The Executive Secretary serves as the chief administrator for the Board of Public Works. All actions of the Board of Public Works are taken at public meetings, which generally occur every two weeks. The Secretary prepares the meeting schedule and, when appropriate, schedules the appearances of persons wishing to testify. Before each meeting, the Office prepares the Secretary's Agenda (one of three Agendas the Board reviews; the other two are the Department of Transportation Agenda and the Department of General Services Agenda). The Office also prepares and distributes an Agenda (listed along with meeting schedules) that lists and categorizes all the items presented to the Board at each meeting. After each meeting, the Agenda Summary is updated to reflect the action that the Board took on each item (see Agenda Summary Archives). The Office prepares, distributes, and maintains, the minutes of each meeting. The Office maintains the debarment and suspension list.
