There is hereby authorized an agreement between the Girard School District,
the Borough of Lake City, the Borough of Girard and the Township of Girard
to establish a cooperative recreational program incorporating the following:
A. The municipalities will establish, maintain and support
a Recreational Board to serve the said municipalities.
B. The Board will be composed of two members appointed by
Girard Borough, two appointed by Lake City Borough, two appointed by Girard
School District and two appointed by Girard Township. A ninth member will
be selected at the discretion of the Board for a one-year term. The Board
will be known as "the Elk Creek Recreation and Leisure Board."
C. No later than October 1 of each year, the Board shall
submit to each municipality a revenue budget indicating the proposed contribution
of each municipality for the succeeding fiscal year. Additionally, the Board
shall propose a capital program or revision to the long-term government expenditures
for capital improvements. Such budget shall set forth a proposed contribution
for each of the municipalities; provided, however, that such budget shall
not be binding upon the municipalities until approved by the governing boards
of the municipalities and incorporated in the official budgets of said municipalities.
D. The agreement shall become effective upon final authorization
by all municipalities and shall be automatically self-renewed from year to
year thereafter; provided, however, that any participating municipality may
withdraw from the term of the agreement by giving written notice of such withdrawal
one year before the proposed termination date. Upon the termination of this
agreement by the mutual consent of all the municipalities, any assets of the
Board shall be distributed to the municipalities in proportion to the cumulative
contributions of the municipalities from the date of the formation of the
Board to the time of dissolution.
E. All personnel hired by the Board shall be employees of
the Board, and not of the individual municipalities. Any purchases by the
Board will be paid for by said Recreation Board, utilizing the Recreation
Boards' Sales Tax Exempt number.
The President of Council and Secretary of the borough are hereby authorized
to execute on behalf of the Borough of Lake City an agreement embodying the
foregoing provisions.
