, the appointment of department heads must meet the council's approval. Edmonston's mayor sits as president of the council, though can only vote to break a tie on the council.<ref>See Town of Edmonston, Maryland, Town Charter (2010)</ref>
