Oh, THAT guy. We call him "The Lawnmower Man". I guess a club could appoint someone to make those decisions, but in our club they are brought up as business subjects to discuss at meetings. We contract a willing member to mow, and we have club work days where volunteers show up and we weed eat, fertilize seed, etc. Grass height is subjective, guys who fly smaller planes want shorter grass. Flight stations and their positions are taken care of in AMA guidelines. Field layout is kind of dictated by geography and prevailing winds. Everything should be voted on; I think if one person is given authority to make these kinds of decisions there is too much opportunity for dissent and dissatisfaction from the club as a whole if things get done that even a few dislike. If these things are decided as a group, and a majority of the voters says "do it this way", then no one has as much reason to complain because the choice was made by one person with no input from anybody else..

Of course there are those who won't be happy whatever the group wants, and they seem to be the same ones who don't show up for meetings and make their own wants known. My comment to them is show up or shut up.
