Petitions to recall the three Riviera Beach city council members, who voted to fire the city manager, are now in the hand of the supervisor of election's office.

A citizens group said they collected around 9,000 signatures, which is 2,800 per council member and 400 more than they needed.
On Tuesday, they handed those petitions over to the city clerk's office, where they were counted.
On Wednesday, the city brought them to the Supervisor of Election's office.
The language on each petition is slightly different, but they all focus on possible Sunshine Law violations and improper motivation for the firing of city manager Jonathan Evans.
It will take time for the Supervisor of Election's office to verify the signatures.
If the supervisor validates at least 2,200 signatures for each council member, the council members get a chance to challenge the petition.
