(A) The Albuquerque Arts Board is hereby established. It shall consist of eleven members. There shall be one member of the Albuquerque Arts Board from each City Council District and two members appointed by the Mayor who serve at large. When a vacancy on the Albuquerque Arts Board occurs, the Councilor representing the District in which the vacating member of the Albuquerque Arts Board resides, shall nominate two members to the Albuquerque Arts Board who reside in his or her respective Council District and the Mayor shall appoint one of these recommended members; provided, however, if a member is eligible for reappointment to the Arts Board and the Councilor in whose District that member resides desires to reappoint the member, the Councilor shall so notify the Council and the member shall be reappointed subject to the advice and consent of the Council. If a member is not being reappointed, the Mayor shall deliver to the Council the Mayor's recommendation from the two names submitted within 30 days of delivery of the two names to the Mayor. If the Mayor fails to timely make a recommendation from the two names submitted, the Councilor may appoint one of the two recommended members subject to the advice and consent of the Council. The Mayor shall appoint the two at large members to the Albuquerque Arts Board with the advice and consent of the Council. The term of each member shall be three years. The terms of the members shall be staggered so that three members are eligible for reappointment or replacement each year.
(B) The Mayor may notify a Councilor in writing that his or her District member's term has expired or the position is otherwise vacant and the Councilor shall have 60 days to submit two recommended appointments to fill that position. If the Councilor fails to submit two names within 60 days of notification, the Mayor shall have the right to make the appointment subject to the advice and consent of the City Council.
(C) Except as provided in this article, the qualifications, appointment and conduct of the members of the Board and any of its subcommittees and the organizational structure of the Board and its subcommittees shall be governed by §§ 2-6-1-1 et seq.
(D) Members of the Board shall be broadly representative of all fields of the visual arts and fine crafts. They shall include persons who are widely known for their professional competence and experience in the arts and knowledgeable lay persons.
(E) Conflict of Interest. This division (E) supplements § 2-6-1-4. A Board or a subcommittee member having a financial interest in the outcome of any policy, decision, or determination before the Board or subcommittee on which he serves shall, as soon as possible after such interest becomes apparent, disclose to each of the other members voting on the matter the nature of his financial interest in the issue, and shall be disqualified from participating in any debate, decision or vote relating thereto.
