The fundamental reason this classification exists is to
perform supervisory and participatory recreation work directing a small staff, administering,
and leading recreation programs for the public, and providing services and
facilities for organized groups at a small recreation center. The work
responsibilities are: supervises employees and volunteers; oversees the administration of recreation
programs; manages the community center’s financial resources; and contributes
to the department objectives by performing additional duties involving
community center promotion, facility maintenance, and facility safety and
security assessments. Employees in this class typically supervise
small staffs of Recreation Leader Is, Recreation Aides, and volunteers in
activities and programs. The Community Center Director II is distinguished from
Director III in that the Community Center Director II is more involved in
leading programs (50% of time or more), is generally assigned to a smaller
facility, and is generally in charge of a smaller staff (average three
subordinates). The Director III is generally in charge of a larger facility
with a larger staff (average seven subordinates) with open gym activities and/or
