Well, yea, I charge $165/hr for random folks on the internet, but for locals I charge more like $60/hr. 20-30 mins/month tweaking or answering questions is a fairly realistic average for the local single-page sites.
I look at the local sites as a bit of local pride/civic duty - if I didn't do it then they'd either have crappier, more expensive sites or else no websites at all.
(I also have a full-time salaried position now that effectively pays about $60/hr. So I don't really have to worry about income at this point.)
My town is only about 2000 people, and most of them dont need a website. I figure I'd be getting the same questions either way, so I might as well get paid a bit ;)
