Funds to acquire this bus have been approved. Dr. Martin is to review with the Board the matter of a driver and of operational casts.) Dr. Charles Martin, Director of Council on the Aging stated that the. Council was requesting transportation money in the amount of $2,100.00 to be applied toward a bus driver's salary. However, this amount would be requested under Title XX. Discussion ensued concerning a commitment by the Board for Matching Funds for the purchase of a bus. Doctor Martin advised the Board that the Council now needed $1,672.00 as local match for.the bus. Further discussion ensued. Upon motion of Commissioner Whitted, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted that $1,672.00 be approved to the Council on the Aging from the Contingency Fund for the purchase of a bus. Chairman Garrett referred to Item #3 on the Agenda: (Release of Reading Program Funds: The 1975-1976 County budget carries a $226,0,00.00 contingency appropriation for reading improvement. Both .the County and Chapel Hill School Units have been advised that to date their programs have not been funded. They foresee little likelihood their programs will be funded and are requesting the County release its contingency appropriation. The appropriate division of these funds is, Chapel Hill $116,570.80; and the County $109,429.20.) It was painted out that the two school units had expected the State to appropriate the funds needed for the continuation of the Reading Pro- grams. However, at this date no one was aware if the State funds would be forthcoming. The County Administrator advised the Board that the School Boards needed to be advised of whether or not the funds would be appropriated due to the fact that school opens in less than a month and plans had to be made if the Reading Programs were to be continued. Discussion ensued. The Board expressed the concern about the expendi- tures of these monies if the State decided to appropriate funds for the Reading Programs. It was agreed that the Board could appropriate the monies to the School Boards with the understanding that these monies would revert to the County if the State decided to fund these programs. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted that the County appropriate from the Contingency Fund to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Board the sum of $116,570.80; and to the County School Board the sum of $109,429.20, with the understanding that if the Reading Programs are funded by the State then this appropria- tion is to be returned to the County. The Chairman referred to Item #4 on the Agenda: (A Resolution adjust- ing Fees at the joint Landfill effective August 15, 1975.) The County Administrator advised the Board that the tonage in the Landfill was not reaching the expectations. Therefore, the towns of Carrboro and Chapel Hill felt that the fees need to be adjusted.

Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Whitted, the fallowing Resolution was unanimously adopted.
