Sec. 77.
(1) A metropolitan arts council's articles shall specify the maximum amount or percentage of revenues received under this act that the council may authorize to be expended annually for administrative costs incurred under this act. The articles may authorize a local arts council within the metropolitan council area to administer this act or portions of this act. Additionally, the articles shall authorize that council to provide funding, supplemental to funding received from other sources, for cultural facilities and programs located within the metropolitan district that the council serves. However, a metropolitan arts council shall not expend money collected under section 69 unless the specific expenditure is included in the council's annual budget, expressly authorized in the council's articles, or unless the expenditure is approved by an affirmative vote of a majority of the council's delegates.
(2) A metropolitan arts council may establish divisions, bureaus, and committees, including advisory committees. Members of advisory committees shall serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses as determined by the council.
