Parks & Recreation Board
The city’s recreation governing board, its legal structure and the evidence that actually belongs to the board inside a much messier shared source bucket.

Legal structure
The Recreation Board is its own governing body.
North Vernon municipal code creates a five-member Recreation Board for control and management of the city’s public parks.

Governance
Council-appointed, resident-only, and separate from the Council itself.
The local code gives this board a structure that is easy to lose when the page is reduced to folder counts.
City Council appoints
The City Council appoints the members. The code also says no member may simultaneously serve on the municipal legislative body.
Four-year terms · no compensation
New appointments are for four years, and the code states Recreation Board members receive no compensation for board service.
Source drawer
A large shared collection, not a clean board-only corpus.
The 549-item bucket contains substantial Park Board material but also department, golf and unrelated/misrouted records. This page no longer pretends otherwise.

Read the count carefully: 549 is the size of the captured Parks and Recreation bucket, not the number of Park Board minutes, agendas or board actions.
