About Us
The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is to advise and make recommendations to the City Council on matters relating to the operation of the McCreary Community Building, Perkins Park, Wiese Park, Pattee Park and such other parks, playgrounds, and community recreational facilities as may be designated by the Council. The Board shall plan, develop and oversee City programs for the leisure time activities of the City’s residents of all ages.
The Board is composed of five members and at least three of those members must be residents of the City of Perry. The Mayor, with approval of the Council, shall appoint members of the Board. The Board members are appointed for staggered terms of three years, from March 1 following the year of such appointment or until the appointment of a successor to serve for the remaining term. Vacancies occurring in the Board, other than expiration of terms of office, shall be only for the unexpired portion of the term of the member replaced. Three members of the Board shall serve as a quorum. Members shall serve without compensation, but may be reimbursed for actual expenses, including travel expenses, incurred in performing any duty described in this chapter, subject to Council approval. The Board shall elect officers and adopt its own rules of order as it applies to meeting procedure.
The Board shall work in harmony in an advisory position to the Council to develop a master plan of activities and shall assist when necessary in the preparation of the budget and make recommendations for expenditures. The Board shall review and make recommendations for operations of the City’s park system, recreational activities, the McCreary Community Building and other related functions.
The Board shall have the power to establish, adopt, amend, modify or repeal rules and regulations, not inconsistent with this Code of Ordinances and the law, for the care, use, government and management of the Recreation Department, Parks Department, McCreary Community Center and the business of the Board, fixing and enforcing penalties for violations.
