BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
MARVIN MANDEL, Governor
Louis L. GOLDSTEIN, Comptroller of the Treasury
WILLIAM S. JAMES, Treasurer

EDWARD L. MIDDLETON, Administrator
State Treasury Building, Annapolis 21401 Telephone: 269-3443
The Board of Public Works is composed of the Governor, the State Comptroller, and
the State Treasurer. The Constitution requires the Board to meet on the first Wednesday
of January, April, July and October in Annapolis and more often when necessary. As a
matter of practice, meetings are scheduled semi-monthly. The Board exercises such pow-
ers and duties as are prescribed in the Constitution or delegated to it from time to time
by the General Assembly. The Board approves the expenditures of all sums appropriated
through State loans authorized by the General Assembly as well as the expenditures of
all general and other funds appropriated for capital improvements except those appro-
priated for State roads, bridges, and highways. 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 des-
ignate the location of any State agency, after review by the Secretary, Department of
Budget and Fiscal Planning.
The Board may borrow upon the credit of the State, at any time between the ses-
sions 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 exceeding $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 ad-
ministration 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 prop-
erty belonging to any State agency or institution must be approved, and the convey-
ance 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 General Emergency Fund which is used to supple-
ment 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 approved by the Hall of Records Commission. The Board of Public Works must
also issue a license to anyone who seeks to dredge or fill on State wetlands.
The Board of Public Works is required to adopt and promulgate rules, regulations
and procedures for the administration of the State Public School Construction Program
and to approve the allocations which are to be paid to each of the counties and Balti-
more City.
The Board is also required to appoint a coordinator whose duties are to provide for
the consolidation of administrative procedures relating to the issuance of permits for cer-
tain development and construction projects (Const. 1867, Art III, sec. 34; Art. XII,
sees. 1-3; Art. XVII, sec. 2; Code 1957, 1976 Repl. Vol., Art. 15A, sees. II, 12; 1973
Repl. Vol., 1975 Supp., Art. 23, sec. 206; 1973 Repl. Vol., 1975 Supp., Art 27, sec.
