  • If a public recreation board or commission shall be established, it shall discharge its functions through a public recreation department, as provided in Section 33-106 of this title, shall make annual reports, shall adopt rules and regulations and establish general policies for the conduct of its business and for the operation of public recreational activities and services.  It shall make an annual report to the governing body or bodies and such special reports as may be requested in writing by the governing body or any of the governing bodies; provided that a copy of all reports shall be furnished to each governing body if there be more than one. The public recreation board or commission, in order to carry out the provisions of this subarticle, shall recommend a superintendent of recreation, not of its own membership or of the membership of the governing body or bodies, who is trained in public recreation and who shall be responsible for formulating the recreational program and community organization for recreation and who shall be the administrative head of the public recreation department.  The superintendent shall be secretary of the public recreation board or commission, but shall have no vote.  The superintendent shall:

    2.  Recommend appointment of trained personnel within the budgetary limits of the department;

    3.  Be in charge of all employees, and make all contracts and expenditures subject to the policies, rules and regulations of the board or commission;
