Trafalgar Park Board

The Trafalgar Park Board is appointed by the Town Council and plays a vital role in shaping the community’s parks and recreational spaces. The Board consists of four members who must be residents of the Town and are selected based on their interest in and knowledge of parks and recreation. No more than two members may be affiliated with the same political party unless the Town Council grants a waiver, as allowed under IND. CODE § 36-10-3-4.1. Initial Board members served staggered terms of one, two, three, and four years, after which all members are appointed to four-year terms, with terms expiring on the first Monday in January; members continue in office until their successors are appointed, in accordance with IND. CODE § 36-10-3-4(f). At its first regular meeting each year, the Board elects a President, Vice President, and Secretary. Members work together to enhance public spaces, oversee park improvements, and support recreational programming for residents of all ages. The Board meets at least quarterly, follows the Indiana Open Door Law (IND. CODE § 5-14-1.5-1 et seq.), and requires a majority of members present to take official action.
