There is hereby created a Recreation and Park Advisory Board known as
the "Recreation and Park Advisory Board of Caln Township."
The Board shall be composed of seven members to be appointed by the
Commissioners of the Township of Caln; members who are first appointed shall
serve for terms of one, two, three, four and five years, respectively, from
the date of their appointment as shall be specified at the time of their appointment.
Thereafter, the term of office shall be five years or until their successors
are appointed. Vacancies in such Board occurring otherwise than by expiration
of term shall be for the unexpired term and shall be filled in the same manner

other officers as it may deem necessary for the orderly procedure of its business
and shall adopt bylaws, rules and regulations covering its procedure.
The said Board shall hold regular meetings and shall designate the time
and place thereof, and shall keep a record of all proceedings. Four members
shall constitute a quorum. A vacancy in the Board shall occur when any member
shall fail to be present at four consecutive regular meetings or 25% of such
meetings in any fiscal year, unless such absence shall be excused by the Board
and the reason therefor entered in the proceedings.
The said Board will serve as in an advisory capacity to the Board of
Commissioners, who shall retain final decision-making authority on recreation
and park matters.
The said Board shall, during the month of September of each and every
year, propose an annual operating budget governing expenditures for materials
and supplies and all other matters connected with the operation of the recreation
and park program.
Funds appropriated by the Caln Township Commissioners and budgeted for
recreation and parks shall be disbursed by the Township Fiscal Officer, upon
recommendations made by the Board, approved by the Township Manager and within
the budget appropriations made.
