        309.10  USE OF FARM-TO-MARKET ROAD FUND.
         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 with sections 309.22 and 309.93, determine
      an amount of the unobligated portion of its allocation, up to a
      maximum of fifty percent of its anticipated total annual allocation,
      for the construction and reconstruction of local secondary roads.
      However, moneys from the farm-to-market road fund shall not be so
      used if the moneys are needed to match federal funds available for
      farm-to-market road projects.
         A county shall not use farm-to-market road funds as described in
      this section unless 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:
         1.  From the general fund of the county, the dollar equivalent of
      a tax of sixteen and seven-eighths cents per thousand dollars of
      assessed value on all taxable property in the county.
         2.  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.
