Commissioner Funderburke moved that the Board take action either by amending the budget or revising it to provide $27, 500. 00 from the Emergency and Contingency Fund to the Parks and Recreation Comm- ission which with their $16, 500.00 carry over would provide the local share for the work fixing the pool at Horton Park.

Mrs. Fields presented an allocation of the 1978-79 budget as pre- pared by the Lee County School Board. After discussion, Commissioner Funder- burke moved that the Board incorporate the allocation of the Board of Education in its budget for 1978-79 and that the allocation be attached to these minutes. Comm- issioner Rhyne seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mrs. Fields reported that $13, 661.10 had been transferred from the Revaluation Reserve to the Tax Supervisor's account to pay a bill in connection with the Revaluation Program.
