Historically, the Town of Woodbury has engaged its Park and
Recreation Commission to provide the Town Board with input and advice
in the development and adoption of policies regarding the use, operation
and maintenance of the Town's parks. The Town Board has continued
to exercise financial control and managerial oversight of the Town's
parks through its Parks Department, and Parks and Recreation Director.
The Town Board wishes to adopt this chapter to clarify the authority
of its Park and Recreation advisors, and to reassume to the Board
all rights, powers, duties and/or obligations as may have heretofore
been exercised by, or could have been exercised by, the former Park
and Recreation Commission.
The Park and Recreation Committee is hereby established as a
volunteer committee.
The Park and Recreation Committee shall:
A. Advise the Town Board on the Town's parkland and recreational
needs;
B. Advise the Town's Parks and Recreation Director as to the need
for park building maintenance, repairs and/or construction, and the
need to create new recreational facilities and equipment;
C. Advise and/or make recommendations to the Town Board and the Parks
and Recreation Director regarding capital budgets; and
D. Prepare and submit to the Town Board and the Parks and Recreation
Director, proposed amendments to adopted park rules and regulations.
The Executive Board is required to meet no less than eight times
per year. Minutes of each meeting are to be filed with the Town Clerk
for official filing within two weeks of the meeting being held. A
copy of the minutes shall also be provided to the Town's Parks
and Recreation Director.
The Committee's Executive Board shall submit an annual
report to the Town Board, Town Clerk and Parks and Recreation Director
in August of each year, outlining its activities during the past year,
including an explanation of any instituted programs, objectives, goals
and/or recommendations made to the Town Board.
