Responsibilities
The Parks and Recreation Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council and City staff. Its primary duty is to interpret to the City the leisure-time activities, facilities, and services needed by the citizens of Signal Hill. The Commission also recommends general policies concerning all parks and recreation properties, facilities, plans, programs, and activities, and may recommend a long-range program for the improvement, acquisition, and development of parks and recreation facilities for the extension of services.
