may employ such persons as may be needed, subject to the approval of the Board
of Township Commissioners.
It shall be the duty of the Recreation Board to submit an annual report
to the Board of Township Commissioners, including an analysis of the community
recreation areas, facilities and leadership, with particular reference to
the extent and adequacy of the program and its effectiveness in view of the
public expenditure involved and the public needs to be met.
