(a) The Delaware State Arts Council is hereby established for the purpose of promotion and encouragement of the arts and shall provide guidance to the Director on matters of arts policy and shall consider such other matters as may be referred to it by the Governor, by the Secretary of the Department or by the Director. The Council may study, research, plan and advise the Director, the Secretary and the Governor on matters it deems appropriate to enable the Division to function in the best possible manner.
(b) The Delaware State Arts Council shall be composed of Delaware citizens broadly representative of all fields of the performing and fine arts known for their interest in these areas appointed by the Governor. Each such citizen shall serve as a member of the Delaware State Arts Council for the period of the unexpired term unless the member vacates the position by resignation, death or incapacity. The Council shall be composed of not more than 15 members. When the number of members has been reduced to less than 15 by reason of the expiration of terms, resignation, death or incapacity, the Governor shall appoint new members. The terms of newly appointed members will be staggered so that no more than 1/3 will expire annually. All new appointees shall serve for a term of 3 years and no member shall serve more than 2 consecutive terms.
(c) The Governor may appoint members for terms of less than 3 years to ensure that the Board members’ terms expire on a staggered basis.
(d) Members of the Council and Chairperson shall serve without compensation, except that they may be reimbursed for reasonable and necessary expenses incident to their duties related to the Council.
(e) A Chairperson of the Council shall be designated in addition to the members of the Council by the Governor and shall serve in that capacity at the pleasure of the Governor.
(f) Any appointment, pursuant to this section, to replace a member whose position becomes vacant prior to the expiration of a member’s term shall be filled only for the remainder of that term.
