Can anyone help me decide what an appropriate fee would be for a monthly webmaster service agreement. This agreement would involve only basic updates to current content (text and images), along with hosting and email administration. Any new pages or feature additions would be charged at my normal rate of $45/hour.

Haven't worked under a monthy service agreement before and want to make sure I don't regret it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes, someone can...your customers.

Basically, work out a deal that you're both satisfied with. This really depends on the customer and complexity of the work. And the only way you'll learn is...well, to do it.

As long as you are getting reliable service and good support from the webmaster, it justifies the cost listed. Usually, you would be paying somebody a salary to manage your hosting and email. I would try the service for a few months and see how it goes.
