§ 7-203.2.

The municipality shall also have the authority upon the Department satisfying itself that (1) the municipality has complied with the requirements of Section 7-301, and (2) has appointed a full time city or public engineer and (3) that the city or public engineer's office in the municipality is adequately organized, staffed, equipped and financed to discharge satisfactorily the duties and requirements of this Section to construct and maintain streets or highways or sections of highways when such projects are financed, in whole or in part, with any motor fuel tax street or road funds received from the State except Federal-aid funds, without the approval and supervision of the Department, provided the municipality enters into an agreement of understanding with the Department. The Department, in cooperation with the municipality, shall establish the terms of the agreement of understanding to assure that the funds are expended within the intent of the law and under the rules and regulations deemed necessary by the Department. The approval and supervision of the Department may be required anew if the Department deems that the municipality, which was exempted from such supervision and approval, has not satisfactorily complied with the terms of the agreement of understanding.
