classification exists is to perform supervisory and participatory recreation
work directing a large staff, administering recreation and/or athletic programs
for the public, and providing services and facilities for organized groups at a
large recreation center and gym facility.

implementation of programs at the recreation center. The work responsibilities are supervising
employees and volunteers; overseeing and assisting staff in the administration
of recreation and/or athletic programs; manages the community center’s
financial resources; and contributes to the department objectives. Employees
in this class typically supervise Recreation Leader IIs and Is, Recreation
Aides, and volunteers. The Community
Center Director III is distinguished from the Community Center II in that the
Director III conducts selected activities at a larger facility and supervises a
larger staff (including coaches) with programs/activities designed for organized
athletics programs as well as open gym activities. The Director II is
distinguished from the Director III in that the Director II is more involved in
leading non-athletic programs and is generally assigned to a smaller facility
with a smaller staff. Community Center Director IIIs report to the Recreation
Area Supervisor.
