Except as provided in subsection (5) of this section, the Department of Rural
and Municipal Aid shall allocate the funds set apart under KRS 177.320(1) for
construction, reconstruction, and maintenance of state-maintained secondary
and rural highways as follows:
(a) One-fifth (1/5) shall be apportioned equally among the one hundred
twenty (120) counties.
(b) One-fifth (1/5) shall be apportioned among the one hundred twenty (120)
counties on the basis of the ratio which the rural population of each
county bears to the total rural population of the state. "Rural population"
as used here means the population in a county outside cities, towns, and
urban areas having a population of twenty-five hundred (2,500) or more
as shown by the most recent decennial census of the United States
Bureau of the Census, and county population shall be determined by the
most recent decennial census of the United States Bureau of the Census.
(c) One-fifth (1/5) shall be apportioned among the one hundred twenty (120)
counties on the basis of the ratio that the public road mileage outside of
cities, towns, and urban areas having a population of twenty-five hundred
(2,500) or more bears to the total mileage of such roads for the entire
state.
(d) Two-fifths (2/5) shall be apportioned among the one hundred twenty (120)
counties on the basis of the ratio which the square-mile rural area of the
county bears to the total square-mile rural area of the state. "Rural area"
as used here means that area of the county outside of cities, towns, and
urban areas having a population of twenty-five hundred (2,500) or more
and shown by the most recent decennial census of the United States
Bureau of the Census.
A sum not exceeding six percent (6%) of the allocation provided by KRS
177.320(1) to each county shall be deducted at the beginning of each fiscal
year and adjusted quarterly to cover the maintenance, administrative,
engineering, and other costs of the program.
Of the total amount apportioned by the provisions of this section, a sum not
exceeding six percent (6%) may be deducted and placed by the Department of
Rural and Municipal Aid in a special emergency account to be expended at the
direction of the commissioner to meet unforeseen emergencies on rural and
secondary roads and bridges.
Apportionments as required by the provisions of this section shall be made on
the basis of revenue estimates supplied by the Finance and Administration
Cabinet and adjusted quarterly in accordance with the most recent revision of
the estimates by the Finance and Administration Cabinet.
Any county eligible to receive county road aid moneys in accordance with KRS
177.320 and this section shall be required to submit a uniform financial
information report to the Department for Local Government in accordance with
KRS 65.905 before any payment of county road aid funds shall be made. The
Department for Local Government shall notify the Department of Rural and
Municipal Aid no later than March 1 annually of any county that has not
submitted a uniform financial information report. The Department of Rural and
Municipal Aid shall, upon notification by the Department for Local Government,
immediately suspend all county road aid moneys to the county until the county
complies with the provisions of KRS 65.900 to 65.925 and submits the uniform
financial information report to the Department for Local Government. The
Department for Local Government shall immediately notify the Department of
Rural and Municipal Aid to reinstate county road aid moneys to any county
affected by this subsection as soon as the county submits the uniform financial
information report.
