Background/Summary: 

There are three (3) 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 is a combination of community members appointed by the Mayor and/or City Council and employees elected by their peers. The approved appointed members and elected members are called trustees. Fire and Police trustees serve four (4) years term, and General Employees Pension Board trustees 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. The City advertised in the newspaper, social media, and the City’s website. By submission of the attached Advisory Board Application, Ms. Brown is requesting re-appointment to another three-year term. The Pension Administrator verified that Ms. Brown had met all requirements of board certification. Additionally, the Mayor has met with Ms. Brown and approves the re-appointment to the General Employees Pension Board.

 

The General Pension Board meets on the fourth Monday of the month at 5:30 p.m. in the Human Resources Conference Room located at the Port Center.  As a result of the pandemic, the Board meets virtually.
