Answer:

The governor, lieutenant governor and eight other top statewide elected officials.

The other officials are the secretary of state, attorney general, auditor, treasurer, superintendent of public instruction and commissioners of agriculture, insurance and labor.

Typically, the council meets monthly to approve land purchases, condemnations and right-of-way easements, but it also sometimes deals with weightier issues.

In February of 2007, the Council of State was asked to approve an execution protocol that would involve doctors. It voted 7-3 in favor.
