312.3  Apportionment to counties and cities.

The treasurer of state shall, on the first day of each month:

1.  Apportion among the counties in the ratio that the needs of the secondary roads of each county bear to the total needs of the secondary roads of the state for each fiscal year based upon the total needs of secondary roads of the state as shown in the latest quadrennial need study report developed by the state department of transportation, and which is on record at the department, seventy percent of the allocation from road use tax funds which is credited to the secondary road fund of the counties, and apportion among the counties in the ratio that the area of each county bears to the total area of the state, thirty percent of the allocation from road use tax funds which is credited to the secondary road fund of the counties.

For the purposes of this subsection, "latest quadrennial need study report" includes the annual recalculation of construction and maintenance needs of roads whose jurisdiction has been transferred from the department to a county or from a county to the department during the previous year as recalculated pursuant to section 307A.2, subsection 14A.

2.  Apportion among the cities of the state, in the ratio which the population of each city, as shown by the latest available federal census, bears to the total population of all such cities in the state, the percentage of the road use tax funds which is credited to the street fund of the cities, and shall remit to the city clerk of each such city the amount so apportioned to such city. A city may have one special federal census taken each decade, and the population figure thus obtained shall be used in apportioning amounts under this subsection beginning the calendar year following the year in which the special census is certified by the secretary of state.

3.  In any case where a city has been incorporated since the latest available federal census the mayor and council shall certify to the state treasurer the actual population of such incorporated city as of the date of incorporation and its apportionment of funds under this section shall be based upon such certification until the next federal census enumeration. Any community which has dissolved its corporation shall not receive any apportionment of funds under this certificate for any period after said corporation has been dissolved.

4.  In any case where a city has annexed any territory since the last available federal census or special federal census, the mayor and council shall certify to the treasurer of state the actual population of such annexed territory as determined by the last certified federal census of said territory and the apportionment of funds under this section shall be based upon the population of said city as modified by the certification of the population of the annexed territory until the next federal or special federal census enumeration.

5.  In any case where two or more cities have consolidated, the apportionment of funds under this section shall be based upon the population of the city resulting from said consolidation and shall be determined by combining the population of all cities involved in the consolidation as determined by the last available federal or special federal census enumeration for said consolidating city.
