The Constitution requires the Board to meet on the first Wednesday of January, April, July and October in Annapolis and more often when necessary. The Board exercises such powers and duties as are prescribed in the Constitution or delegated to it from time to time by the General Assembly. The Board supervises the expenditures of all sums appropriated through State loans authorized by the General Assembly. The Board also super- vises the expenditures of all general and other funds appropriated for capital improvements except those appropriated for State roads, bridges, and highways; and it approves the contracts for such ex- penditures after review by the Director of Budget and Procurement or Department of Public Improvements, as the case may be. The Board approves every new lease or renewal for land, buildings, or office space before such contracts are executed by any department, board, commission, State officer, or institution of the State. It may also designate the location of any State agency, after review by the Director of Budget and Procurement. The Board may borrow upon the credit of the State, at any time between the sessions of the General Assembly, sums not to exceed $50,000, to meet temporary deficits in the Treasury; and in addition, it may borrow upon the credit of the State total amounts not ex- ceeding $1,000,000 in anticipation of taxes levied for any year. All such loans shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Board, and shall mature and be repaid at or before the end of the fiscal year in which the money is borrowed. Upon recommendation of the Comptroller the Board may adopt regulations covering matters of business administration in the various departments, institutions, and agencies of the State, including the fixing of uniform rates of mileage allowance and the terms and renewals of all bonds furnished by State officials and employees. The sale, lease, or transfer of any real property belonging to any State agency or institution must be approved, and the conveyance signed, by the Board and the highest official of the agency or institution. Where no agency or institution claims the property, the Board executes the conveyance. The Board of Public Works has custody of the Emergency Appropriation Funds, which are used to supplement the budgets of the agencies and institutions of the State. It also authorizes the disposal of the records of any agency or institution of the State when such disposal has been ap- proved by the Hall of Records Commission (Const 1851, Art.
