Whereas, the former method of determining inter-county allocations of Secondary Roads and Farm-to-

Whereas, the Secondary Road Fund Distribution Advisory Committee, pursuant to the mandate of Iowa
Code Section 312.3C, has developed and recommended a new method known as the "Factor Breakdown
Method", and,
Whereas, after due study, Jefferson County has determined that the proposed method will provide a base
level of funding for all counties, and will allow for the allocation of funds to shift as population, system
size, and traffic change, and,
Whereas, the proposed method has been endorsed by the Executive Boards of the Iowa County Engineers
Association and the Iowa State Association of County Supervisors,
Now Therefore, Be it Resolved that Jefferson County, Iowa hereby endorses the adoption of the Factor
Breakdown Method by the Legislature as presented by the Secondary Road Fund Distribution Advisory
Committee, to become effective in FY 2007 and be phased in over a five year period.
