WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor Ch. 6

(c) Immediately after appointment, the members of the Authority shall enter
upon their duties. The Authority shall elect one of its members as chairman and
another as vice-chairman, and it shall also elect a secretary-treasurer, who may or may
not be a member of the Authority. Seven members of the Authority constitute a
quorum. Action shall be by majority vote, each member, including ex officio members,
being entitled to one vote. No vacancy in the Authority impairs the right of a quorum to
exercise all of the rights and perform all of the duties of the Authority. The members of
the Authority shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred in the performance of their
duties in accordance with the Standard STATE Travel Regulations. Members other
than ex officio may be paid such per diem compensation for their services, not
exceeding $1, 000 each year, as the Authority may establish. However, the
reimbursement shall be made and the compensation shall be paid solely from funds
provided under the authority of this subtitle.

Article 48 - Inspections

111.

Whenever complaint is made to the commissioner of police or to the inspector, or
other persons in charge of the police force of any city or town in this State, that the
scaffolding used in the construction, altering, repairing or painting of any building
within the limits of such city or town is unsafe and dangerous to the life and limb of any
person, it shall be the duty of such police commissioner, inspector of police, or other
persons in charge of the police force to immediately detail a competent police officer to
inspect such scaffolding forthwith, with instructions to prohibit the further use of such
scaffolding, and, if after proper examination he [find] FINDS the complaint well
founded, to require that it be altered or reconstructed in such manner as to render it no
longer dangerous to life or limb. It shall be the duty of the officer making the
examination to attach a notice to such scaffolding, stating that he has made such
examination, and that he has found it safe or unsafe, as the case may be. If he declares
it to be unsafe he shall at once, in writing, notify the person or persons responsible for
its erection of the fact, and warn them against using it, or permitting or suffering any
person or persons to use it, and such notice may be served upon the responsible person
or persons, or by conspicuously affixing it to the scaffold declared to be unsafe; after
such notice is served or affixed, it shall be the duty of the persons responsible therefor
to immediately remove such scaffolding, or to alter or strengthen it in such a manner as
to render it safe, in the discretion of the officer who has condemned it or of his
superiors.
