Nevada State Department of Administration
Administrative History
The Nevada State Department of Administration was created by the Statutes of 1963, incorporating the functions of four state offices: the State Department of Buildings and Grounds had taken over from the State Board of Control in 1949; the Department of Purchasing had been created in 1951; the Advisory Personnel Commission (1953) and the Budget Division.
Through the years further changes were instituted in the composition of the Department of Administration. In 1979 the Risk Management and the Hearings divisions were included. In 1984 Buildings and Grounds as well as Purchasing were placed under the Department of General Services; in 1986 Personnel became a department on its own right. By 1990 the Department of Administration consisted of the Budget Division, the Risk Management Division, and Hearing Division.
In addition to the records listed below, the Department transferred the records of the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Company, now known as the Marlette Water Company, to the Nevada State Archives. The company records were acquired when the State of Nevada acquired the Company in 1963.
