A Recreation Board is hereby established with power and authority
to provide, improve, equip, operate, maintain and regulate parks,
playgrounds, swimming pools and other recreation places within the
Borough limits or in adjacent townships.
[Amended 12-16-1968 by Ord. No. 383]
Such Board shall consist of seven members, all to be appointed
by the Borough Council for terms of five years upon recommendation
of the Recreation Board. Five of the members so appointed shall be
chosen at large. One shall represent the Borough Council and one the
Girard School District.
The members of the Board shall serve without pay. They shall
elect their own Chairman and Secretary and select all other necessary
officers and employ such persons as may be required for their purposes.
The location and establishment of recreation places and the
number and salaries of employes shall be subject, however, to approval
of Council. All expenses incurred in connection with acquisition,
equipment and operation of such recreation places shall be payable
from the Borough Treasury on order of the Council.
