The Town Charter directs that the Mayor is administrative head of Leonardtown, and the Town Administrator answers directly to the Mayor. Authority, therefore, is based on the Mayor's directive to his Administrator. "Mrs. McKay is the office manager (with absolute authority), and I have confidence that Mrs. McKay will enforce the consensus of Council, with due diligence and a sense of decorum."

A ribbon cutting was held April 11, 2018 to celebrate the completion of the State mandated upgrade to an Enhanced Nutrient Removal process at the Leonardtown Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The project construction was awarded to MEB Contractors, a Chesapeake, VA based company.  The engineering firm for the project wwas GHD, Inc. from Bowie, MD.  Funding for the $22 million project was provided by The Commissioners of Leonardtown, St. Mary's Metropolitan Commission, The State of Maryland through the Bay Restoration Fund, and The Water Quality Financing Administration.
