18under s. 20.395, other than those for debt service and sum sufficient appropriations,
19from the transportation fund as equitably as reasonable. This plan may not include
20the reduction of any state funds appropriation if the reduction would violate a

20culvert only after obtaining a permit under s. 86.07 (2)
or (2m). In lieu of issuing a
21permit, the authority in charge of maintenance of the highway may proceed to do the
22work itself. Except as provided in s. 86.075, the expenses involved in such lowering
23shall be borne by the drainage district, or as provided by mutual agreement between
24the highway authority and the drainage board.".
