The authority of the county engineer shall be limited to the expenditure of such funds for the purpose of construction, maintenance, or repair of public roads, highways, bridges, and ferries of the county as may be set aside and appropriated by the county commission. It shall be the duty of the county commission at some meeting in September of each calendar year, or not later than the first meeting in October, to fix and determine the amount of funds which will be available for the purpose of building, maintaining, and constructing public roads, highways, bridges, and ferries of the county for the current fiscal year. Provided, however, the county commission is authorized, from time to time, to increase the amount so allowed to be expended by the county engineer, when the authorization will not conflict with general law under the budget act, Chapter 8, Title 11. Provided further, that if such funds are presently available and have not heretofore been set aside by the present Pike County Commission, immediately upon November 23, 1988, it shall be the duty of the county commission to set aside a sufficient portion of the funds for the maintenance of roads, highways, bridges, and ferries until the meeting in September or October.
