City of Glendale Reopens Application Period for Blue Ribbon Pension Review Committee 

The Glendale City Council in March moved to form a Blue Ribbon Pension Review Committee. This Committee will be tasked with gaining an understanding of the overall pension system structure, discovering future anticipated costs, and ultimately advising the City Council on options and priorities for addressing pension costs and reducing the unfunded actuarial liability.

The Pension Review Committee will be comprised of 15 individuals, 10 of who will be appointed by City Council through an application process. The remaining five members will be appointed by the city manager.

Members selected to serve in this capacity should possess relevant education and experience in such fields as finance, law or accounting in order to competently and responsibly engage in the review and recommendation process. Those interested in serving on the Blue Ribbon Pension Review Committee will need to submit an application to myglendale@glendaleca.gov by 5 p.m. on Monday, July 5. All applications received by this deadline will be shared with the City Council for their review and selection of candidates.
