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.
