Pursuant to subsection A of § 33.2-358, the Board shall make the following
payments to counties that have withdrawn or elect to withdraw from the secondary
state highway system under the provisions of § 11 of Chapter 415 of the Acts of
Assembly of 1932 and that have not elected to return: to any county having
withdrawn prior to June 30, 1985, and having an area greater than 100 square
miles, an amount equal to $12,529 per lane-mile for fiscal year 2014, and to any
county having an area less than 100 square miles, an amount equal to $17,218 per
lane-mile for fiscal year 2014; to any county that elects to withdraw after June
30, 1985, the Board shall establish a rate per lane-mile for the first year
using (i) an amount for maintenance based on maintenance standards and unit
costs used by the Department to prepare its secondary state highway system
maintenance budget for the year in which the county withdraws and (ii) an amount
for administration equal to five percent of the maintenance figure determined in
clause (i). The payment rates shall be adjusted annually by the Board in
accordance with procedures established for adjusting payments to cities and
towns under § 33.2-319, and lane mileage shall be adjusted annually to include
(a) streets and highways accepted for maintenance in the county system by the
local governing body or (b) streets and highways constructed according to
standards set forth in the county subdivision ordinance or county thoroughfare
plan, and being not less than the standards set by the Department. Such counties
shall be eligible to receive allocations pursuant to subsection B of §
33.2-358.
		Payment of the funds shall be made in four equal sums, one in each quarter of
the fiscal year.
		The chief administrative officer of such counties receiving such funds shall
make annual reports of expenditures to the Board, in such form as the Board
shall prescribe, accounting for all expenditures, including delineation between
construction and maintenance expenditures and reporting on their performance as
specified in subsection B of § 33.2-352. Such reports shall be included in the
scope of the annual audit of each county conducted by independent certified
public accountants.
