1. The farm-to-market road fund allotted to any county as provided in this chapter shall
remain available for expenditure in said county for three years after the close of the fiscal
year during which said sums respectively were allocated. Any sum remaining unexpended
at the end of the period during which it is available for expenditure shall be reapportioned
among all the counties as provided in section 312.5 for original allocations.
2. For the purposes of this section, any sums of the farm-to-market road fund allotted to
any county shall be presumed to have been expended when a contract has been awarded
obligating the sums. When projects and their estimated costs, which are proposed to be
funded from the farm-to-market road fund, are submitted to the department for approval, the
department shall estimate the total funding necessary and the period during which claims for
the projects will be filed. After anticipating the funding necessary for approved projects, the
department may temporarily allocate additional moneys from the farm-to-market road fund
for use in any other farm-to-market projects. However, a county shall not be temporarily
allocated funds for projects in excess of the county’s anticipated farm-to-market road fund
allocation for the current fiscal year plus the four succeeding fiscal years.
3. If in the judgment of the department the anticipated claims against the primary road
fund for any month are in excess of moneys available, a temporary transfer for highway
construction costs may be made from the farm-to-market road fund to the primary road
fund provided that there will remain in the transferring fund a sufficient balance to meet
the anticipated obligations. All transfers shall be repaid from the primary road fund to the
farm-to-market road fund within sixty days from the date of the transfer. A transfer shall
be made only with the approval of the director of the department of management and shall
comply with the director of the department of management’s rules relating to the transfer
of funds. Similar transfers may be made by the department from the primary road fund to
the farm-to-market road fund and these transfers shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions that transfers from the farm-to-market road fund to the primary road fund are
subject.
