1900.3110 REGIONAL ARTS COUNCIL LOSS OF DESIGNATION.

Subpart 1.

Existing councils.

The regional arts council at the time that parts 1900.0110 to 1900.4110 are adopted shall be the regional arts council for its region.

Subp. 2.

Council designation removed; conditions.

There can only be one regional arts council in each region. A council shall remain the regional arts council until its designation is officially removed. The following circumstances shall result in the removal of designation:

A.

At any time, a council may determine that it is not in its organization's or its region's best interest for it to continue as the regional arts council. The council must notify the board of its intent to cease operation as a council and work cooperatively with the board to provide for an orderly transition when a new organization receives the regional arts council designation.

B.

The Regional Arts Council/Minnesota State Arts Board Fiscal Agent Agreement shall define the terms for a council's receipt of its block allocation. It shall also define the process of notification which the board must follow if it believes that a council is out of compliance with the agreement and the process which must be followed to remedy concerns or to rescind a council's designation. If the council successfully remedies concerns, it shall remain the regional arts council. If it does not successfully remedy, the board shall remove the council as the regional arts council.

C.

Removal of designation initiated by the board due to an unsuccessful probationary period, as described in part 1900.3210, subpart 7.

D.

If, after following part 1900.3210, a competing organization is awarded the designation by the board, the challenged council must receive written notification that its designation has been removed by a vote of the board. This notification must contain a timeline for transfer of all appropriate records, a description of the closure process to be followed, and a request for return or transfer of all unexpended legislative funds.
