Sec. 14.
(1) Each county road commission and city and village of the state shall prepare biennial primary road and major street programs, based on long-range plans, and shall make the programs available for review by the public.
(2) Separate accounts shall be kept by cities, villages, and county road commissions of all money returned from the Michigan transportation fund. This subsection shall not be construed to prevent the combining of accounts on which separate bookkeeping records are kept into a single deposit account.
(3) All county road commissions and cities and villages shall keep accurate and uniform records on all road and street work and funds, and shall annually report to the state transportation department at the time, in the manner, and on forms prescribed by the state transportation department the mileage of each road system under their jurisdiction and the receipts and disbursements of road and street funds. In the annual report, each county road commission shall report on its compliance in the preceding year with the requirements of section 12(16) and (17). The report shall also specify, with respect to section 12(17), the total dollar amount expended for other than maintenance purposes which would not have been permissible without the deduction of certain urban route expenditures as permitted under section 12(17). The report shall also specify the justification for a waiver of the requirement of section 12(17), if that requirement was waived.
(4) The expenditure of adequate amounts, by county road commissions and the cities and villages, from funds returned by this act, to cover the cost of administration, engineering, and record keeping is hereby authorized, and expenditures for those purposes shall be reported separately by each county road commission, city, and village to the state transportation department.
(5) All distributions and returns of funds provided for in this act shall be withheld from the state transportation department, eligible authorities, county road commissions, cities, villages, or other eligible governmental agencies for failure to comply with any of the requirements of this act, and the withholding shall continue for the period of noncompliance.
(6) Money distributed to county road commissions for the maintenance and improvement of county local road systems pursuant to section 12 represents the total responsibility of the state for local county road support. Additional funds required for the support of county local road systems may be supplied from other money returned to the township governments by the state under the state constitution of 1963 and statutes of the state, or from funds that can be raised by taxation in the townships or counties for road purposes within the limitations of the state constitution of 1963 and statutes of the state.
