Budget presented to council this week reflects a deficit of $956,000 for fiscal year 2013-14 and $2 million for 2014-15.
Ferndale officials are hoping to avoid laying off firefighters as the city moves forward with budgeting for fiscal years 2013-14 and 2014-15. The city prepared a budget using an expected decline in taxable values of one percent, but final numbers from the county released March 20 show a total revenue decline of six percent in taxable value. City staff also updated projections for fiscal year 2014-15 to reflect a three percent loss rather than the potential for an increase. Because of the changes, the budget presented to council this week had a deficit of $956,000 for fiscal year 2014 and $2 million for 2015. The Ferndale Fire Department could be one of the areas affected, as a grant has paid for four of the city's firefighters for the past…

Had been a dedicated millage to our first responders we might not be having this discussion about lay offs in that department but we still could have a $1 million budget deficit right now and that in my opinion if …   more ›
An unusually high water bill could mean your water usage was previously underestimated, or you could have a leak, says Ferndale DPW Director Loyd Cureton.
Some Ferndale residents say they're seeing higher than usual water bills lately after the city installed new readers on most water meters around town. But while bills may have gone up in some cases, city officials say water meters are working properly and an unusually high bill could mean a leak or that your bill was previously underestimated. The city has almost completed installation of new readers on all water meters—with more than 98 percent of households now having a new reader, said Ferndale Department of Public Works director Loyd Cureton. In August last year, Ferndale City Council unanimously approved a contract with Elster Water to replace the automatic water meter reading system with a stronger system as it was discovered that …
