Sec. 5A-3. Arts and Humanities Council; Establishment and recognition.

A designation under this Chapter expires at the end of the fifth full fiscal year after the effective date of the resolution making the designation, unless the County Council extends the designation by another resolution.

At least one year before a designation under subsection (a), the Office of Legislative Oversight must evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Arts and Humanities Council. The evaluation should include a survey of stakeholders, including artists, arts and humanities organizations, grantees, and members of the public.

The County Council at any time may suspend or revoke the designation of a corporation as the County’s Arts and Humanities Council by resolution, adopted after at least 15 days public notice, that is approved by the Executive, or, if the Executive disapproves the resolution within 10 days after receiving it, is readopted by a vote of at least 7 Councilmembers.
