Top issues during term (9)(General)
Racial impact assessment of city policies
Cost still to be determined through competitive bidding; a budget amendment will be needed.
license plate reading cameras
Not stated at this meeting.
Community Input Over Government Surveillance Ordinance
The city says the ordinance itself has no budget impact, though it sets the framework for future surveillance contracts.
surveillance camera policy
Ending the Flock contract likely saves Ferndale ongoing subscription costs, though it may give up a policing tool that was paid for through the city budget.
surveillance technology contract
Dropping the contract could save Ferndale licensing fees, but the city may face transition or removal costs—so the net budget effect isn’t clear yet.
State of the City address
The speech itself costs nothing, but the priorities it lays out are the roadmap for where your tax dollars go this year — so it's worth knowing what made the list.
interim city manager appointment
The interim appointment may help avoid costly disruptions from a leadership vacuum, though salary terms and search costs are not specified.
balloon ban ordinance
The city likely faces minimal enforcement costs, while party planners and balloon sellers may pay more for alternatives or lose sales.
ballot proposals
There’s no dollar figure in the source, so the financial impact is unclear until the proposal details are released.
