  • Ferndale to hold meetings on library before bond vote

    FERNDALE - City residents will have at least three opportunities in the coming weeks to ask questions and comment on a bond measure for a new library.

    Ferndale voters will decide on April 23 whether the city should issue a $550,000 bond to fully fund construction of a $5.4 million library building near City Hall. If 60 percent of voters approve, the city would establish a property tax to repay the bond. The owner of a $250,000 home would pay $11.86 a year.

    City Council is considering a resolution Monday, April 1, to show support for the ballot measure. The public is invited to comment on the resolution at the meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. at the Community Resource Center, 5694 Second Ave.

  • Lummi tribe, Ferndale resume talks on Slater Road retail

    FERNDALE - Officials from the city and Lummi Nation are back at the table, negotiating a complicated agreement over retail development on land the tribe owns in the south end of the city.

    Talks stalled after the Lummis rejected a sales-tax sharing agreement passed by the Ferndale City Council on May 15. They were revived after the Lummis gave the city a counterproposal May 31.

    The City Council on Monday, June 3, asked Mayor Gary Jensen and city Administrator Greg Young to resume talks that had been ongoing for about a year. The tribe and the city met on Thursday, June 6, Young said.

  • Ferndale switches insurers to save $100,000 annually

    FERNDALE - The city will save about $100,000 a year starting in 2014 after changing risk-management insurance providers. The City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday, Jan. 22, to make the switch.

    Property damage and lawsuit claims will be covered beginning next year by the Washington Cities Insurance Authority, which is charging about $100,000 less than Ferndale's current insurance service, the Risk Management Service Agency run by the Association of Washington Cities.

    Council member Jon Mutchler, who credits Mayor Gary Jensen for taking the initiative to look for the cost savings, said the insurance switch will come with no reduction in service.

  • Lummis move to get trust land status worries local governments

    FERNDALE - Whatcom County and the city of Ferndale have written letters to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs opposing Lummi Nation's move to get trust land designation for an 80-acre site south of Slater Road and west of Interstate 5.

    The land had been mentioned as a possible site for both a new county jail and a new Costco store before the tribe acquired it from Ralph Black and family for a reported $5.4 million in late 2011. Ten of the 80 acres are inside the Ferndale city limits, while the remainder is within Bellingham's legally designated urban growth area. That means it is earmarked for eventual Bellingham annexation.

    Tribal trust designation would move the parcel out of city, county and state jurisdiction and take it off property tax rolls.
