§ 10907 Recreation Powers Delegation

• •Public agencies (except schools) can give the chapter’s powers to an existing board, officer, or employee.
• •They can also create a new board of recreation commissioners to do the work.
• •School districts can appoint one or more of their trustees, officers, or employees to sit on that recreation board.

A town wants to manage its community pool and playgrounds. The town council chooses the existing parks director to run the recreation program, and creates a board of recreation commissioners to help. The local school district sends a teacher to sit on that board.

Because the law says the town can pick an existing employee or set up a recreation board, the parks director can handle the duties, and the school can have a voice by sending the teacher onto the board.
