Welcome to Ferndale!

A message from Mayor Raylon Leaks May: The local results of yesterday’s election are in, and the Headlee Override General Operating Proposals—Proposals 1 and 2—have been voted down. Obviously, this was not the result that City Council and I hoped for. The five of us supported and championed these proposals, which were developed to provide critical funding and ongoing support for City services and facilities. We are, however, grateful for the incredible voter turnout: 11,655 of you showed up and spoke out, and we acknowledge and honor the community’s voice on such important issues.

The General Election is on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Voters will choose their candidate for President, US Senate, US House, and many other positions. There will also be two local proposals on the ballot regarding the Headlee millages. Please view the information carefully to ensure your vote is cast.

The City of Ferndale has been awarded an incredible $380,000 in funding from the Oakland Livingston Human Services Agency (OLSHA) to assist seniors and low-income residents with home chores such as lawncare and snow removal.
