(2) When the property of any other board or institution within the county is conveyed to the board, and such property is owned, maintained or controlled in whole or in part <br>by any city or division or district in the city, the conveyance shall first be authorized <br>by the legislative body or other city board of such city or division or district; and <br>when the property is owned, maintained or controlled in whole or in part by the <br>county, the conveyance shall first be authorized by the fiscal court of the county.
