The powers and duties of the Bureau are detailed in Title 5, section 1541 of the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated. ORGANIZATION: The Bureau of Accounts and Control was created in 1931 as an organizational unit of the Department of Administrative and Financial Services. The Bureau was renamed to be the Office of the State Controller during the second special session of the 121st Legislature. The Office is under the direction of the State Controller who is appointed for an indefinite period by the Commissioner of Administrative and Financial Services, subject to the approval of the Governor. PROGRAM: The Office is an administrative agency responsible for maintaining and reporting all state financial transactions. Staff analyzes fiscal transactions and payrolls to ensure legality and correctness. In addition, the Office of the State Controller provides internal audit support for the agencies that comprise state government. Official financial records for all state agencies and programs 2 DEPARTMENTOFADMINISTRATIVEANDFINANCIALSERVICES are administered by the Office staff. The Office's Financial Reporting Unit prepares and publishes the state's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The CAFR includes both blended and discretely presented Component Units. The State Auditor audits the CAFR that is delivered to a wide audience. The CAFR for fiscal year 2013 received the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for the seventh straight year. The Advantage System is the State's enterprise resource planning (ERP) system which is a hosted application under a long-term managed services agreement. Office staff work closely with the application vendor, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) application support team and state agencies to maintain and enhance Advantage. The Advantage System includes fund accounting, budget and appropriation control, general ledger and financial reporting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cost accounting, fixed assets management, procurement management and vendor management. A data warehouse for all production systems is provided for statewide budget, accounting, human resources and payroll data. Queries to the warehouse can provide ad hoc or regular management reports, valuable data sorts, or specific data required in the course of completing fiscal work. The accounting production system is used to process more than 2 million payables and 400,000 accounting transactions annually. All payments above $5,000 are reviewed and approved by Office staff. The Human Resource production system keeps current personnel, payroll and position control information. This system issues over 338,000 payroll payments annually, with about 99% via direct deposit (electronic) and the balance via paper checks. The Office's Payroll Unit audits agency payroll input and initiates statewide payroll weekly. Other system functionality key to the work of the Payroll Unit includes tax withholding data and W-2 production. The most recent enhancement to the HR system is the introduction of MS-TAMS (Maine State Time and Attendance System). Currently, MS-TAMS is used by more than 9,700 employees.

Executive Summary Introduction The development of the Augusta State Facilities Master Plan is a direct result of a successful collaborative effort between the Maine State Government and the City of Augusta.

  • 5. the Master Plan
    Augusta State Facilities Master Plan 5. The Master Plan The summation of the work of the MPC over its twelve months of deliberations is the Augusta State Facilities Master Plan. A synthesis of the positive attributes of the five concept plans that came before it, the Master Plan represents a considerably simplified and focused plan when compared to some of the initial efforts. This is as it should be, as the MPC acquired knowledge and confidence as it deliberated over several weeks and assimilated a wealth of information. The committee never lost sight of the initial thirteen goals of the process, and in the end was satisfied that the Master Plan represented the culmination of the process. The following paragraphs describe the major elements of the plan. The plan recognizes that the State currently owns sufficient land and building resources to make the further acquisition of property unnecessary in the foreseeable future. It also recognizes that the need for leased space will be lessened but not eliminated. While one goal of the plan is to make the highest and best use of East and West Campus resources, it also seeks to play an important role in the revitalization of Downtown Augusta by recommending that 300 State employees be located in leased space on Water Street. Prepared by SMRT, Inc. 5.1 Augusta State Facilities Master Plan Further strengthening of Augusta’s downtown fabric is recommended through the identification of a future new building site near the present MDOT Building on Capital Street, thus bringing a substantial number of State employees from outlying locations to within walking distance of downtown.

  • Ordnance Department
    ORDNANOE DEPARTMENT. The Ordnance Department was first established by the Act of 14 May., 1812, and consistetl of a Commissary General of Ordnance, with the rank, &c., of a Colonel of infantry; an Assistant Commissary General of Ordnance, with the rank, &c., of a Major of infantry and three additional rations; four Deputy Commissaries of Ord­ nance, with rimk, &c., of Captain of infantry and two additional rations; and as Ulany assistant deputies, with rank of Second Lieutenant pf infantry and one ad­ ditional ration, as might be required by the exigencies of the service. At that time there were no regular arsenals in existence, the depositories of arms &c., being little less than temporary depots, and they few in number. The two national armories (Springfield and Harper's Ferry) were in operation, however, under the supervision of a civil superintendent for each. The requiremeuts of the service in 1813 necessitated an increase of officers in the Ordnance Department, and by the Act of 2 August of that year, five Deputy Commis­ saries ofOrdnance were arlded. In placing the military establishment on a peace footing, at the close of the War of 1812 and 1814, it was deemed expedient to retain the Ordnance Department and per­ petuate it under an organization similar in outline to the Department which had been devised in 1812. Accordingly, by the Act of 8 February, 1815, the national armories and the arsenals of the country were placed under the can trol of a" Colonel of Ord­ nance," under the immediate direction ofthe Secretary of War, and the following n um­ ber ofsubordinate officers and enlisted men were authoriztjd, viz: 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 2 lIajors, 10 Captains, 10 First Lieutenants, 10 Second Lieutenants, and 10 Third Lieu­ tenants, and as many enlisted men as the service of the Ordnance Department might demand.
