The purpose of this chapter is to establish
a recreation authority, pursuant to §§ 7-130a through
7-130w, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes, to sponsor,
administer, and conduct recreational programs and activities for the
benefit of the Towns of Haddam and Killingworth jointly.
There is hereby established a joint municipal
authority to be known as the "Haddam-Killingworth Recreation Authority"
(hereinafter referred to as the "Authority").
The Commission shall elect, from among its members,
a Chairman and a Vice Chairman and shall also elect a Secretary, a
Treasurer, and such other officers as it may deem necessary or appropriate,
who need not be members of the Commission. The Commission shall adopt
bylaws, not inconsistent with this chapter or state statutes, governing
the conduct of its meetings and business.
Following adoption by the Town Meetings of both
Towns or by the Town Meeting last to adopt the same, this chapter
shall become effective 15 days after publication thereof in a newspaper
or newspapers having a circulation in each Town.
