GET INVOLVED
Boards & Commissions
Boards and commissions provide opportunities for citizens of different talents and backgrounds—residents, business owners, entrepreneurs, and beyond—to work together and make our community a stronger, more vibrant place.
Boards And Commissions
Do you have ideas for strengthening our city? Would you like to get involved in planning, development, and decision-making? Consider applying for a City board or commission!
Potential applicants are encouraged to attend at least one meeting of the board/commission they are interested in before applying. Please note that Sec 2-210 of the City's code prohibits individuals from serving on multiple boards or commissions, unless explicitly permitted by another ordinance. If you are currently appointed to a board or commission and would like to instead serve on a different board or commission, please contact the City Clerk's Office and do not use the application on this page.
If you have questions about the application process, please reach out to the City Clerk’s Office. If you have questions about a specific board or commission, please reach out to the staff liaison indicated in the Ferndale Boards and Commissions Manual.
