He also gave information showing the carry-over items into the 87-88 budget. Mr. Deal said the $800,000 proposed for funding for schools in the event of consolidation is removed from the budget. It is not reflected in the budget at all, he said. The auditors recommen- ded that this be taken out of the budget, reduce fund balance appropriated by that amount, and adopt a special resolution reserving fund balance in the amount of $800,000. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about the fund balance --what it would be at the end of this fiscal year that is closing out, before another budget is appropriated. Mr. Furches said it would be a little less than $4 million. A lot depends on what comes in from sales and intangible taxes, he said. He said once the $800,000 is taken out and fund balance is appropriated into the 87-88 budget, there would be about $2 million.
