City officials weigh reestablishing daylight saving time with the Board of Aldermen expected to act soon. Other cities such as Gettysburg and Salisbury have already adopted daylight time this year, starting April 25 and ending September 26. The previous ordinance was not continued, so renewal would be needed if Frederick chooses to observe daylight time again.
