well here in planet mars
thats the same way it goes. the imam is appointed, he leads the 5 main prayers, he leads the janazah prayers, taraweeh sometimes the qiyam prayers etc. and guides the community. in some he is listened to in other cases he is told to shut up or is fired.
other jobs for the imam is teaching and being an active part of madrassa, and madrassas are generally with masjids.
i dunno what a khawami madrassa pass is but the imams appointed generally must be Hafizs and qualified in islamic studies one way or another
