If the governing body of any municipality, school district, or park district determines that a public recreation system shall be established, the governing body shall by resolution or ordinance establish in such municipality, school district, or park district a recreation board or commission that shall possess all the powers and be subject to all the responsibilities of the local authorities under this chapter. The members of the recreation board or commission shall be appointed by the mayor or presiding officer of the municipality, park district, or school district that establishes the recreation system.
The recreation board or commission when established shall consist of at least five but not more than nine persons, as the governing body may determine, to be appointed by the mayor or presiding officer of the municipality, park district, or school district, with the consent of the governing body. One member of the recreation board or commission must be chosen from the legal membership of the park district board, or board of park commissioners of the area involved, one member must be chosen from the membership of the governing body of the municipality, and one member must be chosen from the legal membership of the school district board or boards involved.
The remaining members must be chosen at large from the largest geographic area represented by the municipality, park district, or school district involved. The term of office of all members of such recreation board or commission shall be for three years except that the members of such recreation board or commission first appointed shall be for staggered terms so that the terms of at least one but not more than three members expire annually. If a vacancy occurs during the term of office of any member, the mayor or presiding officer of the municipality, school district, or park district involved, with the consent of the governing body, shall appoint a successor to serve for the unexpired term.
Membership on the recreation board or commission shall be without compensation or remuneration.
