Payment of money to each county by the Department of Transportation for the purposes stated in Sections 6-701.1 through 6-701.8, shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment is made. Such money shall be utilized by the county in accordance with the needs of the county in a manner satisfactory to the Department.
     However, if any county, after having been given reasonable notice by the Department, fails to expend motor fuel tax funds in a manner satisfactory to the Department, no further payment of motor fuel tax funds shall be made to such county for construction or maintenance purposes until it corrects its unsatisfactory use of motor fuel tax funds.
