97.120 Appointment of recreational commission -- Members -- Terms -- Removal -- Vacancies -- Rules and regulations -- Revenues -- Fees. (1) In cities of the first and second class the city recreational committee shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than seven (7) members, the exact number to be at
the discretion of the city legislative body. In cities of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
class the city recreational committee shall consist of three (3) members. In cities of
any class the city recreational committee shall be appointed by the mayor, with the
approval of a majority of the members of the legislative body of the city, for terms
of four (4) years, except that the members first appointed shall be so appointed that
the terms of the members will expire in different years. The members shall serve
without compensation. The members shall be legal voters of the city. If any member
during the term of his office becomes a candidate for, or is elected or appointed to
any public office, he shall automatically vacate his membership on the commission
and another person shall be appointed in his place; but this provision shall not
prevent a member of the commission from serving as a member of any other
appointive commission of the city, county, state or federal government. (2) Any member of the commission may be removed by the vote of three-fourths (3/4) of the elected members of the city legislative body. Vacancies shall be filled in the
same manner as in the original appointment. The city may require each
commissioner to execute a bond in the penal sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000).
If the commissioners are required to execute bonds, the bonds shall be approved by
the legislative body of the city, and the cost thereof may either be paid by the city or
by the commission out of its revenue. (3) The commission shall provide rules and regulations for the management of the recreational project or projects, and out of the revenue derived from the project or
projects it shall pay all operating expenses, provide for necessary repairs and
additions, provide a sufficient reserve fund to insure the buildings and
improvements against fire and tornado, provide a fund for payment of any
incidental or emergency expenses that may arise, and set up a fund to provide for
the payment of any debts created in connection with the establishment and
maintenance of the project or projects. (4) The commission may levy and collect fees for the use of or admission to the project or projects and expend or invest the income from the fees for the purposes set forth
in this section. History: Amended 1948 Ky. Acts ch. 86, sec. 1. -- Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 2741p-14.
