There are three active pension boards for the City of Riviera Beach:  Firefighters’ Pension Plan, General Employees’ Pension Plan, and Police Officers’ Pension Plan.  Each pension plan has a board to oversee the administration of the plan.  The board consists of seven members as follows, the Mayor and/or the City Council appoint community members to serve as trustee board members for a term of three (3) or four (4) years, depending upon the board. The City employee trustees are elected from among each sector of eligible members of the plan to serve a three (3) or four (4) year term.  The General Employees’ board members serve a three (3) year term.   

The Mayor and City Council each have two appointments to the General Employees’ Pension Board.  The Mayor’s appointment requires the approval of the City Council. The board members serve until a successor is appointed.  

Currently, there is an expired trustee seat on the General Pension Board. The board seat expired on November 30, 2019.
