1. Notwithstanding section 310.4, if the board of supervisors of a county does not
plan to utilize its farm-to-market road fund allocation for the succeeding fiscal year for
farm-to-market projects, the board may annually, by stipulation in the secondary road
construction program and secondary road budget submitted to the department in accordance

allocation, up to a maximum of fifty percent of its anticipated total annual allocation, for

the total funds that the county transferred or provided during the prior fiscal year pursuant

to section 331.429, subsection 1, paragraphs “a”, “b”, “d”, and “e”, are at least seventy-five
percent of the sum of the following:

seven-eighths cents per thousand dollars of assessed value on all taxable property in the
county.
b. From the rural services fund of the county, the dollar equivalent of a tax of three dollars
and three-eighths of a cent per thousand dollars of assessed value on all taxable property not
located within the corporate limits of a city in the county.
